Watch Nicki Minaj’s “Only” with animation courtesy of Metalocalypse

The animated lyric video for Nicki Minaj’s “Only” from her upcoming album, The Pinkprint, caused something of a stir last week with its Nazi-esque, propaganda poster imagery, which brought charges of antisemitism. Both Minaj and the video’s creator, Jeff Osborne, took to social media soon thereafter to do some much-needed spin doctoring, but the two did not to be on the same page in terms of their overall message. For some reason choosing MySpace as his platform, Osborne huffily refused to apologize for the video, which he said was “misinterpreted.” A more contrite Minaj, meanwhile, tweeted that the video was “influenced by a cartoon on Cartoon Network called Metalocalypse & Sin City.”
