Nicki Minaj; possibly the worst role model out there nowadays

                I very much dislike Nicki Minaj I understand that there are people who love her music, I am not one of them. I can honestly say that as a person I really hate the way she portrays herself as well. That being said, I’ve never met the woman, I’m going off my impressions from interviews, videos and her conversations online with people.

                The latest Minaj blunder comes forward on Twitter where Nicki cancelled her show at V Festival and Dublin because of strained vocal chords. Fans reacted accordingly, some telling her that they were obviously very upset ticked that she cancelled. Instead of just saying that’s life, she took to social media to rant the hell out of everyone with the following tweets:

               Any photo without a picture indicates that it has been removed from Twitter, but as is the case with the internet once it’s there it never leaves. She begins by telling anyone who has a negative thing to say to her to #EatShitandDie, but only because she’s human followed by; if you can’t understand her then it’s obvious “your mother’s a WHORE. This rant ends with my favorite tweet- she shares her frustration in the final tweet with #killyafuckingself. I can hear her publicist face-palming and the internet gathering weapons now.

                First off, I don’t care how mad you are at someone; there is no rhyme or reason to tell anyone to go kill themself. Ever. Not only do you not know who would take that to heart, but that’s the behavior that you’re modeling for your younger fans. Remember those two cute little British girls that loved Nicki Minaj? What if that’s what they thought was the appropriate way to treat people when they were mad? There is no reason for this at all, I don’t care if you’re upset or hurt you DO NOT tell someone to go and kill themself.

                Secondly, now I’m not sure what anyone’s mother has to do with this conversation, but again like point listed above, this is the behavior you’re modeling for your fans. Instead of reinforcing respect and decency, you’re reinforcing that when you’re mad you can call someone’s mother a whore because they aren’t getting you.  Take a fucking breath. Calm down and then address people. Don’t shoot off like a primed and ready pistol because you don’t think people are treating you fair. You know what’s unfair? Someone’s child using the insults you feel you have the divine right to use, to another child in order to bully that child because their idol uses it. Cruelty for children and teenagers is like fire and you’re just gasoline.

                Finally Nicki, your tweet about not letting people make you feel horrible is exactly what needs to happen. I agree, not about your health but about everything else. Speaking frankly, you are a terrible role model, this incident just enforced this. I’m sure you have some very lovely qualities, but they are not the ones that you show the world. Women and men alike need good strong role models to look up to, not the ones that get mad an enforce behavior that’s leading to an epidemic of bullying and bullying-related suicide. I sincerely hope that you’ll stand up and be a role model that admits their mistakes and apologizes for everything you’ve tweeted about. You are human, we all are – we make mistakes. We also need to be the humans that own that and show people we are capable of admitting we’re wrong.
