Nicki Minaj has had no shortage of controversial moments across her career.

In this case, Nicki has decided she's switched sexualities—a comment not sitting well with many queer fans.


On Doja Cat's "Say So" remix, Minaj includes the lyrics:

"Tell Mike Jordan send me my retros / Used to be bi now I'm just hetero."

Minaj has since claimed she was never bi in the first place, telling Rolling Stone:

"I think girls are sexy...But I'm not going to lie and say that I date girls."





Though the argument can be made that whatever Nicki is experiencing is valid.

Most people are of the mind that it invalidates bisexual identity.

There is already some serious disrespect from both straight and queer folks leveled at bisexual people.





Sexuality is fluid, but most experts and advocates agree it is not a choice.

Some argued Minaj's comments undercut the entire LGBTQ+ community.





This is not the first time Nicki Minaj has come under fire for homophobia in her music.

Nicki's LGBTQ+ standing has definitely been shook by these lyrics. Will we be surprised the next time it happens?

Trump Ripped For Hypocrisy After Claiming He 'Doesn't Know' Who Crypto Founder He Just Pardoned Is

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed during a sit-down interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he doesn't know who Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder Changpeng Zhao is despite pardoning him less than two weeks ago.

In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti–money laundering laws after Binance allegedly failed to report suspicious transactions involving groups such as Hamas and al-Qaida. He later apologized, paid a $50 million fine, and served nearly four months in prison before being pardoned by Trump.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.
