Nicki Minaj’s ‘Stupid …’ video too hot for TV
Add Nicki Minaj to the checklist of artists with a video deemed “too hot for Television.” The Grammy-nominated rapper is gaining loads of headlines, and publicity such as this post, for her most current video, “Stupid Hoe,” due to the fact of its absence on networks such as BET.
The video for the first track lifted off her extremely anticipated — and lately pushed back — sophomore disc, “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,” apparently got the ax or rejection from the Viacom-owned network.
Even though BET hasn’t announced any precise factors why it’s banned (a rep for the network didn’t return our ask for for comment) we can take a number of guesses as to why the track could be deemed unsuitable for air:
BET Bans ‘Stupid Hoe’ Music Video by Nicki Minaj

BET has been notorious for banning some of the most common songs and music videos from their airwaves, and the most recent up to be banned is Nicki Minaj’s extremely viral video for “Stupid Hoe.”
There’s been no rhyme or cause as to why, but the speculation is that it is visuals are also hot for Tv. It appears to be a bit much more tame than Ciara’s “Ride” video– but hey, to each it is very own. Nicki plainly is not the very first to have a video black listed from the network, as Game’s “Red Nation” was nixed as well as the aforementioned Ciara vid.
Nicki did share that any sort of ban wouldn’t be affecting the way her video would be displayed. “Can’t premiere on a network b/c its critical that my art is not tampered with, or compromised prior to you viewing it for the 1st time.”
Luckily with the world wide web these days, individuals don’t need to tune in to the Television to get their censored Nicki repair, they can do it online and take a peek the way that the YMCMB boss lady meant.

BET bans Nicki Minaj’s ‘Stupid Hoe’ video
Roman Zolanski’s really done it this time.
Like Ciara and the Game before her, Nicki Minaj is seeing her latest music video — the vibrant, Hype Williams-directed “Stupid Hoe” – banned from BET.
Though the network hasn’t officially cited specific reasons behind the move, a rep confirmed to TMZ that the clip would not be airing on the channel due to its general explicit nature. Sorry, delicate BET viewers!
The single, taken from the raptrix’s forthcoming Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (out April 3), prominently features the line “you a stupid hoe,” and the bonkers video is haunted by a floating, disembodied bare booty.
If you absolutely demand to see Minaj on television, however, she will be performing this weekend at what’s in theory one of the most family-friendly venues in America, the Super Bowl. Hopefully for NBC’s sake, all booties will be draped and attached to their rightful owners.

Whatcha Say: The Good, The Bad And The Vampiric In This Week’s Reader Comments

It was also a week that saw new music from Mariah Carey, JLS and Christina Aguilera surface, and everyone seemed to have an opinion on how these pop stars’ careers either are or should be operating. Head below for an earful and eyeful in our roundup of readers comments!
