First she posted the following message to fans via her Instagram page:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;What seems to be the issue now?&#8221; Minaj wrote today, along with a super sexy image of herself shooting a gun from the video. &#8220;Do you have a problem with me referring to the people Malcolm X was ready to pull his gun out on as Lookin Ass N&#8212;-z? Well, I apologize. That was never the official artwork nor is this an official single. This is a conversation. Not a single. I am in the video shooting at Lookin Ass N&#8212;-z and there happened to be an iconic photo of Malcolm X ready to do the same thing for what he believed in!!!! It is in no way to undermine his efforts and legacy. I apologize to the Malcolm X estate if the meaning of the photo was misconstrued. The word \u2018n&#8212;a&#8217; causes so much debate in our community while the \u2018n&#8212;a&#8217; behavior gets praised and worship. Let&#8217;s not. Apologies again to his family. I have nothing but respect an adoration for u. The photo was removed hours ago. Thank you.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And just in case you didn&#8217;t get that memo, she called Angie Martinez and gave her thoughts.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/POoxok1v3JA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>One thing I love about artists like Nicki is that she&#8217;s fairly sincere.
