BRiTTY - #SuperBassTo1B September 15, 2021 She is taking hold of ALL the POWER & INFLUENCE she holds. When will people learn NICKI MINAJ is NOT going to be backed into any damn corner? Y’all are not going to freely tarnish her name & gallop away unchecked with your twisted agendas/forced narratives. Later, Minaj retweeted a post saying she will “not be backed into any damn corner.” but let’s make the topic: Nicki talks to white racists so that you can all sleep better tonight. You know how many US Presidents were white supremacists? Oh please. If another party tells u to look out for that bus, stand there & get hit If you’re black & a Democrat tells u to shove marbles up ur ass, you simply have to. I can’t speak to, agree with, even look at someone from a particular political party. But Minaj did not back away from posting it: Prior to the alleged suspension, several Twitter users scolded Minaj for sharing the video from Carlson’s program. In a statement to The Daily Beast, however, Twitter said it did not censor Minaj for her tweets: “Twitter did not take any enforcement action on the account referenced.” Can we get #FreeNicki trending? /zPXiSmkTWp The rapper’s accusations came Wednesday after she posted a video of Fox News host Tucker Carlson defending her expression of concerns about the coronavirus vaccines.Īccording to an Instagram story on Minaj’s account, the rapper was placed in “Twitter jail” after posting the Tucker Carlson video:Īpparently is in Twitter jail. The 33-year-old crown prince, backed by his father King Salman, presides over a nation where he alone defines the pace and scope of change.Twitter has denied claims from rapper Nicki Minaj that the social media giant censored her account. While the arena for entertainment is widening, the space for political engagement and dissent has virtually disappeared. The spectacle would have been unthinkable until recently in the ultra-conservative kingdom, where religious police used to enforce strict gender segregation and scolded women for not covering their hair.īut there’s a hard limit to the reforms as revealed by the brutal killing of the Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents close to the crown prince in October and the reported torture of several women’s rights activists in detention. In December 2018, some women without headscarves drove themselves to a Formula-E car race where thousands of young Saudis and hundreds of international visitors partied into the night at concerts. Saudi Arabia saw profound change last year as a result of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s top-down reform efforts, including the opening of the first movie theater and the lifting of the world’s only ban on women driving. The kingdom is also promising quick electronic visas for international visitors who want to attend. Saudi organizers said the Jeddah World Fest will be broadcast globally. That’s a stark change from when Saudi morality police would raid establishments that played loud music. Over the past several months, the kingdom has seen performances by Carey, Enrique Iglesias, the Black Eyed Peas, Sean Paul, David Guetta and Tiesto. Minaj’s moral stance differs from celebrity performers like J-Lo and Mariah Carey, who in the past have chosen to line their pockets with millions of dollars and stand with dictatorial governments as opposed to with oppressed communities and imprisoned human rights activists.” We hope that he follows Nicki Minaj’s lead. “The July 18 festival in Saudi Arabia still shows Liam Payne as a performer. We are grateful to Nicki Minaj for her inspiring and thoughtful decision to reject the Saudi regime’s transparent attempt at using her for a public relations stunt,” said Thor Halvorssen, president of the Human Rights Foundation. On Tuesday, the New York-based organization praised Minaj‘s decision to not perform at the concert. The Human Rights Foundation issued a statement last week, calling for Minaj and other performers to pull out of the show. Other performers include the former One Direction member Liam Payne and DJ-producer Steve Aoki. Jeddah World Fest, which in line with Saudi laws is alcohol- and drug-free, is open to people 16 and older and will take place at the King Abdullah Sports Stadium in the Red Sea city. In Saudi Arabia, gender segregation between single men and women is still enforced in many restaurants, coffee shops, public schools and universities, but other rules have loosened, with women now allowed to drive and attend events in sports stadiums. Minaj was originally scheduled to headline the concert on 18 July.
