Reality's Revenge

I really don't even know where to start with Nicki Minaj. 

I just think that it's probably better that I don't make space for people to deny reality or contest charges because we all know what she's done. I just want to say that it's very sick that she has cult. And it's specific aim at indoctrinating impressionable children. Then the fact she constantly disrespects other large portion people who will literally kill on her behalf: gay Black men. This lady is virulently homophobic and y'all eat her verbal diarrhea up like it's not making you sick.

Like the very least that you could do is not be homophobic, but you can't even do that. So I'm very curious why they love you so much. They're a lot of theories about all of the psychology that goes into what it is that you're doing. I think one that makes sense to me though is that y'all are projecting a mother figure that y'all also kind of want to fuck on to her, so I don't know. It's really strange. I'd formulate my own opinion of exactly what's so enticing about her to you all, but I honestly don't care to. The complexities don't matter unless y'all are willing to investigate it on your own to free yourselves of this grip she got on y'all. 

But I don't even think it matters. At this point, the mixture of celebrity worship and denial. Just plain psychosis really and lack of ability to face reality. It's hers that transforms into yours. She's created a parasocial relationship that they literally probably need to survive at this point. Both her and the cult. Or at least that's what they've convinced themselves.

What's so sad is that she could have been so great. She tarnished that with materially and morally supporting men who rape. One has to assume she has faced some type of violence that does not allow her to contend with the fact that men are not worth her own demise or detriment. But I don't think she can see it herself because of the levels of indoctrination that women have into patriarchy.

So I give her that much grace, and it's hard for me to do that because she's a grown ass 40 year old woman. And as you all have noted, instead of going to all of the most popular events for celebrities, and being a part of the mix, and the general RENAISSANCE of women Artist supporting women Artist. She's sitting at home getting into totally unnecessary feuds with those women and doxxing other Black women who give the faintest criticisms while aiming her cult to threaten them with physical harm.

In this new era of Hip-Hop/R&B/Rap where she should be thriving as a trailblazer, she has reverted to being a mean girl. She does this by trying to position herself is some type of underdog while totally skirting any and all accountability for all of the malicious actions she takes (on a daily damn near). Even when people have tried to call her in and offer her outs like "Hey, leave your husband as a sign of good faith and display of growth" And you know, it's easy enough for me to tell that to Beyoncé (for different reasons) and understand why she's never gonna do it, but it should be so easy to walk away from Kenneth Petty. Like that's a no-brainer.

He's not a billionaire Rapper mogul. He's a sex offender who makes it so that you can't even go certain places. This man literally limits you. And I'm not trying to say like it's not gross for any celebrity to go to all these opulent events and shit that cater to whiteness like these award shows or these private parties with all this money in the room. I'm just saying that there's a community of Artists and they belong together to make new connections and creations. She would have belonged there, if not for her own decisions and doubling down on these decisions.

I would like and say I'm not praying for her, but I am and the prayers have been going down. All of my prayers are saying, "I hope bad things happen to this lady" and that hurts me because it's a Black woman and I don't feel any different about her than I do a Kamala Harris, Nina Turner, Symone Sanders or anybody else that acts like they have Black people's best interests at heart and will use that shit as a shield when they want to, but then act in service of or be adjacent to white supremacy.

Now she may not be doing this shit purposefully or she may not be aware….

Well she's definitely doing it purposely, but she may not be aware of the extent of the harm she's causing. But ignorance is not a defense and I ain't talking in the court of law. I'm just saying like you being an idiot who is so narcissistic that you cannot see that you are harming, a generation of young queer kids doesn't matter because the harm is being done. The court of public opinion is the only one that really matters because you exist in a society. 

I have been planning to write this for a while and I just spoke this out and plan on editing the transcript because I was trying to speak my heart. I'm glad I did it this way. And now I wonder where do we go from here? Because it don't seem like she's stopping.

So with that being said, the best thing that can happen for everybody is her having come to reality moment. One where she acknowledges the harm that she's done and leaves that man, apologizes for bankrolling her brother, working with predators and all of the shit that she's done harassing women on behalf of men. Like I stated earlier, I don't need to get into the details, but the harm she's caused has not just been indirect, it's been direct as well. People's lives have been affected. People's sense of safety and mental stillness. 

And you know I can make a million posts about the men in the industry that perpetuate these types of harms. I gotta do one about Kanye soon because goddamn it's hard to think about how great he could be in the depths he's fallen to since he peaked in 2013…

But I get even more disappointed when it's a woman, because I expect more. And it's only because y'all are better than men. So when you all don't live up to that expectation, I'm disappointed. I learned a long time ago not to have expectations for anyone. But the general expectation of decency at the very least is always present. I don't get my hopes up that people are gonna redistribute their wealth. I do live squarely in reality. But just like my calls for that. I'm calling for decency and accountability. Even if it never comes.

I also don't expect any Artist to start learning about politics that can free us and then use their voices in that vein. Artists of that pedigree of these times remain shadowed (apparently). But at bare fucking minimum, I as an Artist expect you to practice decency and humility. I wish more of us would hold each other accountable instead of tacitly supporting people because of their influence and stature. Much of which has waned among sane individuals in regards to Onika Tanya Maraj Petty. And I implore you all, whether you are or not a part of that creed (Artists) to demand nothing less of the people that you choose to admire and/or worship.
