Queen of controversy Nicki Minaj apologized for images in her lyric video for "Only." The Anti-Defamation League and Twitter viewers called the video anti-semitic for several moments that draw comparisons to Nazism.



"The artist who made the video for 'Only' was influenced by a cartoon on Cartoon Network called Metalocalypse and [the non–Cartoon Network-affiliated movie and graphic novel] Sin City," Nicki said in a post on Twitter. "Both the producer and person in charge of overseeing the lyric video (one of my best friends and videographer: A. Loucas), happen to be Jewish. I didn't come up with the concept, but I'm very sorry and take full responsibility if it has offended anyone. I'd never condone Nazism in my art." Video director Jeffrey Osborne said he will not apologize for the video.
