Why Nicki Minaj is the Most Annoying Person in Music Right Now

No, no, Nicki: Fuck you.
​Am I the only one who really, really hates Nicki Minaj? You'd think so based on only a smattering of anti-Nicki talk on ye ole interwebz, compared to a torrent of anti Ke-dollarsign-ha fury and all the hate of other comparable slutwave artists.

For example: There are a mere 1,500 members of the "I hate Nicki Minaj" Facebook group whereas over 5,000 hate Ke-dollarsign-ha and two anti Katy Perry groups have 4,000-plus members each.

Yet there absolutely is no more annoying personality in current popular music than Ms. Minaj. Her fashion, her flow, her dumb little voices, her stupid fucking name -- Nicki Minaj is the trashiest, most annoying act going.

Here's a complete catalog of why...

Her Stupid Fucking Name

Yes, I prefer the classic double-K spelling of Nikki but that's not really my issue. We even have a Nicki around the office and she's OK. But Minaj? This chick's real name is Onika Tanya Maraj, which sounds like it could do the job. Instead, she switched a few letters to make it sound vaguely dirty -- Ménage obviously being a French loanword co-opted to mean threesome. It's trashy as hell, and every time I hear it I think it sounds like a really dumb pun. At the very least it makes it impossible to take her seriously.

Yes, lots of pop tarts play the hoochie game. It sells, I get it.

However, it's doubly annoying that Nicki goes and gives Vibe a quote about how she doesn't want or need to whore it up. Not true -- starting with that annoying name.

Speaking of her claims about not using sex...

Her Lack of Respect for Her Obvious Direct Influences

"When I grew up I saw females doing certain things, and I thought I had to do that exactly," she says. "The female rappers of my day spoke about sex a lot... and I thought that to have the success they got, I would have to represent the same thing. When in fact I didn't have to represent the same thing," Nicki  said.

This is an obvious shot at ladies like Lil' Kim who is too old, deaf and incarcerated to play the part of competitor anymore anyway. You're basically the only chick in the game right now, Nicki, so, please, show a little fucking respect for the person you stole your entire black Barbie image and girly-girl flow from.

Speaking of her flow...

Her comments on AI are shallow, stupid and generally stupid. Her music is the worst kind of contrived tripe. This bitch should disappear forever...

I am a young person and I think this woman is pathetic. I too know why these Anti-Nicki groups are not very popular, because real intellectuals don't even bother. They do not care enough to go on facebook and search for anti-celebrity groups, let alone do they use Facebook. Truly smart people (and by this I mean those who are disgusted by this character) and go on to lead accomplished lives are nose deep in books and work, and do not spare the energy for such junk.

I am so angered that she is a judge on American Idol.  I always used to watch it and now I can't because I want to smash my TV in everytime she opens her ugly mouth!

Help, I am raising 4 kids in this crazy country, why is it that a completely untalented ass injected, unlearned, self promoting, at any cost, woman making 15 million this past year at the fore front of our music culture??????? She blathers on and on over and above the real genuine talent, all the while making sure her hair looks perfect for the camera. Have some grace and humility Nicki, you are a disgrace to anyone who has a God given talent to entertain mankind.

Who is this talentless nobody?  Why is she qualified to judge American Idiot?  She seems to know nothing about music / singing (she's a "rapper" after all), except how "cute" every second male contestant is and that she want to marry or have their babies...


What a waste of oxygen.  No wonder music is in the state it is today with such dregs being elevated to so much celebrity.

Fuck Nicki Minaj, she's fucking garbage...and where does she get off judging people based on talent when she has no fucking talent?!?

hmm, I just read the article and I dont understand why New Times is allowing articles to be written that serve no purpose other than to slam a celebrity that the journalist doesnt like. I dont like Nicki either, but writing a hateful article I like even less. Listen to Anthony Lustmord and try writing about artists you like rather than focusing on negative pieces like this.

@John Morgan If you're a celebrity, you open yourself up to public critique.  It's what they get the money for.  'Cause, at least in this fat-ass baboon's case, she sure ain't getting paid  for her talents!

Anthony Lustmord

The new times should probably focus on writing articles about artists they actually like, rather than putting focus on someone that they dislike. Radio, Print, and other media outlets should simple stop covering her or have the label buy ads for her coverage. That would solve most problems right there.

@Anthony Lustmord Ha ACTUALLY this annoying talentless bitch is shoved in our faces at NBA all star break, all over the radio and music mediums, hosting American Idol, etc and maybe people are sick of it. We don't like how the machine hoists people like this up into the limelight while drowning out an entire country of talented, starving, more deserving people. It's great this site exists so we know we're not alone in how we feel. Makes me feel like I'm going crazy when I see people are BRAINWASHED by this garbage. So clearly these people don't bother you in your bland ass, no tv watching, no music listening ass. Yeah the forum isn't for you. So you can kindly fuck off and let us rip on this juvenile whore.

i dont. i have never "thought" about nicki minaj. couldnt name one song she "sings"--- not trying to be rude, just dont even know if she sings or raps or polkas?

@Kal Varnson Do you live in a barn? Don't watch TV? Don't watch sports events? Don't has a SMARTPHONE? If not, what part of the country are you in where this bitch hasn't infiltrated your sanity? I have never purposely listening to one of her songs.

My process for Nicki Minaj has always been minding my own business, at the gym, in my car, at home, and this bitch finds a way to infiltrate my eardrums and when she does its ALWAYS something more annoying, obnoxious, and childish, she actually pushes it further and further each time. I actually heard her make "I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I" a lyric.

Nicki Minaj's face looks like a really bad case of hemorrhoids after a woman has been in labor for more than 12 hours.

"You're basically the only chick in the game right now, Nicki," - WRONG. How about Silk-E, CMG, Lauren Hill, Eryka Badu, Apani, Afya, uh....need I continue. I don't like Nicki Minaj, but the person that wrote this fucking shit article is a moron.

@Mo Morgan Dude you stuck in the 90's? HELLO Lauryn Hill quit music, Badu basically too. When have you heard Silk E and the other one on the radio? Damn bro maybe don't post on current events since you're CLEARLY out of touch

Until I read this article I had never heard of her. I was totally amused by the article. I will now forget I ever heard of her.
