Nicki Minaj has never been one to refrain from speaking her mind. This week, the “No Frauds” mastermind took aim at the fashion industry for marginalizing people of color while drawing influence from their culture.
Minaj was performing at the Philipp Plein Spring/Summer ’18 runway show during New York Fashion Week alongside Future, 21 Savage, Yo Gotti and Teyana Taylor. As she expressed gratitude to designer Philipp Plein, she also made it clear she believes diversity is too rarely embraced in the fashion world.
“Thank you for including our culture,” she said to huge applause from the crowd. “Designers get really big, really rich off of our culture, and then you don’t see a motherfucker that look anything like us in the front row half the time. So let’s make some noise for Philipp Plein tonight.”
(Her comments can be heard in the final minute of the video below.)

The German-born Plein also shared a video on Instagram that features Minaj, Taylor, Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee, Savage and more performing on the runway as the crowd goes wild.
The audience included plenty of other major Hip Hop figures such as Fabolous and 50 Cent.

Isn’t this the artist that got slaughtered by remy? She never makes sense when she speaks publicly

She look like black Inhumans with that hair tho. #TheseAreJustBarbzForTheBarbie
Was saying the same thing. Mfers be giving out free advertisement on their records and photo shoots knowing well them ppl don’t give two F’s about them.
Lmao yep gotta love the french and italians
Lmao coming from the bitch that look like the villain from 101 dalmations
Also coming from a plastic ass bitch who gets skin lightening treatments and surgery to pull her ugly ass eyes tighter together has oriental writing tattoos on her body and even how shes worn many of her weaves with a asian tweak so who the fucks this self hating bitch got any right to talk about cultural appropriation lmao
So a fake and plastic puppet that gets her skin’s lightened is saying all of this? LMFAO what a retard, all that butt fat has gone to her tiny brain.
“Better pray you don’t get stuck with a muthafuckin Melania!” Oh, wait…
