During the outro of the song, the 37-year-old rapper spits, “Used to be bi, but now I’m just hetero”, which enraged many people online who felt like the lyric was demeaning.
“nicki minaj singing “used to be bi but now i’m just hetero” is so problematic. people are gonna take that to justify saying that bisexuality is just a phase which it 100% isn’t,” wrote one
Minaj has briefly spoken about being bisexual before. In a 2010 interview with Rolling Stone, the rapstress admitted that, during the early stages of her career, she claimed to be bi to “get attention”.
“I think girls are sexy,” she says in the interview, “But I’m not going to lie and say that I date girls.” Minaj is currently married to husband Kenneth ‘Zoo’ Petty.
