The Buzz: Blackface Nicki Minaj Costume Gets Ripped on Instagram, Dawn Richards Releases New Video and More

A woman gets dragged for blackface Nicki Minaj costume.

Benzino and Althea Axed?  - Word on the street is Benzino and Althea have been clipped from Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta. According to reports, they were booted because they were blamed for starting the major brawl with Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez and producers sided with the latter two.Our take is that this doesnt sound entirely true. Benzino has proven to be quite entertaining. Plus, there have been other brawls before. So why, all of a sudden, would they get clipped for fighting? (Photo: Prince Williams/FilmMagic)
Nicki Minaj on having an abortion as a teenager: - “I thought I was going to die. I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I’d ever gone through. It’d be contradictory if I said I wasn’t pro-choice. I wasn’t ready. I didn’t have anything to offer a child.”(Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

Halloween Blackface - As usual, people think it's cute to dress in blackface when Halloween rolls around, so it shouldn't be surprising that one clueless woman "dressed up" as Nicki Minaj. She donned an Afro wig, painted her face dark (way darker than Nicki's actual complexion, by the way) and padded her butt. She then posted the photos on Instagram and got dragged accordingly. She claims that she's "just dressing like a character and that she isn't racist." We say, you should know better by now. Halloween is tomorrow so dress up how you want, even if that character is Black, but stay away from face painting if you're not Black. K? Miley Cyrus pulled off Lil Kim last year without painting herself darker so, you can do it too!.Check out the Nicki costume drama here. (Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)
