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)
