World-famous rapper Nicki Minaj has apologised for featuring Nazi-style imagery in her new video.

The video, for her song Only, features swastika-style flags, a gas mask with the word “chamber” over it and shows the rap star being saluted by troops wearing red armbands.

Online commenters branded it as offensive, with one posting: “The new Nicki Minaj video is disturbing. Using blatant Nazi imagery is both shocking and deeply disrespectful.”

Ms Minaj issued a statement on Twitter yesterday. She said: “I didn't come up w/the concept, but I'm very sorry & take full responsibility if it has offended anyone. I'd never condone Nazism in my art.”
