F Cardi B! Roman [another Nicki Minaj alter ego that surfaces] is educational material, hah!

WARNING: Vulgar display of flaunted stripper sexuality and hedonistic pursuits for industry cred!

Cal course [Sl*t 101] on Nicki Minaj (uproxx)

The University of California, Berkeley (berkeley.edu) is set to offer a course on Nicki Minaj during the Spring 2023 semester.

Entitled Nicki Minaj: The Black Barbie Femmecee & Hip Hop Feminisms, the course was announced by a professor in a series of now-protected tweets and was described as a class that “is interested in thinking critically about [Minaj] and [her] productions w/in the context of broader historical-social structures & hip hop feminisms.”

It's provocative filth for kids and parents of all ages. Thanks, VMAs!

The [hyper-sexualized] rapper herself responded to a separate tweet about the course and shared that she’d “love to stop by,” while the professor explained that “having [Minaj's] personal insights would be AMAZING” in class.

The announcement arrives just shortly after Minaj released a selection of new material, including a second remix of Skeng’s “Likkle Miss,” a collab with BLEU entitled “Love in the Way” and her solo single “Super Freaky Girl,” which broke Spotify records and gave Minaj her first solo No. 1. Source

COMMENTARY

Will we be signing up? No, we're going to wait for the Cardi B and Doja Cat classes that are sure to follow. Berkeley has "DeCal" (decal.berkeley.edu) offerings (taught by students with faculty assistance).
