Nicki Minaj American Flag Photos Spark Controversy


. (Radio.com) Nicki Minaj and Terry Richardson both made their fair share of headlines in 2014, though for very different reasons: Minaj released one of the biggest albums of the year.

Richardson, meanwhile, grabbed the world's attention as a variety of stories dealing sexually predatory behavior with his subjects began to emerge. He's always been a polarizing figure, but never before had he received such overt criticism.

But the torrent of accusations hasn't slowed his output--take for instance his new spread featuring the Pinkprint star, Complex reports. Minaj wears an American flag t-shirt, a sparkly American flag hat and not much else. She looks aggressive, highly postured and in control. She smiles, she pouts, she bares her teeth. Like any example of peak Minaj, she's many things at once.

The photos, posted on Terry's blog, come from a photo shoot he did recently for Rolling Stone as part of Minaj's Pinkprint rollout. The album hit No. 2 in America upon its release last month.
