Before I go any further, I have nothing against Nicki Minaj, her music or anything else and this is just a question. I also do not agree with cancel culture where a person has been accused of something, but no further action has been taken.
Source: Nicki Minaj and husband Kenneth Petty sued by sex assault victim
Nicki Minaj is apparently married to and has a child with a convicted attempted rapist, Keith Petty. The victim was a teenager at the time. It appears that Minaj and members of her entourage have been contacting the victim, who has launched a lawsuit. Minaj is alleged to have offered the victim £500,000 in order for her to take back her allegations of the assault. These are allegations which have been already been "validated" in court, as Petty was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison. In my eyes this counts as both shielding and defending Petty, and potentially condoning his actions.
Can someone just answer a simple question as to why there hasn't been a campaign to "cancel" her?
Given that people have received the same treatment for a lot less, even childish tweets, surely this counts as one of the more serious allegations that justifies it. If you go with the "leopard can't change it's spots" mindest, Minaj's fan base consists mainly of teenage girls, and Petty's position as her husband would grant him access to them. Minaj is condoning his crime, attempting to stifle any talk of it, and now allegedly harassing the victim, all of which should surely give the cancel brigade a lot of ammunition.
There's been no talk of sponsors jumping ship, her record label has remained silent, and her fan base doesn't seem too concerned.
So what marks her out to be treated any differently? Granted, she hasn't committed the crimes herself, but she's doing a Tammy (as corrected by krish) and standing by her man, effectively condoning his actions.
