Nicki Minaj slammed for Westminster scenes in new video

Apr 20, 2017

Nicki Minaj is facing major criticism from fans over scenes filmed on Westminster Bridge in her new music video, No Frauds.

The video which also stars Drake and Lil Wayne, was released on Wednesday – less than a month after the Westminster terror attacks took place.

Yesterday we honored King #AlexanderMcQueen in London. Headpiece: Demode Jewelry Dress, BOOTS (my new fave thing of all time) and accessories by #AlexanderMcQueen #LongLiveTheKING

The scenes were shot on March 20, just one day before the attacks took place.

The Sun reported last month that the clips would be dropped from the final cut after a source close to the singer said Nicki felt it would be inappropriate to release the footage.

''The other London scenes will remain, but it's highly doubtful the bridge footage will make the cut,'' the source told the newspaper.

Nicki previously reached out to the victims of the attack and offered her condolences to their families.

May God protect everyone in London. Hate hearing this sad news. Sending my condolences to the victims' families.

However, fans where shocked to see the inclusion of the footage in the final video, leaving some Twitter users asking was it too soon?
