According to some, Minaj has made a very strong feminist point of taking a stand and portraying the beauty and sex appeal of a black plus sized-woman, mocking the skinny look in the selection of obvious portrayals of the power of having a вЂњfat assвЂќ.Дefenders of the song claim that she critics the age-old standards designed to objectify women who were engendered by Mix-a-Lot in his Grammy winning song back in 1992. Some people feel it is a defense for plus-sized girls who have in the past been discriminated in music videos and Hollywood, where they have often been depicted as unsightly unappealing. The video has been criticized and praised almost in equal measures. In another sequence, she is teasing Drake, who is sitting as she gives him a lap dance and engages in several erotic moves on her knees on the floor before him. Minaj has a scene where she is in the kitchen playing suggestively with food, most noticeably bananas and applying cream on her chest in a manner to suggest she is preparing herself for вЂњconsumptionвЂќ. While not all the dancers are remarkably big themselves, they all have sizeable buttock that they gyrate in acrobatic ways. Throughout, there are numerous images for sex glorifying bigger girls. The song tries to justify the sex appeal of plus-sized women. The general idea from the title and chorus is that a personвЂ™s вЂњanacondaвЂќ, which is an indirect subtle representation of a penis, does not want skinny girls. He buys her Alexander McQueen clothes and even lets her sample some of the drugs on sale. It is shown that he fights it out with the cops is funding the singerвЂ™s lifestyle. These lines are not very coherent when one reads them in isolation, but there is a direct suggestion of a man who lives rich and sells drugs. However, there is a recurring image of Nicki Minaj tewrking in a most suggestive way. The video, like many rap songs, does not have a solid plot. The main course for the controversy is that the film is decidedly raunchy, and this has resulted in its opposition by many people who feel it is both immoral and misleading, especially to younger generations.

The video has over a 100 million views on YouTube and they are steadily increasing, especially as international audiences get attracted by the hype and controversy surrounding it. This paper analyzes one of the most popular and controversial music videos today titled вЂAnacondaвЂ™ by Nicki Minaj.
