In November 2014, Minaj released a lyric video containing [[Nazi]]-style imagery for her third single "[[Only (Nicki Minaj song)|Only]]". There was immediate backlash from the [[Anti Defamation League]], who stated that it was "troubling that no one among Minaj's group of producers, publicists and managers raised a red flag about the use of such imagery before ushering the video into public release." They called the video "insensitive to Holocaust survivors and a trivialization of the history of that era."<ref>Drakeford, Cortney.
