Tuesday afternoon on "The View", Whoopi Goldberg suggested that Nicki Minaj didn't know about The Holocaust, and was ignorant of her accidental depiction of Nazi propaganda in her new video, "Only."
Goldberg blamed the lack of adequate education in the United States, and how kids are not learning enough about the historical events that have shaped our world.
The ladies discussed how she went to La Guardia in New York City, a very reputable high school, but how that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
"Maybe she did it on purpose, because now we're talking about it," Naya Rivera suggested.
After the Internet erupted with retaliation, Minaj publicly apologized on her Twitter account Tuesday.
I didn't come up w/the concept, but I'm very sorry & take full responsibility if it has offended anyone. I'd never condone Nazism in my art.
