Ban this, but not That?

I’m really confused by BET and Viacom’s recent banning of the Nicki Minaj song, Stupid Hoe. Now I’m not a fan of rap and really hate things that put down women. But what I don’t like is why this song is banned. They claim it to be too explicit. However, over the years men have been able to put much more explicit videos on the air.

Check out Nicki’s Video:

I don’t really care for the song, but I didn’t see anything much more explicit than you see in men’s rap videos. I did think I was going to have a seizure with all the flashing, but because of the quick flashes you weren’t really given a chance to see her ass.


This video, all seven minutes of it, features tons of scantily clad women, simulated sex acts and women with no clothes that had to be blurred out.
So after watching these videos, is it sexist that Viacom bans Nicki Minaj, but they fully supported Tip Drill and even produced the Ludacris video “Pussy Poppin”?
