War iconography is striking and easily recognizable, and serves as a powerful medium for artists. However, not all iconography is acceptable to change, as Nikki Minaj’s video suggests. The video was heavily criticized for its Nazi imagery, and according to the above article, Minaj’s imagery choices are different but insensitive.
