Update-Nicki Minaj nip slip was seen around the East Coast on Friday morning for much longer that any would imagine. The fast rising rapper found that her left nipple would simply not cooperate as she jumped back and fourth performing to a sold out crowd at GMA concert series.   Nicki’s shocking wardrobe malfunction has forced ABC to issue an apology to it’s viewers.

An ABC News spokesperson told NewsCore,

“Although we had a five-second delay in place for the Nicki Minaj concert on ‘GMA,’ the live East Coast feed of the concert regrettably included certain fleeting images of the performer that were taken out of later feeds of the broadcast in other time zones,”

“We are sorry that this occurred,” the spokesperson added.

The apology wasn’t enough for the Tim Winter, the president of   Parent Television Council (PTC) who stated,

PTC President, Tim Winter, said: “For the umpteenth time in recent memory a morning news show has included inappropriate content for children and families. Instead of asking for forgiveness, they need to stop apologizing and implement the five second delay that so many Americans have been calling for.”

Nicki has remained quiet on the incident, unlike Khloe Kardashian who exposed herself on Fox News earlier this year and applauded her nipple for making an appearance. Should Nicki Minaj also issue an apology for the nip slip?

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
