Do You Accept Nicki Minaj's Sort Of Apology For the Nazi Imagery In Her "Only" Video?

It's finger pointing time for #NickiMiNaziGate! Following the controversy over the lyric video for Nicki Minaj's "Only," which borrowed Nazi symbolism and placed the rapper in the same league as Adolf Hitler, Minaj has said that she's sorry if she offended anyone. Sort of. Minaj took to the Internet's preeminent platform for apologies, Twitter, and said, "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."

Here's the video in full in case you missed it the first time around. Warning: It contains very NSFW language.
