    Inside the new issue of "Rolling Stone," due out on newsstands this Friday, Jan. 2, Nicki Minaj speaks out for the first time about the role of black artists in relation to recent events regarding police violence and racial tension. Cutting straight to the core issues surrounding Eric Garner's tragic death, Minaj said that, "It's gotten to the point where people feel like there's no accountability.

Minaj also reflects on the silence from other celebrities, such as Kanye West specifically, who received media backlash for discussing racism in the past. She referenced West's comments in 2005 during A Concert for Hurricane Relief. "People say, 'Why aren't black celebrities speaking out more?' But look what happened to Kanye when he spoke out.
