If you thought the music video for "Anaconda" was shocking, wait until you catch a glimpse of Nicki Minaj's latest YouTube upload.

The US rapper has come under fire after transforming herself into a dictator in the lyric video for her new single "Only".

Minaj is shown leading a powerful army in the black and white clip, where the only colour comes from a seemingly Nazi-inspired arm band.

Thousands of soldiers, armed with tanks and guns, are seen wearing "YM" insignia to represent Minaj's record company Young Money.

Viewers began pointing out similarities with Nazi imagery within moments of the video being uploaded to YouTube.

Some argued that Minaj's position as the dictator went so far as to glorify Nazism while others point out that rapper Drake, who features on the track, is reportedly half-Jewish.

Minaj and the video's director Jeff Osbourne also present buildings draped in swastika-style "YM" banners, gasmasks and exploding bombs.

Aside from the offensive Nazi references, the lyrics overlaying the video are obscene, explicit and derogatory to women, sparking further controversy.

Minaj hosted the MTV European Music Awards in Glasgow on Sunday night but despite heavy criticism, has yet to comment on reactions to her video.
