To many people, Nicki Minaj is a star. An icon. A queen. But to this mom, she is nothing more than a menace.
Ninenteen-year-old Dominic Licciardi tried to convert his mom into a Nicki fan by playing the song “Only” for her. He took a video of her reaction and shared it on Twitter, where it’s been retweeted thousands of times:
(Being a social media savvy teen, Licciardi also memorialized the moment in a Vine.)
Licciardi told BuzzFeed that his mom was just shocked by the lyrics. In the meantime, she’s also shocked that the video has gotten so much attention online.
“Her reaction to her going viral has been a bunch of ‘oh my’s’ and ‘are you serious’,” Licciardi said.
