No doubt progress comes in many forms (and shapes), and "truth is stranger than fiction."

Allowing women to vote one year, Nikki a few years later. Now, talk about progress at the speed of light!

It will be interesting to see her attire. Mariah Carey recently performed there and she covered up.

Minaj should know better based on where she is from. Hope she respects the Kingdom and dresses more appropriately.

If Mariah has ever shown skin it hasn't been in years.

Minaj is still working that angle.

And for the record, I'd nail them both in a heartbeat.

The beauty of her singing is surpassed only by the level of their freedom.

I've got no respect for anyone who respects "the Kingdom."

"It's all part of an economic overhaul under Vision 2030, an effort to reduce the kingdom's reliance on oil. The kingdom is attempting to create economic activity at home and encourage citizens to spend their money within its borders. But there are few entertainment attractions due to its ultraconservatism -- hence, the Jeddah World Fest.

In 2017, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman promised to destroy "extremist ideologies" and create a more moderate kingdom in an effort to "coexist with the world."

Some might say "the beauty" has little to do with the singing...

Obama, Clinton, Bush, and Trump get out the lube and go to town to a poster of "the Kingdom" every night before bed.

How do you feel about those 4?

The same way I feel about why the United States has been "cozy" with Saudi Arabia for a long time now...

Regretable, and in no way any source or cause of "respect" for one of the most oppressive backward countries on the planet!

PS: this thread is about Nicki Minaj and the Saudi's, not U.S. foreign policy. Don't get me started...
