Ilyasah Shabazz on Nicki Minaj's Malcolm X Cover: She Didn't Know Better

The legend of Malcolm X lives on through his daughter Ilyasah Shabazz. She sits down with Vladtv to speak about her thoughts on Nicki Minaj using a photo of her father holding a gun on the cover of her "Looking A**" single cover. The image got the artist some backlash from fans. The picture was taken from a legendary pose with Malcolm X protecting his family after their home was firebombed. Ilyasah speaks about Malcolm X and other black leaders being put against each other throughout history. For example how Martin Luther King Jr vs Malcolm X during the Civil Rights Movement. She explained that her family is actually close with the Kings, and Ilyasah added that she thought Coretta Scott King was her biological aunt when she was growing up.
