TMZ reports a rep for BET would not specifically comment on why the video was being banned but that they would simply not being broadcasting it. It is believed that the visual was to explicit for the network.
In the video, Minaj can be seen rolling around in her cage, practicing tongue tricks and reciting her suggestive [and awful] lyrics. The chorus of the song goes as follows: “You [sic] a stupid hoe. You a, you a stupid hoe.”
The video has been viewed nearly 21 million times on Vevo and broke the record for number of views in a 24-hour period with 4.8 million views. Unfortunately for Nicki, “Stupid Hoe” is also reaching the 300,000 “dislike” mark on YouTube.
