Nicki Minaj's Anaconda Video Gets Mixed Reactions From Teens; One Says 'I Should've Brought Holy Water Today'

The power of Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" video to capture attention is undeniable, with over a hundred and ninety one million hits on YouTube.

This time, the new episode of The Fine Brothers production "Teens React To" put the spotlight on Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" video and the reactions ranged from funny to profound.

When the video started, seventeen-year-old Ethan was quick to recall what he and his friends thought of it when they first saw it, saying their only reaction was "Whaaaaat?"

"I have no idea what to think about this," said nineteen-year-old Tom.

Kaelyn, a seventeen-year-old also said "Ever since this video came out, the world has been changed, like, this is all anyone talks about."

Most of them mentioned that the song was catchy but their perspective quickly shifted when the part where Minaj gave Drake a lap dance appeared. One said "Some people had the Rolling Stones and The Beatles; we have "Anaconda" and Nicki Minaj."

A girl was not able to contain her emotion upon seeing an abundance of behinds in the video and quipped: "I should have brought holy water today!"

The teens were then asked what they thought of the video in general and one teen said "I think it's portraying women in, like, a really sexist way."

They were later asked to read some of the lyrics of the song and one teen shared how "It'd be nice if they were this clever with a positive message."

"[Minaj is] putting herself out there to expose herself the way she wants to, and she's expressing herself. But at the same time, she's not, because she's over-sexualized and she's objectified," said one teen when asked if she agreed that the video was meant to empower women.

Apart from the reactions given by the teens to Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" video, many parodies were made, including a fart remix of the song. Ellen Degeneres has also rode on the popularity of the video and made her spoof version.

The "Teens React To" episode about Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" video was posted on September 21 and has since garnered over 2 million views.
