“So, have you seen the little girl singing the Nicki Minaj song? You have to see it, she’s so cute!”
Well, after hearing this for about the hundredth time, I decided to see what all the fuss was about. It didn’t take long to find. The little singer is an eight-year–old British girl named Sophia Grace Browniee and her (crazy parents') video went viral with 11 million views.
By the time I’d seen it, Sophia had already been asked on the “Ellen” show for her fifteen seconds of fame, and that performance included a chance to slut it up on stage in her very own pink hooker wig right next to Nicki Minaj herself!
How can anyone watch this video and see it as harmless?
She is eight–years old!
I’m so confused by this. Why would you ever let your child even listen to “Super Bass,” and worse, listen enough times to learn the lyrics to it! It made me so sad to see a little girl rapping about dudes with big dicks who sell coke an…
What? You mean you didn’t know that’s what the song is about!?
Here are some of the lyrics…
And he ill, he real, he might got a deal
He pop bottles and he got the right kind of build
He cold, he dope, he might sell coke
He always in the air, but he never fly coach
He a motherfucking trip, trip, sailor of the ship, ship
When he make it drip, drip kiss him on the lip, lip
That's the kind of dude I was lookin' for
And yes you'll get slapped if you're lookin' hoe
I said, excuse me you're a hell of a guy…
The second verse is my favorite though…
This one is for the boys in the polos
Entrepreneur niggas in the moguls
He could ball with the crew, he could solo
But I think I like him better when he dolo
And I think I like him better with the fitted cap on
He ain't even gotta try to put the mac on
He just gotta give me that look, when he give me that look
Then the panties comin' off, off, uh…
So now we have an eight-year-old in the national spotlight singing words that would have gotten me kicked out of school when I was a little boy. I’m not even that old! When we were little kids we sang songs about the Presidents and about the State capitals. Sometimes we even sang songs about school buses and animals. I don’t remember singing about panties coming off and coke dealers though.
Am I just getting old? Is that what this is?
I was heartbroken watching the video. Heart broken for the little girl. Her parents were there crying in the audience as she slutted it up with Nicki for all of America to admire. Actually, I guess I would be crying too.
It’s no wonder good relationships are so hard to come by these days. How do you find a good woman to date when most of them have been playing dress up “hooker” since they were eight-years-old? Young women of today have been groomed by television to be “hot” not pretty, “sexy” not classy, and when your little girl's role model is Nicki Minaj… well you fucked up pretty good.
Pop music has always caused a bit of a scene, from the days of Elvis to Madonna, and later on from Britney to Lady Gaga, there were always parents around who felt that the songs were just “too sexy” for their kids. I have to wonder now though, with an entire studio audience smiling and Ellen cheering them on, and eight million views online, are there any real parents left out there?
Every other comment on YouTube was “adorable,” “precious,” “too cute,” “so talented.”
When little girls want to become famous, that’s not really a talent, it’s a disease. Not the same kind that she’ll get from dropping her panties for the coke dealer at the club, but a disease all the same. What are we going to do as a country when ten years from now (Sophia will be eighteen) all of the eighteen-year-old girls want to be “hot,” instead of “smart”?
You have young women hitting the dating scene now who can’t even name a state capital or do simple math, yet they know every lyric, to every single top-forty song? They know who “Snooki” is, but not “Indra Nooyi?” You don’t know who she is either, do you?
Well, you should. She’s a very powerful woman who spends her days changing our world while some mother down in Georgia puts fake eyelashes on her six-year-old. Indra’s parents made her read and write her little ass off when she was small, and while the little American girls were dressing up playing Madonna, she was studying. I’m sure that Indra’s own daughter likes “Super Bass” too; I mean it is a super catchy song! But she won’t be on the Ellen Show performing it anytime soon, because her Mother is a super smart lady and is grooming her daughter to change the world, instead of teaching her how to be sexy.
Something has to change. Imagine if Nicki Minaj wrote songs about complex geno theory? Maybe that little girl would be able to cure cancer.
Instead she is rapping about sex, hoes, clubs and coke.
Maybe I’m a little off base here; after all I don’t have any kids. And at least it wasn’t Keri Hilson's “Turn my Swag on.” It always could be worse I guess.
Shit… I hate being right all the time.

If you watch the ellen video though Nikki MInaj was like I will give you the edited version and put music second and education first. And she kept preaching about how she should only sing the chorus so I think NIkki Minaj saw that too. Yes I agree maybe at 8 she def. shouldnt be singing that song but one day she'll be 13, 15, 18 & she'll stilll listen to that type of music and what could a parent do that, take away her ipod? It is the parents fault when it comes down to it. I let my kids listen to certain music that could be deemed innapropriate I guess but most of the time they dont know what the words are. When I was younger I listened to TLC and listened to waterfalls all the time & never knew what it meant. I used to say Go Go Jason waterfalls instead of dont go chasing waterfalls.
It is harmless. Get over it.
Well I have to say props for Nicki for telling the girls to put education first and music second. And as for the songs, you can't really control what music your child will in-evidently listen to (unless you keep your child locked in the house, with no TV or radio). Our generation had "sexualized" songs too and people also complained about the fact how it was affecting children, etc etc.
I actually do agree with you about how awful a lot of the music out there is now a days. I was appalled when I worked at McDonald's a year or so ago, and the song "birthday sex" was broadcast in the restaurant. People think that kind of thing is appropriate for children now?!
I really don't get parents these days. I also feel that parents should be encouraging their children to be intelligent and classy, as opposed to sexy. Children should not be used as sex objects, but it seems to happen all the time. Don't even get me started on Toddlers and Tiaras!
OMG fucking WAHHHH. Like someone else said, it's harmless. And typically the way you act as a young child doesn't reflect on the way you act as an adult. Not everybody wants to change the world, either. I know I sure as hell don't care if I do or not. I just want to live my life, be happy, and be a good person. If I ever have kids I will teach them to do the same thing, not worry about becoming some genius who will cure cancer.
When you think about it sex, hoes, clubs, and coke are the only things really worth rapping about.
Plus it's pretty apparent civilization's going down the shitter more and more every day. Wake up and smell the toilet already.
I am man, and I have spoken on this issue.
I think it's harmless.
The unedited song is inappropriate for little kids, but I'm pretty sure this is an edited version.
I think you also have a stick up your ass for complaining about this. :I
That video just made me laugh so much! It's a bit inappropriate though, yes. But that's music these days.
Says the guy posting on Lovelyish instead of finding the cure for cancer.
ii TYPED LiiKE THiiS AS A SiiXTH-GRADER, called "Milkshake" my theme song in eighth grade, and guess what? I ended up supporting my family on my own for two years as a freshman and sophomore.
Don't preach if you don't know what you're talking about, ma bruthaaa.
Raunchy songs have been coming out for decades. You get focused on being offended by the songs out today, you forget about the fact that you had songs in your youth that were definitely not appropriate. You claim that you had Barney and pals, but don't forget that kids today have good, clean music, too. There has not been a time in decades when music has not done something shocking or inappropriate to adults. Lighten up.
I think this is grossly over-exaggerated, although you do have somewhat of a point.
I understand where you're coming from, but yeah, I think you're overreacting a bit.
I used to sing The Bad Touch when I was nine and I had no idea what it meant but I really liked the beat. When I sang it in public my mother freaked out and sat me down and explained to me what that song meant - I freaked out. I also remember singing that one song with the lyrics, "Picture this we were both butt naked something something bathroom floor - wasn't me!" and I just thought it was a funny song. So, in her mind, it's just a song. In our minds, it's inappropriate.
She's singing it because she thinks it's a fun song - let her sing.
why is this on datingish? lol
Because an eight year old knows how to slut it up. wow.
Zoomg someone call an exorcist and ship this kid to a nunnery pronto. this is just wrong and every possible way. why hasn't someone put her in a better home yet?????
I think the clothing and whatnot is totally inappropriate. As for the singing of raunchy lyrics... I think when you're young, you don't know what they mean anyway - you just sing because you like the sound of the song. By the time you're old enough to understand what the lyrics truly say, you're old enough to handle it and already know those sorts of things.
I grew up with all sorts of songs in the 80s like "Like A Virgin" (Madonna) & "Push It" (Salt N Peppa). I sang the lyrics and danced around, but I never understood the full lyrics until I was older - and by then, I was fully aware of sexual matters and it wasn't a big deal.
that song is annoying no matter who sings it.
Woah, overreaction much? She doesn't even know what the lyrics mean! She just likes to sing. She's 8. She has no idea what she's singing about.
And how on earth were the little girls acting "sexy"?!? They were in sneakers and little pink ballerina outfits that were mid calf. Yeesh. You'll be that guy who yells, "Get off my lawn!" at kids later in life...
lol Aw, she doesn't know what she's doing. I learned how to dance from watching Soul Train, and I'm not a slut! XD
I don't think it's harmful to the point of scarring a child, but I don't think it's completely harmless either. I have my share of songs that I heard as a kid that I learned later were totally inappropriate ("Too Close" by Next, anyone?), so I can say that kids definitely don't understand a lot of what they hear in music.
However, to actually encourage it is kind of disturbing. A little girl "who likes to sing" could have sung ANY other song. I wouldn't find it cute for any child to be singing a song with inappropriate words. But I'm more disturbed by parents who doll up their daughters by putting them in heavy makeup and fake eyelashes instead of emphasizing more important things.
wait... i'm sorry, weren't sophia and her cousin dressed in outfits similar to the princess get-ups they wore in the original youtube video? i don't see how that's slutty...
as for the rest of this, you, mister OPer, are a serious prude. the song's definitely inappropriate, but they're kids! they haven't a clue what it means. plus, nicki dresses like a giant barbie on speed; what little girl wouldn't be into that?
it's all in good fun. lighten up, mister :D
Oh shut up, the little girl doesn't even know what she's saying. She could be singing about cupcakes and unicorns and it'd be all the same to her.
I saw the Ellen clip and she skips the bad parts anyways, seriously. get over it.
and wearing a full, frilly, pink dress and play wig is "slutting it up"?
Apparently every kindergarten girl is a slut in your eyes then.
YOUR POST SUCKS.
i hate when people take shit so seriously, shes a little girl having fun and loving life. relax.
