Here’s what Ilyasah Shabazz’s message to the rap star:

“Ms. Minaj’s artwork for her single does not depict the truth of Malcolm X’s legacy, is completely disrespectful, and in no way is endorsed by my family. It is our family’s hope that the true legacy and context of Malcolm X’s life continues to be shared with people from all walks of life in a positive manner that helps promote the goals and ideals for which Malcolm X so passionately advocated.”

Since the controversy with the single cover ensued, Nicki Minaj has apologized and removed the picture from her social media sites.
