QUICK READ Nicki Minaj’s nude snap ‘causes website to crash’
NICKI Minaj’s nearly nude snap in a pair of custom hot pink Crocs reportedly caused a 4900% spike in sales of the footwear.
The 38-year-old rapper posed with just two fluffy heart pillows covering her modesty and a pair of bedazzled Crocs, featuring Chanel’s iconic double-c logo.
And, according to Page Six Style, fans were clamouring after the website went down after the striking snap was shared.
It’s not yet known if the Super
Bass hitmaker is working with
Crocs on a campaign. However, she wouldn’t be the first musician to team up with the brand, with the likes of Justin Bieber and Post Malone releasing their own Crocs collections.
The latter recently donated 10000 pairs of his sold-out Duet Max Clog II Crocs to front-line workers at 70 US hospitals.
The Better Now hitmaker teamed up with the Musicians on Call initiative – a non-profit organisation which “brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities” across the country – to provide the hospital staff with the popular shoe in appreciation of the sacrifices they are making every day to care for their patients amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Musicians on Call president and CEO Pete Griffin said in a statement: “The stress of the pandemic on staff in all areas of the hospital has been unrelenting and we have been doing what we can to continue bringing them the joy of live music.”
He also gave every student at his old Texas Grapevine High School a pair of the custom Crocs.
