Video vixen information

The rapper Nicki Minaj in concert. In her early career, Minaj was often described as a video vixen.^[1]

A video vixen (also referred to as a hip hop honey or video girl^[2]) is a woman who models and appears in hip hop-oriented music videos.^[3]^[4] From the 1990s to the early 2010s, the video vixen image was a staple in popular music, particularly within the genre of hip hop.^[5] The video vixen first came around in the late 1980s when the hip-hop culture began to emerge into its own lifestyle, although was most popular in American popular culture during the 1990s and 2000s.^[6] Many video vixens are aspiring actors, singers, dancers, or professional models.^[7] Artists and vixens have been criticized for allegedly contributing to the social degradation of black women.^[8]^[3]^[9] Latinas are also degraded and hyper-sexualized in hip hop music videos because they are seen as objects of sexual desire in rap music videos.^[10]
