On Monday night Nicki Minaj returned to Los Angeles after hosting the 2014 MTV European Music Awards in Glasgow, Scotland, and the outspoken rapper was feeling a bit shy when she breezed through the Tom Bradley International terminal. And the new man on her arm? According to reports he's Alex Loucas, and not only are the two dating, but he worked on her controversial new lyric video for "Only."
As you may know, Nicki received some harsh criticism for the vid from the Anti-Defamation League, who slammed her for allegedly using Nazi imagery in the clip. The organization said in a statement, "Nicki Minaj‘s new video disturbingly evokes Third Reich propaganda and constitutes a new low for pop culture’s exploitation of Nazi symbolism. The irony should be lost on no one that this video debuted on the 76th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 'night of broken glass' pogrom that signaled the beginning of the Final Solution and the Holocaust."
Nicki replied early this morning and tweeted:
When asked about being criticized for Nazi-themed imagery in the video, Nicki mouthed off to photographers last night at the airport, but we're still not sure if she's joking about dating Mr. Loucas. "This is my new Jewish boyfriend, why the f*** would I do that," she exclaimed before hopping in her car. "We did this together."

Nicki replied early this morning and tweeted:
- The artist who made the lyric video for “Only” was influenced by a cartoon on Cartoon Network called "Metalocalypse" & Sin City. Both the producer, & person in charge of over seeing the lyric video (one of my best friends & videographer: A. Loucas), happen to be Jewish. I didn't come up w/the concept, but I'm very sorry & take full responsibility if it has offended anyone. I'd never condone Nazism in my art.
