Earlier this week, Nicki Minaj shared an emotional Instagram post about the success of the NWA-inspired film, "Straight Outta Compton." Although the "Anaconda" songstress wished to express her humble pride, several fans were actually furious with her "backward thinking" attitude. Do MstarsNews readers agree?

Minaj's message has already garnered more than 14,200 comments and counting:

nickiminaj: "When black/HipHop driven movies start doing these numbers at the box office EVERYONE takes notice! Unheard of!!! 50-60 million dollar debuts are just another level. Very proud. Congrats to ALL involved. Our movies should always do these numbers. It only opens doors for more! And they're more than deserving of it. BarberShop3 at the top of next year then a big surprise... love."

Members of #TeamBarbz are now at cyber war:

almighty.ali: "stfu... You don't represent the real hip hop/rap at all. You're just a girl with a fake body and your songs have no content except for sex. Shame on u. Hip hop/rap is dying cuz of u. The real rappers were Tupac, Biggie and all those guys. Not u and ur boy Weak Mill."

csthereal: "'ours'... Lmao... Good one for racial relationships... Lets just split the world down the middle black and white... Lmao.. Only Americans say sh*t lil this."

tonybarbary: "Why you gotta say 'Ours' for? Movies just as much mine as it is yours or anyone else's. Imagine we all spoke like you did."

el__jefe707: "She said 'our movies' b*tch u from the east coast gtfoh."

Wow, that's quite a backlash! More followers are beginning to stick-up for the "Starships" superstar saying that her words are clearly misinterpreted. Basically to sum things up:

_xn0: "So Nicki pridefully acknowledges black excellence & non black people are screaming racism. Lmfao classic."

Minaj has yet to respond to such heatedly mixed reactions. Sound-off in the comments section below.
