Nicki Minaj has taken aim at Sharon Osbourne over remarks the TV star made about the rapper's risque Anaconda single cover.

The hitmaker has accused Sharon of being a hypocrite for praising Kim Kardashian for posing naked for a selfie and then referring to the image of herself sporting just a G-string and sports bra as a "cheap porno cover of a DVD'' during a segment on show The Talk.

Nicki has now taken issue with Sharon's remarks in the latest Marie Claire magazine, stating, "So it wasn't trashy and raunchy when a white woman did it but it was when a black woman did it (sic)?

"When Kim Kardashian's naked picture came out (Sharon) praised it and my fans attacked her for being such a hypocrite... It's quite pathetic and sad but that is my reality and I've gotten accustomed to just shutting it down."

Sharon was so inspired by mother-of-two Kim's naked selfie earlier this year (16), she posted a picture of herself mimicking the shot and tweeted: "@kimkardashian you inspired me!"
