Nicki Minaj has baffled some of her fans after deciding to sit down for a conversation with Kevin Samuels, an image consultant turned dating adviser who has become immensely popular on the internet for making controversial comments about women. While on Instagram Live with Samuels, Minaj asked the dating adviser to rate her.

Samuels first clarified that he doesn't typically rate women. Still, he proceeded to analyze the artist's physical attributes. The popular YouTuber started by inquiring about the artist's height. He then asked about her dress size.

Minaj said she stands about 5 feet, 3 inches tall and wears a size 4 dress. When Samuels asked Minaj to rate herself on a scale of 1 to 10, she chose a  7. But the dating adviser rejected her answer.

"It's the default answer for most people because they don't want to go too high, they don't want to go too low," he said. 

Samuels then gave the singer a 9, saying she has facial symmetry and she "gets additional points for eyes."

Samuels has been criticized by several leaders in the Black community and women's rights groups. Advocates have also launched an online petition to remove the dating adviser from YouTube and Instagram.

"With the rise in violence against women, specifically African American women, YouTuber Kevin Samuels has galvanized a community of men of all races and nationalities in the outspoken hatred of women," the petition states. "Removing this voice of divisive vitriol will allow women to feel safer not only in public spaces, but in online communities as well."

According to the advocates, Samuels has abused his freedom of speech rights by creating content that "is loaded with thoughts and threats of violence towards women, manipulation of young women and even fantasies of death to women."

"Acts of violence, sexually predatory behavior and even death has been documented as stemming from rhetoric Mr. Samuels and his community of followers has spewed in just the last 12 months alone," the petition continues. 

According to HITC, the self-proclaimed lifestyle coach produces content with titles such as "Why Can’t Modern Women Handle the Truth?" and "Are Modern Women Really Happy?"

While Samuels' supporters admire the controversial figure for sharing the same type of views they wish to express, others continue their efforts to censor him.

The debate continues after Samuels' encounter with Minaj.

According to Black Excellence, outspoken scholar and psychologist Dr. Umar Johnson is among those who have condemned Samuels.

Johnson said Samuels is profiting from “slandering and criticizing Black women who deviate from what he considers the Eurocentric standards of beauty and success.”
