8. Nicki Minaj
One of the biggest rappers of the last several years, Nicki was called “the most influential female rapper of all time” by an editor for The New York Times. The winner of awards handed out by BET, MTV, Billboard and the recipient of six American Music Awards, it is safe to say that Nicki has earned the respect of critics far and wide. Branching out into television with her role as an American Idol judge, she has also appeared in movies like The Other Woman and Barbershop: The Next Cut, as well as lending her voice to Ice Age: Continental Drift.
Creating an unapologetically sexual image that has been backed up again and again by her scandalous music videos, Nicki certainly doesn’t seem to be concerned about offending people. Compared to Satan by Mariah Carey, a fellow American Idol judge, it isn’t just her fellow pop stars that associate her with the dark lord. Performing as a part of the 2012 Grammy telecast, many were profoundly offending by the symbolism present, including sex slaves and a priest. Called out by anMTV article as going into “full exorcism mode for her bizarre and creepy performance” the segment had some viewers calling foul and proclaiming she was in league with Satan.
6. Jimmy Page
Jimmy Page, guitarist and founder of the band Led Zepplin and a member of The Yardbirds is one of the most respected rock stars of all time. Ranked by Gibson as the second best Guitarist of all time and recognized by Rolling Stone as the third best, to name just two of the lists his skills have been acclaimed by, he has had a hand in creating marvellous music. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a part of both of his big bands, any attempt to list his accolades seems likely to be an unending effort.
We’ve already mentioned Aleister Crowley, the famed British Occultist whose image Nick Jonas wore and thought that may have been a mistake Jimmy’s feelings towards the man are entirely concrete. Seen as obsessed with Crowley, Jimmy is known as a collector of his memorabilia, even going so far as to buying and restoring his home. Additionally, his most famous work, alongside his bandmates in Led Zepplin has been the subject of Satanist urban legends for years which have inspired some more religious observers to ban their music from their homes.
