American rapper-model Nicki Minaj recently uploaded a picture of her in a blonde wig and captioned it: Do blondes have more fun?

While most of her fans appreciated her look, there were some who felt the actor looked better with black hair.

Instagram user tak_nie.tak said, 'I prefer you in dark colour @nickiminaj please don't change it'

Minaj's mother also took to social media to vote for her black hair look.

To which the 34 year-old replied: 'Mom, you are not included in the voting process.'

At the end of the long trail of votes, Minaj concluded: 'I asked if blondes have more fun, somebody commented: blondes have more fun recording an album now GO SIS! I'm tired of being bullied.'
