Nicki Minaj's music video for new single 'Stupid Hoe' (Watch video below) has been banned from BET for being too explicit.

The shocking music video caused controversy following its release last month, for Nicki firing shots at nemisis Lil Kim but also for cavorting around half-naked and performing sexually suggestive dances.

A rep did not specify to TMZ exactly why the video was banned, but they "simply" said they will not be broadcasting it. Sources at the network told the website that the "ban was put in place because the video's just too explicit for TV."
