@Hayman30: The screenshot of the video serves as an illustration for the music video section, especially for synopsis section, and I didn't invent that, as you can find screenshots of videos in many featured articles about songs (4 Minutes for example). We're talking about a "mermaid look" that made headlines of articles and that was severely critisized by another rapper, so it would be very helpful to add a picture of it.

@Lichtt: What was shown in the screenshot collage requires no illustration, we all know what Minaj, Grande or a mermaid looks like. Having three screenshots is heavily stretching our non-free content criteria, they currently only serves a decorative purpose. "Other stuff exists" is not a valid argument here and it does not justify your unnecessary addition of excessive non-free screenshots.

Maybe the two other pictures are "decorative" but I'm still convinced that the mermaid adds something to the article for the previously cited reasons. It would not be difficult to cut the two pictures. Lichtt (talk) 14:57, 7 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Lichtt: Uh, just because Banks criticized the mermaid look and gossip outlets made headlines about it doesn't mean we must include a non-free screenshot. It may be helpful to have images that exhibit a side-by-side comparison of the two artists in their respective mermaid looks. Images are here to increase the readers' understanding of the topic after all, they're not here to fill blank spaces or make the article look more jam-packed.
