If Nicki Minaj decides to quit music one day, she should try her hand at PR and marketing as her photo on Instagram sent Crocs' sales through the roof and even crashed the company's website after it was flooded with orders. According to PageSix, sales of Crocs' clogs jumped 4,900 percent after Minaj posted an image on her social media with a one-word caption: "Friday".
The photo showed the rapper covering her naked body with two fluffy heart-shaped pillows and wearing pink Crocs adorned with jewelry.

Despite many people accusing Crocs of having a clumsy design, the company's clogs are extremely popular among celebrities. Justin Bieber, Post Malone, and Bad Bunny have collaborated with the company in recent years, while famous drummer and producer Questlove wore Crocs at the recent Academy Awards.
Obsessed with the fact that Questlove wore Crocs to the Oscars. A true fashion icon. We don’t deserve Questlove. pic.twitter.com/KZaeE0hsk8
