And Finally
Obama doesn’t know what’s going on with Nicki Minaj
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 11 September 2012
Barrack Obama doesn’t quite know “what’s going on there” in regard to a couple of lines in Nicki Minaj’s contribution to Lil Wayne’s ‘Dedication 4’ mixtape. So there you go.
The couplet in question – “I’m a Republican, voting for Mitt Romney/You lazy bitches is fuckin up the economy” – was the subject of much debate last week. Was that really an endorsement for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney? Minaj has, as many have pointed out, previously said that she didn’t think the president’s ‘Obamacare’ healthcare reform proposals went far enough, so moving to support the Republicans, who are no fans of making sure that people are healthy regardless of how much money they have, would seem a bit strange. Also, as Gawker points out, she’s seemingly not registered to vote.
But anyway, Obama’s view. Asked if he thought Minaj was supporting Romney on Florida radio station Power 95.3 yesterday, the president said: “I’m not sure that’s actually what happened. I think she had a song on that [Lil Wayne mixtape], a little rap that said that. But she likes to play different characters. So I don’t know what’s going on there”.
So, as I said before, there you go. Obama’s right though, Minaj does have various alter egos, and is prone to bending the truth. On ‘Roman’s Revenge’ she claims to be Aladdin, and I don’t think that’s true either.
