We all thought Nicki Minaj was anti-Obama. She even got a couple of death threats due to a rap verse that suggests that she was(“I’m a Republican, voting for Mitt Romney, you lazy b*tches is f*cking up the economy”) but as it turns out, Nicki is actually an Obama supporter.
In a response to Nicki Minaj’s rap verse, President Obama told 95.3 in Orlando, Florida on monday morning, “She likes to play different characters, so I don’t know what’s going on there.”
Tweets from Nicki Minaj’s TL confirms her support for Barack Obama. Here are some of the tweets.
“@NICKIMINAJ: Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do… *sends love & support* @BarackObama”
“@BIGGEST_BARB: if thats not winning, idk WHAT is. having the PRESIDENT tell bitches what your verse means. wow.”
“@NICKIMINAJ: Awesome! Now I can tell my grandchildren that the 1st black President of the United States took the time to address a Nicki Minaj question”
“@Melony_Minaj: Yass Likee… RT @BeezWithOnika: Forget The Q&A For A Sec..President Barack Obama Spoke About Onika Tanya Maraj.”
We are obviously wrong about our judgment of her rap. But Nicki seems content as those words did what Nicki intended and she’s happy about it.

It doesn’t hurt an artist to test a bit of a madness but we should always try to understand the writer or the singer intention in any given circumstances.
