As he continues his campaign for the 2012 Presidential election, President Obama phoned into Power 95.3 in Orlando this morning to discuss politics and pop culture. Of course, the controversial line Nicki Minaj recently rapped in her “Mercy” remix with Lil Wayne seemingly endorsing his competition was brought up, but the Pres doesn’t seem fazed by it. What does Barack think about Nicki being “a Republican, voting for Romney. You lazy b*tches is f*ckin’ up the economy”? Find out below. Marisa Mendez
Nicki Minaj Reacts To President Obama’s Comments
Nicki Minaj is one smart cookie. Last week when Wayne’s Dedication 4 mixtape dropped, her song was one of the most talked about tracks on the tape. “I’m a Republican, voting for Romney,” she rapped over G.O.O.D. Music’s “Mercy” beat. “You lazy b*tches are f*ckin’ up the economy.” Twitter fans, rap critics, blog sites and news programs all were dissecting the Queens MC’s lyrics, attempting to decipher if she was in fact now a Republican. One site even went so far as to search if she’s registered to vote in the NY and LA cities she owns homes in (she’s not). One person who DIDN’T comment on it all was Nicki herself. Then today, we actually got a reply from the President! Barack seemed to brush it off and see it for its entertainment value and these words finally got Nicki to speak up…and she’s thrilled.
