DID RAPPER NICKI MINAJ JUST ENDORSE MITT ROMNEY — ON A MIXTAPE?
News reports are buzzing over a newly-released song in which rapper Nicki Minaj purportedly endorses Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Now, one can’t always take what a rapper is saying — or performing for that matter — literally. But, Minaj’s words, which are overtly favorable of Romney, do cause one to wonder if the edgy performer is, indeed, planning to cast a vote for the candidate.
Minaj’s pseudo-endorsement (if we can even call it that) arrived via “Dedication 4,” fellow rapper Lil Wayne’s most recent mixtape. The line in the song that has sparked intense intrigue goes as follows: “I’m a Republican voting for Mitt Romney/You lazy b**ches is f**king up the economy.“ The lyrics are present in a song called ”Mercy.”
While that’s the extent of the political messaging presented in the song, if it’s sentiments are true, we know three things: Minaj is a Republican, she isn’t voting for President Barack Obama and she has a penchant for hard work. Again, we can’t always take rappers at their word and, like Twitchy admitted, TheBlaze, too, is “new to dealing with Republican ‘endorsements’ that arrive via mixtape.”
