Nicki Minaj Confirms She Is Not Really Voting for Mitt Romney

The Internet was set ablaze last week when rapper Nicki Minaj mentioned GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney on a Lil Wayne mixtape, leading many to believe that she was, in fact, endorsing Romney.
“I’m a Republican voting for Mitt Romney/ You lazy bi*ches are f**king up the economy,” she rapped.
Some of Romney’s supporters boasted that such a famous celebrity was on the Romney/Ryan bandwagon, while others expressed their desire for her to take it back because they didn’t enjoy her music. Well, Minaj herself has clarified and put the issue to bed for good: She is not voting for Romney, she supports President Barack Obama.
Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do… *sends love & support* @barackobama
— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) September 10, 2012
The clarification came after President Barack Obama went on Power 95.3 in Orlando and told listeners that he didn’t think the lyrics amount to an endorsement.
“I’m not sure that’s actually what happened… I think she had a song on there, a little rap that said that… She likes to play different characters,” Obama said. That led Minaj to tweet:
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

Posted on September 10, 2012 at 7:52pmShe’s a dumba$$. Obama said that he didn’t know what she was doing and The Blaze reported it in the manner. “Is she or isn’t she? Don’t know.” Personally, I didn’t care what she thought, but I did assume that she was babbling nonsense. Obama didn’t say he knew it was sarcasm. So apparently I’m smarter than Obama for understanding it as sarcasm according to her. I’ve never heard of her before and will likely forget her soon.

Posted on September 10, 2012 at 8:40pmDr. Mike Savage maintains that Liberals are mentally ill. How can any reasonable person disagree. I have never heard of this women and wish I never had. Who cares who she is voting for? If she really tried to sing she would be laughed off the stage. People prepare your selves, NoBama2013 will be sitting in the W.H. and we will pay for our not fighting to elect someone else. I hear Yahweh has turned His face from us and our once Glorious Republic. It is all down hill from here. There is not a silver lining, no Calvary riding over the horizon to save the day, no last minute reprieve

4. Does anyone really care

Posted on September 10, 2012 at 7:15pmBig deal … I did not expect her to vote for Mitt. If I played Blackjack there is a 4% chance I will win. But when 90% of the black community is going to vote for Obama, why would I believe what she is say. The odds are against me in this. Most blacks will vote for a black person even though that person is a slime ball. They loose their critical thinking when it comes to politics.

Posted on September 10, 2012 at 7:51pmwhat I really didn’t expect was for the idiot president of the united states of america to care if this no talent ****** votes for him or not, he actually adressed this nonsense. what on earth he cannot take the time to be briefed on matters of national security however has plenty of it to deal with this freak of nature?! the entire country should be ashamed our president is such a low life who would even converse with this pig of a woman.

Posted on September 10, 2012 at 10:25pmWhile your sexist comments, I’m sure; are amusing to other members of The Blaze, you are like many others here totally and completely incorrect about this “Briefing” non-issue, which has already been addressed by those around the president. But I suppose you’ll just say it’s a cover so what’s the point, really?
