President Obama Responds to Nicki Minaj’s Mitt Romney Endorsement

September 10, 2012 | Filed under: Celebrities,Politics | Posted by:

As for Nicki Minaj — and her apparent endorsement of GOP rival Mitt Romney — Obama, like many of us, can’t quite tell whether the the rapper-provocateur is genuine when she raps: “I’m a Republican voting for Mitt Romney, you lazy bitches is f—ing up the economy.”

“I’m not sure that’s actually what happened,” Obama said Monday during a radio appearance on Orlando’s Power 953. “I think she had a song on there, a little rap that said that. But she likes to play different characters. So I don’t know what’s going on there.”

Later Monday, Minaj offered some insight on her controversial lyric, tweeting: “Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do… *sends love & support*.”

In another tweet, she wrote: “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.”
