With two #1 albums and a number of lucrative opportunities to her name, Nicki Minaj has seen both she and her brand placed under the heavy eye of the media’s gaze in recent years, with varying results.
Renown for her layered creative style and celebrated for overcoming a difficult childhood, last week saw her throw herself into contemporary political debate, when she spawned a lyric in support of Presidential candidate Mitt Romney via her gay alter ego Roman Zolanski, here.
Today, Romney’s rival President Obama has weighed in on Minaj’s alleged support of the Republican and the aforementioned ‘Roman’ during a rare radio interview.
Details below…
Speaking to Orlando’s Power 953, he explained:
“I’m not sure that’s actually what happened, 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.”
Hit the 0:40 mark:
Minaj, a former student at New York’s prestigious La Guardia High School of Music & Art, delivered the line in a remix to Kanye West‘s ‘Mercy’ featuring Young Money boss Lil Wayne and is yet to respond to the President’s remarks.
Remarks, which arrive two months before she hopes to land her third US #1 album with a reworked edition of her April 3rd ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘.
HE BASICALLY CALLED HER A CLOWN…….IN OTHER WORDS….
How do you get “clown” from anything he said??? You are stupid as f***. Who IS a clown is rihanna with those 15 unplatinum albums. She is also a clown cuz she had her red nose on after Chris whooped her ass and threw her out the car LMAO THAT’S who the clown is b****!
BECAUSE YOU GOAT P**** F** THAT’S WHAT HE MEANT ABOUT THAT FUNKY C*** B****!! YOU AND YO SAGGY P**** MAMMY NEED TO DEAL B****!!!
WHAT OTHER ARTIST CAN BE THIS LEGENDARY& ICONIC & HAVE THE POTUS TALKING ABOUT HER?? WHO BUT THE QUEEN??? DAMN SURE NOT LIL KIM UGLY ASS!!! DAMN SURE NOT DUSTY ASS RIHOENA!!! NICKI MINAJ >>>
LMFAO #Shade ” i dont think they listen to nicki minaj that much”
……………….. Just google Kelsnetwork ……………..
ITS NOT SHADE, F**** ITS FACTS
THEY NEED TO LISTEN TO THE QUEEN MORE & STOP DISSECTING HER EVERY MOVE
LISTEN TO YOUR PRESIDENT!! QUEEN MINAJ IS YOUR LEADER!!!
s***
LOL! You know it’s something when the Commander-In-Chief talks about you in an interview.
Yeh, it makes Obama look pitiful. People are losing their jobs and homes ; the gun crime in chicago is like a warzone all all this ” president ” can do is talk about a rapper?
JFK, ReAGAN, Clinton, Bush Sr, Bush Jr would never stoop so low. I cannot wait for NOV when American get a REAL AMERICAN president.
Obama is the same guy who parties with kim kardashian; allows jayz and his goons to pose up in the white house and appear on all these chat shows like he is promoting a movie.
Mitt would ghettofy himself like this
But what do u expect from a black president!
I agree wit Kelly. He didn’t respond this quickly when Trevon Martin was shot. A quarter of black America is living in poverty, another quarter are in prison or involved in crime and the rest are being randomly assaulted/killed by police for no reason and walking free whilst Michelle is writing love letters to Beyonce and they are smooching with the American elite. KMT
He shouldn’t answered any question regarding any of these fools. If he was trying to be “down” he shouldn’t have bothered.
Kelly you m***** stop with this b******* and nonsense h** you are just sad and pathetic Obama is a real president. if you have self hatred i suggest you work that out honey you’re just sad and always look so damn crazy when you comment get a f****** grip you probably did this for and attention please get help
you two bummy f*** fail to realize it’s takes time for s*** to get where it needs to be stop being so damn dumb please kill ya self’s and it was bush’s regime that f***** everything up so shut the f*** up with that b*******
Kelly have an O2 arena full of seats, hon. President Obama was probably asked about this comment by a reporter. As far as who f***** up America – Reagan took an axe to the middle class with his reganomic trickle down theory b******* which gave to the wealthy at the expense of the middle class; Clinton further destroyed the middle class by reducing restrictions on businesses who took jobs overseas and deregulating the banking industry which has now almost bankrupted this country; Bush Jr stole an election and got this country into not 1 but 2 wars!! Know all the facts before you speak such nonsense about WHO f***** up this country.
@KELLY…why didn’t yo jackle face momma abort you?
They asked him about her. I doubt he rly cares who she supports. No one cares about the b**** hardly anymore anyway. She’s no gaga or bey.
u care b**** dats why u comment
YESSSSS!! QUEEN S*** >>>

Sorry for you,er self you salty b-tch,just fade away in to obscurity like the rest.
What happened was she didn’t take her meds that day when she rapped that verse so in a result of it she lost her damn mind just proves my point she’s just a joke not to be taking seriously
#DEAD
Even the President know she have a personality disorder…
AANNNDD that she stick. she really does stink
I’m surprised President Obama even knows who she is, she isn’t a house hold name because she’s irrelevant.
I’m sure he knows who she is. He just doesn’t care for her music probably like a lot of ppl these days.
You stupidity is on another level,you seems to get worse everyday.
you the stupid h**. ickie is DONE h**
he knows who she is just like yall hatin ass #beenafan
Wait, Is this another first for Nicki? Is she the first female rapper to ever have a President speak her name? The fact that he knows she has different characters is the highlight of this conversation. And his daughters DO listen to Nicki but not that much. Nicki Minaj has the President Of The United States speaking her name and she’s only been in the game 2 years. WERQ NICKI!!
(staring at this dumb ass comment with alarm) b**** you….you…you just toooo stoopid for words. why are you even here…ON EARTH U B****!!!
Personally I don’t care…if Obama gets re-elected, he’ll become a dictator, and if Romney gets elected, he’ll become a dictator too.
GARY JOHNSON 2012-TRUE hope and TRUE change.
my ass is a dictator and you can kiss it
O…M…F****** GAAAAWDD YOU JUST SLAYED THAT B****!!! #DEAD
He ain’t no lying. Gimmick Minaj is a joke!

NICKI NEEDS NO EXPLANATION!! SHE’S HIPHOPS QUEEN!! PERIOD

LMAO!…i Love Obama, i voted for him.
Are you trying to be a smart ass or?
Did i say something wrong?
@now can’t believe that you voted for a black man some of the posters think that you are “racist” because you don’t like Beyonce.
What sense dose that make just because im not a beyonce fan GET THE F*** OUTTA HERE F*** THEM AND YOU dumb asses
Of course he is a racist. Because he voted for Obama doesn’t mean he is not
President Obama is very smart man and he uses his common sense unlike the other ignorant blacks in this country he knows that Nicki was just rapping a verse that didn’t mean s***. Nicki’s not even registered to vote. All of the idiots that believe she is really voting for Mitt Romney need to seek help immediately. Nicki must be doing something right she getting free publicity from the President of the United States Of America. what do you ignorant whores have?…. Hate?
Could have not said it better he know what it is bou this rap game props to onkiaaaaaaaaaaaaa team minaj watch out cuz kim haters are out like rats roaming around reaching every which way cuz they fave drop a feew lame ass pics n a live concert so they got they head up they ass just keep it moven if u come across a few she’ll be gone tomorrow for several more months unless she done gettn f** by MR PAPERS . so lets not feed that old bird um k
suck a d*** dumb b******
Did you just say that most black people are ignorant? You are delusional.
not most blacks just the ones that actually believe that Nicki was voting for romney. (I’m black btw)
Yes only thing they have is hate,no wonder they are so salty and bitter.
I’m not gonna lie that is pretty BIG I wish this black guy with big ears would talk about kreayshawn so she can get some kind of promo. But hey what can you do
eat yo momma stinky p**** u white b****

Teehehe… President Obama got alot of the haters upset cus he spoke The Queen Nicki’s name. Y’all comments got me cracking da fuq up. Jealousy is a disease and y’all lookin real sick. LMMFAO…
did it make you go wash yo molded p**** h**??!!
Yes Jealousy is killing them.
Obama said lil Wayne name to and birdman made a remark saying (we gonna get in that white house) I remeber he said that on lil Wayne behind the music. Now he talking bout nicki Minaj
You’ve got a lot of nerve for a Dicki Hoeraj worshipper.
5 months gone by and she still hasn’t sold 700k in the US with the new album and you’re really coming for Rihanna’s chart positions? Don’t play yourself w****.
And as for that Fossil Beyonce, I’ll leave the Songwriting Association Of America to handle her fraudulent ass.
I cant with this. you are so on point I am LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Girl, Bye. You can’t come for Beyonce and talk about fraudalent when rihanna has swaggjacked fefe dobson’s hairstyle, been sued by dave chapelle, copied a photographer’s image for you da one and WFL and is pretending to be a thug like 2pac when she is quite the opposite and can hardly sing as well live as her records. Fraudalent? PLZ. And nicki may have sold less but at least she has 2 number #1 albums unlike RiRi. Yall shade is always delayed. TRY AGAIN.
Those Rihtards does crack me up lolol after her boringgggggg lame ass opening for MTV she failed too bring in any type of large numbers for the network BET scored higher than that mess And we all know why the QUEEN was present. That bore of a performer at mtv stole the look from a game and was called out on it she is over at her prime and is already messed up
Dayum!! @prettygirlrock just preached to yo ass like mofo.
@QueenOfTitanic, b**** you sould be worried about Talk That Flop’s failure. That s*** isn’t even 1x Toilet Paper in US. That b**** still is promoting that s*** everywhere and it’s even Platinum. LOL. She thought that people would buy her piece of diarrhea after playing the victim using Chris Brown’s name (AGAIN) on that lame Oprah’s show, but no one cared about it. Did you forget about the big ass failure of VMA? No one watched that s***. Lowest ratings since ever. Over 50% of drop. Where’s Navy (aka Titanic) supporting her? I don’t see it. Flop album, flop singles, massive flop movie debut, epic flop tv show. Bye, girl.
DRAGGED. FINISHED. SLAYED.
DAMNNNNNNN! 🙂
but TTT is plat in the us and 3.2 WW ????
“Dicki Hoeraj ” <—– LMAO, what did you call her? 🙂
SOMETHING STUPID ONLY A FLOP WOULD COME UP WITH… RIHANNA JUST NOW GETTING CERTIFIED AFTER A YR!! NICKI WAS CERTIFIED AFTER 2 MOS
THAT RE-RELEASE GONNA HAVE Y ‘ALL GAGGING…. 🙂
NICKIeleaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Nicki-Minaj-RIAA-nickieleaks.png
DEAD @ all the YT videos of her supposed “best performances”. What point are you trying to make that has ANYTHING to do with the topic. Get off of her f***** c***. All this c*** sucking and the bi-polar b**** has YET to give you morons a interview.
I’m pretty sure he is unbothered by who she supports. He is running a country. And a lot already have his back. He doesn’t have time to sit and analyze stupid rap verses esp from MINAJ let alone listen to it.
HE STILL COMMENTED, UGLY!!! NICKI IS THE QUEEN!! PERIOD!!!
it’s a radio interview, of course he responded to it & he basically said what I say: its rap, its music, freestyling, to make u smurk, laugh, go ooooohhh…that is all, no one knows who she will vote for but her! I love me some nicki & will lose respect if she is serious about it, BUT @ the end of the day it is her choice…OBAMA 2012! hahaha
The shade of it all lmao
Nice.
umm 3rd #1 album? girl bye, you reported that she was rereleasing/reworking pink friday roman reloaded if so then it doesnt count as a new album its a rerelease of an old album if it goes #1 then she still only has two #1 albums. they are doing that to try to get it to sell over 1 million seeing as how it was certified platinum months ago yet hasnt even sold 700k!!! not even 2 million world wide
U MAD EVEN WITH THAT DEVIL WORSHIPPING RIHOENA DO SHE JUSSSSSSSSSSST NOW GETING RECOGNITION FROM THAT YR OLD BARELY PLATINUM ALBUM WITHOUT BEING #1 ??? SUCKING JAY Z D*** CAN ONLY GET U SO FAR!!!

U MAD U STILL BLACK BURNT & UGLY IN THE PISSY SLUMS OF BROOKLYN & CANT BE A GLOBAL MEGASTAR LIKE THE QUEEN?? SHE HERE, F***
U LAZY B****** IS F****** UP THE ECONOMY!!!
TEAMMINAJ >>>
LMAO THE SHADE HE THREW AT NICKI>>>>>>>>
WHAT SHADE, UGLY F*****???
READING IS FUNDAMENTAL… HE SAID U H*** NEED TO LISTEN UP TO THE QUEEN B/C SHE TOPPING ALL YOUR FLOPS!!!
President Obama was doing radio rounds on Pop/Hip Hop stations so you know the DJs were going to ask him the question. They did the same thing when Kanye made that remark about Bush. The President didn’t just bring up this issue.
Also, Nicki, her Barbz and her paid bloggers are taking it way out of proportion. Obama didn’t sound much to pleased about answering it so he just said that maybe she didn’t mean it. But more important, he said HIS CHILDREN DO NOT LISTEN TO NICKI! YEAHHHHHHH!
U STILL HERE UGLY D***?? HOW MANY USERNAMES U GOT??
ONE THING IS FOR SURE.. U LISTEN TO HER!! WITH YOUR 5 KIDS OUT OF WEDLOCK… MAD???
NICKIeleaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Nicki-Minaj-RIAA-nickieleaks.png
CATCH IT!!!!!!!! RE-UP COMING SOON!!
TEAMMINAJ>>> YOUR FLOP IDOL !!!
TOO ALL THE HATERZ, WHO BELIEVE IN THE HYPE OF HER VOTING FOR ROMNEY….. SHE CALLED YA’LL DUMB….. TOOO FUNNY….. Indeed. Nicki confirms on twitter that she was just playin’. “Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do… *sends love & support* @BarackObama”

GO NICKI MINAJ!!!!!!!!
Ha,haters thought they had something,they were milking it in hope of making something otu of nothing,man they are a sad set.
Why would he want to respond to a question about a Nikki Minaj rap verse is beyond me
interesting. Mr. President promoting that barbie. 😀
i dunno what to say?!? 😀
unbelievable that the president of the us talks about things like this… america lol
The only people who will be buying Nicki’s albums are the very young kids whom don’t know anything about the presidency. I’m willing to bet that Nicki wished she kept her big f****** mouth shut. lol It’s no one’s business if your a Republican or a Democrat anyway. Then she puts it in a song. What a fool not just her but the whole YMCMB.
I’m not a kid and Im buying it just like I did her other 2 albums. U bum b****** got egg on yo faces. Thought she was a Republican? Stupid twunts!
Yes you are right James if I was in her shoes I think I would have kept that piece to me myself and I
Why would he talk about nicki? Because he’s human and he listens to music just like you do. Is it any different from when he talked about beyonce or Justin Bieber? NO!! Y’all just sweatin him because nicki is the topic. And ass for the mitt Romney line, here’s a little thing and it’s called sarcasm!! You idiots should try it!!
#ticractoeputtheXonbitches
Nickis next album will flop.
Beyonce was on a sales decline and she flopped. Britney was on a sales decline and she flopped. Madonna was on a sales decline and she flopped. Mariah seems like she may flop aswelll.
Rihanna will take her new Queen grown y’all are pratically handing it to her beautiful ass.
No question Nicki’s album will flop. She f***** up BIG TIME!!!
What did Nicki do?
Omg Obama said Nicki changes characters I cant……..
1) President Obama was being interviewed by Power 95.3 & they ASKED HIM about what Nicki said & he responded. I’m a Nicki fan but to the stans, please don’t think that the POTUS is just talking about Nicki in general. He would neva!
2. Nicki was clearly being sarcastic. As in, she was appropriating what republicans say ABOUT democrats.
At last, someone with an accurate insight into what time it is.
I’m impressed that the Pres responded and is apparently a Nicki fan. It’s clear your take on this is spot on… she was in character and being sarcastic and political at the same time. Nobody does it better than Ms Nicki.
And to those who predict her demise…musically that is, take a break. Nicki Minaj is taking over the world and to make such a statement you must not have seen how the Europeans respond to her. When she travels her audiences spend weeks learning English so they can talk to her during her shows.
Nicki is a real Diva and is absolutely amazing… and she’s the best thing that has happened to rap in a long time.
