President Barack Obama Addresses Nicki Minaj’s Supposed Mitt Romney Endorsement

    On her verse on Lil Wayne’s “Mercy,” Nicki Minaj supposedly endorsed Mitt Romney, rapping, “I’m a Republican, voting for Mitt Romney / You lazy bitches is fuckin’ up the economy.” Now, President Barack Obama has responded to the line supporting his opponent, stating that his daughters Malia and Sasha don’t listen to the Harajuku Barbie very often before sharing his views on the rap.

    “You know, I don’t think they really listen to Nicki Minaj that much. But let’s face it, they are now hipper than me,” he said. “There’s a certain point where your kids get old enough where they’re just hipper than you are, and Michelle and I, for folks of 50 or as she likes to point out close to 50, because she’s not 50 yet, we try to keep up so we’ve got a nice Hip Hop collection on our iPods.”

    Asked directly about the line, the POTUS said that he wasn’t sure “what’s going on there” and chalks it up to her “playing different characters. “Yeah, 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.”

    1. Obama you arnt cool. And you have been a bad President. Romney Ryan 2012 for me. And if Nicki actually believes that..I gained a lot of respect for her

    2. 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.

    3. Is there a reason why she isn’t entitled to her own political opinion? Is there a reason, other than the fact that she’s black, that it is unexceptable for her to think this way? And why is the POTUS answering questions about a line on a mixtape? And why was the answer anything but “she’s entitled to her opinion”

      1. It’s opinion, but uneducated in her way of putting it out at a very high poloitical time. I mean, sh*t, if she could put out an album big upping the KKK on MLK’s birthday, wouldn’t people consider that, despite her opinion, poor in taste and timing? That is all people are saying… She obviously only did it for shock value as well…

      2. Ehhh…I guess. It’s actually NOT different than mine personally, but it is the extreme opposite of the majority of her fanbase. I mean, it’s cool to be her opinion, but at the same time, what is wrong with getting backlash for your opinion if it is one that is controversial? It happens to famous peole all the time! Why should Nicki be any different? She is still making money and still the schizophrenic rapper we all love and cherish…lol

    4. Damn Obama, why even respond to someone so wack?, Nicki Minaj is a international success but a disgraceful role model to young women.

    5. what a fucking joke..romney and obama are two sides of the same coin anyway, they both answer to those who really control the country.

      1. yikes, I guess we have a different definition of excellent. If by excellent you mean she is the worst emcee of all time, then I’d have to say I agree.

    6. Hey Barack… Y dont you talk about all your lies U promised the american people…

      1. Close Gauntanamo Bay— NOPE
      2. End the War n Iraq — NOPE
      3. End the War In Afghanastan — NOPE
      4. Give FREE health care to the people — NOPE
      5. Allow Canadian Prescryptions — NOPE
      6. End the War on Pot — NOPE

      1. get in a car crash dumbass. every bill obama passes the republicians in the house shoot it down.
        take your head out your moms pussy

      2. haha thank you anonymous… the president has no control over making the laws get passed. he proposes them to congress, and givin that congress is mostly republican no laws get passed. blame congress you ignorant son of a bitch. mitt romney isnt gunna do shit either. so dont go voting for mitt.

      3. U guys are sooo EFFING ignorant… is that ALL YOU do is watch TV, OBAMA had the house and congress for 2 YEARS NIGGA!!

        2 YEARS… he didnt get shit done… u dnt need congress to close Gautanamo Bay… its called executive orders…

        SHEEPLE

      4. Hey ignorant negro’s who NEVER have read a book…. funny thing is Mitt Romney and Obama work for the same people.

        FUNNY how you niggas dont try to argue the fact that OBAMA created a police state, has drones flying over our fucking houses, and yet you still try to defend the dude, Y because YOU THINK hes a black man like us????

        OBAMA was brought into this world (KENYA) by a white women. The NWO would never let a REAL BLACK MAN in!!!!!

        WAKE UP

    7. It would have been really cool if he didn’t give a shit about what a rap artist said and focused on more important issues at hand. Fuck outta here

      1. wha’s the difference between going to a pizza parlor an commenting on rap like he did the other day ,,on anotha note i think nicki cool ,,but while she admitting shit ,, tell the world how she had to let wayne an baby bless her in by suckin em up

      2. I gurentee he didn’t just go in there talking about Nicki’s sorry ass. They asked a question and he answered it. uck out of here

    8. If anyone has a problem with the Lupe Fiasco “American Terrorist 2” comments section, go to the “Contact Us” page > “New User Feedback Page” > “Recent activity” and vote for the problem.

      It’s not a big deal, it’s just the principle. Appreciated.

      1. Anti-middle class? Boy, you know not what you speak. Get out and do something with your life, immigrant!! SMDH

      2. last time i checked Obama was definition of middle class…??

        Romney is knee deep in Private Equity and Mormon Cult Money

    9. Only thing Mitt is going to do is start World War 3 by taking a harder stance on Iran. If you know whats best for you America then you’ll keep Obama, your all much safer with him then the other.

      1. are you on LSD or what? obama has the same foreign policy you dumb fuck , he said he will stop the wars and he didn’t do shit , that’s why usa is in the shitter because people like you

      2. If you think Obama’s foreign policy is the same as Mitt Romney’s then you’re too fucking ignorant to speak about foreign policy.

      3. you stupid little fucks, he ended the war in iraq, all the troops are home. what the fuck are you talking about! Obama will do anything possible to stop a war because he knows the cost of another war would bring this country to it’s knees finacially…. how the fuck do you think the economy was so fucken bad, it took millions of dollars per day to operate in iraq. know something before you run your dick suckas biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch

    10. and our nation is still fucked up why? bc instead of asking about real issues the interviewer wants to talk about some stupid bitch and entertainment shit. why does obama give a shit if she likes mitt? hes too busy concerning himself with being cool and what the celebs are saying than helping the nation and its citizens are saying. and his daughters are ugly as fuck. and b4 ya’ll try to run your stupid mouths about shit you know nothing about, FUCK MITT ROMNEY TOO!!!

      1. I’m going to assume that this is only a portion of the interview. Besides, why can’t the interviewers have a little fun with our President? If they wanna ask him about a line in a rap pertaining to him, the more than have the right to do so. And what’s with the unnecessary shot at his daughters?

    11. I pretty much hate both of them but when Obama responds to hiphop verse is when i really start to worry…wtf worr about more important shit you fucking idiot

    12. Obama seems to know how to laugh off things pretty well. He may promise more than he can deliver, but he’s closer to change than Romney ever will. Romney just wants to pick up where Bush left off, and totally fuck our country.

    13. Im sure the only reason he responded to her lyric is because due to the new generation looking up to the wrong people as role models, Some people look and listen up to her and their decision good be swayed into whatever is said by her without any logic to why they are going to make that choice other than “because nicki(or any other celebrity) said so”……he is trying to reach a demographic that is controlled by pop culture and him responding to something in pop culture will get to that demographic and it will get them aware and hopefully involved in voting to get him another term.

    14. So this man can comment on Nicki Minaj but nothing on Chicago’s murder rate? Oh. I support the President, but come on son!

      1. How is commenting on the murder rate in Chicago going to help Chicago? What do you want him to say? “Oh, that’s unfortunate”?

      2. How is commenting on Nicki Minaj’s comment doing anything? If there’s a mini war going on anywhere INSIDE of America, nigga you GOTTA say SOMETHING…

      3. I mean was that the setting? What city is this radio station in? Does he need to talk about everything everywhere? Didnt they ask him the question. Aint like he unprovokingly brought it up

      4. He was asked a specific question. Youre sounding really ignorant. If the radio host would have asked about Chicago he would have his opinion on the matter.

      5. nigga – how they gona ask that on pop radio – in the morning???

        Obama is real – he would of answered it if they asked….

    15. Did anyone else catch the shot fired? you semi endorse Romney and “You know, I don’t think they really listen to Nicki Minaj that much. But let’s face it, they are now hipper than me,” He endorses you as a has been….Obama FTW

    16. yo, you all young peep don’t know what do you talk about but my old job is government build when you don’t know government are a lie and beyond before they cheat math to cut your bounce money that’s greedy you don’t know .

    17. For those who say why Obama is addressing the Nicki comment, one must consider that he was just asking a question that the radio D.J was asking him. Its a hip hop station so what else would they ask to be honest. So its not like he brought the subject up out of the blue. Also, who cares who she votes for. Shes not even a registered voter and one you know she isn’t serious about it, because the candidate in questions goes against 80% of her base fan core values.

      1. thank u!

        I would add – where is there rest of the clip??? He prolly goes on to say that he aint really there to talk about that etc

      2. why the fuck his he doing an interview on a hip hop radio show in the first place? it has NOTHING to do with politics

      1. Clearly one can be better than the other asshole… its called thinking.

        You might as well as said – APATHY IS ONLY WAY TO GET THINGS DONE

        To which we’d all reply- FUCK OFF

    18. I dont see the big deal even if she was voting for Romney, I dont agree with it but we have something in america called “Freedom of Choice” to vote for who we want. People acting all mad like she raped a child or summin, ya’ll on some Nazi shit. People can vote for who they want, its not in a rappers contract that they have to vote democrat

      1. haha right! That’s such an everyman statement “you guys are fucking up the economy.” Had she known anything she’d be able to cite that unemployment has been steadily decreasing over his tenure.

    19. What the fuck is wrong with this country? Ever since Obama became president, he has been addressing shit irrelevant rappers say. Something is very wrong here. There is no fucking way he should have the time to even listen to a Nicki Minaj song, let alone fucking talk about it.

      1. Um he is a multitasker who knows what he was doing while being interviewed. This is the same guy who conducted a press dinner telling jokes and KILLING OSAMA BIN LADEN!!

      2. Don’t you realize the bigger picture that I’m addressing? This president is more of a fucking celebrity than a president. Stupid half-wit. “A multi-tasker” lmao you’re a joke.

      3. yall are all dumb. he is campaigning!!! do any of you know what that consists of? yes going on radio shows, chruches, resturautnts, local neighborhoods, yes they do that sometimes and dude has to have a life, I mean apart of the reason he became president was the fact that he was “just like us” and they asked him a question. so he answered it. I dont get the confusion behind that hahaha. lames

    20. And on top of it, he doesn’t address any artists that have a spec of intelligence. Say something to Lupe Obama. Say something to Dead prez. Fuck you.

      1. haha ask lupe? yall be ridin that dude hard. that nigga is average and he isnt even that intelligent dog. have you heard him speak about politics. Dude embarrassed himself when he said obama was a terrorist and bill o’reilly had him on the show. I dont even care that he said it, I just wanted to hear some intelligent reasoning behind it. he had nothing just “stuff” like this or that. dude is smart enough to fool yall simple minded dudes who dont know shit or dont do research…smarten up. I’ll give you dead prez, and immortal is a dude who I know understands politics and what he is talking about.

      2. Lupe will shit a port-a-potty on your illiterate face. Is obama not a terrorist? Did he not pass the NDAA bill which allows them to detain you without due process? For you dumb fucks like the sheep above me, that means you don’t get a trial by jury. They can detain you because they SUSPECT you are a terrorist. What does that mean in laymen’s terms? IF you try to be a revolutionary and rebel, they will just throw you in jail. Fuck outta here. BTW I am the original poster of this comment. One.

      3. Oh, and please read a book called 1984 by George Orwell. If you have heard the term “Big Brother is watching”… that’s where it comes from. It’ll open your eyes you sheep.

      1. hmmm maybe because they asked him haha. its not like he had some state of the union speech on every television responding to what she said. he is campaining like most presidents or candidates do at this time and they asked him a question

    21. Yo yall need to pipe down. He’s talking about it because they asked him. I’m sure if they asked him about Lupe Fiasco, he’d address that as well. It ain’t like he’s talking about Nicki Minaj in his speeches. And even if he was, its a superior political tactic to appear as if you can relate to the youth culture. All you internet pundits just want something to be mad about. STFU.

    22. yo fuck anybody that got a problem with the commander in chief. straight up. im tired of all these fuckin haters cus no matter who’s in office yall gonna hate and blame ya problems on another man.

    23. WAYNE IS MULTITALENTED DUDE, HE SHOULD GO AND GET IN LES MISERABLES BROADWAY CAST, HE WOULD IMPROVE THE MUSICAL SCENE A LOT, BECAUSE HE TOUCHED EVERYTHING IN HIP HOP, POP, JAZZ, METAL, TECHNO, PUNK, DUBSTEP AND ROCK, ONLY THING REMAINING ARE THE MUSICALS (AND OPERA). EVEN IN SKATEBOARDING HE IS THE NEW TONY HAWK.

      REBIRTH WAS THE BEST ROCK RECORD EVER RELEASED (AT THE SAME TIME THE WORST WAYNE ALBUM BUT STILL GREAT) SHOWING THAT WEEZY IS MORE THAN JUST A RAPPER. IT SHITS ON WHOLE AC/DC, QUEEN, GUNS N ROSES AND SEX PISTOLS DISCOGRAPHIES.

      DEDICATION 4 MIXTAPE IS AN ANOTHER INSANT CLASSIC FROM WEEZY, LYRICALY ON THE SAME LEVEL AS ILLMATIC, I HOPE HE’LL MAKE CARTER V, IT WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST RECORDS EVER.

      1. we dont have brain to think with right.

        you internet marketers decide whether or not a album is good or poor haha

        this is just have dumb we have gotten.

        this world makes me want to throw up

    24. have we become retard as a society nobody is stand up for anything or saying shit and bullshit has now become the headline story hahah.

      i think i have to give up on media it pissing me off.

      if i dont i will be dumb enough to believe bin laden was buried out to sea.

      bunch of hopeless dumb idiots doomed

    25. I like how he was quick to say that his daughters don’t listen to Nicki Minaj. But I bet if she went out of her way to support him he would say not only does his daughters listen to her, but that he does too. Politics as usual. As for me I don’t know yet. They both suck in my opinion.

      1. Too right. I deplore her music. Its an insult to the legacy of female rap- MC Lyte, Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill? Remember them? No, probably because this lady has elbowed her way in, and ripped everything off them. Except lyrical ability.

    26. Love for Obama. Keeping it real as always, and always has a witty comment somewhere. Actually, he is quite hip for a 50 year old.
      He’s right, Nicki Minaj is probably playing around, but she shouldn’t have used the word motherfucker.
      But mostly, good for Obama. Hope he is reelected.

    27. I doubt Nicki Minaj is smart enough to use ‘humour’ where politics is concerned, but hey, oh well. The Pres. has got more important things to attend to.

    28. The fact that the President even takes time out of his day to not only analyze and comment, but also listen to the song, exemplifies exactly why he should never be allowed in the White House again. He fooled us once, so shame on him. But if he fools you twice, SHAME ON YOU.

      1. You sound stupid. Do you listen to music when you study or are at work? You take time out of your “busy day” to comment DON’T YOU? SHAME ON YOU!

        Now go vote for Romney so they can tell you how you should go see a doctor, ask your parents for that college money, and work in the coal mines digging “clean coal” for minimum wage. Idiot.

    29. Is obama not a terrorist? Did he not pass the NDAA bill which allows them to detain you without due process? For you dumb fucks like the sheep above me, that means you don’t get a trial by jury. They can detain you because they SUSPECT you are a terrorist. What does that mean in laymen’s terms? IF you try to be a revolutionary and rebel, they will just throw you in jail
      ++++++++++++

    31. Nicki was mocking republicans. she was saying that republicans are lazy and they dont want to pay taxes so they vote for a president who will give them that 6 figure relief. and for hiphopdx. get your fucking facts straight before you make a post. dumbasses.

    32. ohh & btw.. for the people who didnt get that. she supports obama, she believes in national healthcare. and she pays her taxes!
