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.”
It woulda been cool had he not responded
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
Just kiddin lol. Fuck Mitt Romney, Nicki and myself!!
good one buddy. Go vote for Obama again like a retard..If you’re even old enough to vote.
Obama should put out a diss track
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.
lolwut?
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”
is she black? or Caribbean
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…
Timing? Is irrelevant, she has an opinion and you dont like the fact that its different to yours.
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
romney wants to cut taxes for the rich and screw over the poor and middle classes. wake up fools!
so get rich!
^Love it.
wheres yo mills at nigga?!
Damn Obama, why even respond to someone so wack?, Nicki Minaj is a international success but a disgraceful role model to young women.
he doesn’t have to fucking respond to her DAFUQ , fuck obama and fuck romney
and you.
/\ AND YOU!
I can’t believe The President responded to her. Wow.
Dear HHDX. Do yall have to call Nicki “Harajuku Barbie” EVERY SINGLE TIME you do a story on her?
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.
Yup, and people still don’t get it. Divide & conquer.
Nope, people don’t get it. Divide & Conquer.
She is an excellent rapper ,horrible singer and she doesn`t know what the fuck she is talkin about !!
FALSE
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.
I was hoping for a reply over the “Takeover” beat, Obama.
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

You’re correct. But Mitt Romney would be an unmitigated disaster.
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
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
wow – that list is crazy.
Where did fact check this, Disney?
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
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
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
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.
well thought out – hilarious.
really,
LMAO!
Fuck this immigrant, anti middle class clown, and fuck romney too they both can suck a bunch of fat ones
Fuck you too bitch ass nigga.
Anti-middle class? Boy, you know not what you speak. Get out and do something with your life, immigrant!! SMDH
YES ANTI MIDDLE CLASS dummy!!
I agree with with the original comment….FUCK the BOTH OF THEM.
last time i checked obama is all for the middle class
last time i checked Obama was definition of middle class…??
Romney is knee deep in Private Equity and Mormon Cult Money
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.
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
TRUTH!! these coolaid drinkers
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.
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
but what
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!!!
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?
its pop radio morning show… not Piers Morgan… wtf??
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
He was just answering a question he was asked…
Nibiru is in the motherfucking sky and you guys are worried about an election
lol @ that planet x shit
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.
amen
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.
So this man can comment on Nicki Minaj but nothing on Chicago’s murder rate? Oh. I support the President, but come on son!
How is commenting on the murder rate in Chicago going to help Chicago? What do you want him to say? “Oh, that’s unfortunate”?
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…
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
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.
nigga – how they gona ask that on pop radio – in the morning???
Obama is real – he would of answered it if they asked….
wow your mom balls heard obama dodged a murder rate question???
Post the link or shut up.
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
LOL
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 .
FUCK THIS HAFT BREED…BASICALLY THE COUNTRY IS RUNNING IT’S SELF.
“haft-breed”….i really wish you’re entry could have typed itself…..
My fellow Americans. I’ve left this post today to let you all know. Fuck Nicki Minaj.
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.
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
he was just answering a question that the radio D.J was asking him *fixed
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
That bitch career was already busted, that shit about to be in shambles!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA AND ROMNEY AND FAMILY SO STFU AND STOP SAYIN THAT ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER
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
*NOAM CHOMSKY
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
nicki minaj who, ia a asshole !!!! and about to be a thing of the pass
Nicki Minaj did this for attention. Do you think she really cares about the election?
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.
obama knows whats up. its just a line
Damn, Obama dissed her with class. “We try to keep a GOOD collection of hip hop.” CLASSIC.
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.
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!!
You the truth bruh. Preach on.
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.
a multitasker… lol are you fucking serious? some seriously annoyingly dumb people here
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
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.
Thank you!
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.
CHURCH!
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.
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.
why are all these people in power addressing rappers quotes ????????????????????????????????
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
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.
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.
Obama just pulled a Jedi-mind trick on Nicki. Woooow! Has her back-peddling on a rhyme WE KNOW she meant.
Damn, have Obama ever heard of Ice Cube’s Death Certificate album? I would love to see him talking about that record
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.
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
Wow. These trolls are becoming dumber every day. They’re starting to run out of material.
Obama, his ape wife, MInaj…. all actors.
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
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.
Where the fuk is Baraka Flaka Flames at when you need him! Douse this ‘stupid hoe’ nigga.
WTF??? O_o LMAO!!!! XD
LMAO YES
I wish that dumb bitch would just disappear. I mean seriously, no talent bitch
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.
Because she has NO LYRICAL ABILITY!!! Its all ABC children rap.
he didnt wanna ask about that Lupe line though?
because lupe isnt a moron and probably knows a fair amount about politics
the president is always talking about the young money squad quit hating on wayne and everyone else
That’s because they are shit. The President evidently has taste in music if he doesn’t like Cash Money.
Obama played it off nicely lol. Well at least he’s not the first prez to end up in a beef with a rapper.
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.
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.
Mitt Romney’s campaign song will be “Starships”
Actually its confirmed to be “Pound The Alarm”
No, it’s gonna be “Stupid Ho”
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.
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.
Yo Obama, ever heard of “Death Certificate”???
Hahahaha nice. Great album.
LOL! People still vote..?
the president of the united states shouldn’t even be addressing something as insignificant as rap music. smh
GEORGE BUSH SR ADDRESSED RAP
CLINTON ADDRESSED RAP 2X
DID U SAY SOMETHING THEN HO?
like seriously if nicki minaj took the time to rap over beats at lets say http://www.yucbeats.com and aid all that no one would care lol
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
++++++++++++
NO HE DIDN’T PASS THE BILL HE EXTENDED AN ALREADY IN EFFECT BILL WITH AMENDMENTS WITH HIS SIGNATURE

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