Did Nicki Minaj Endorse Mitt Romney?

            

Pop singer and rapper Nicki Minaj appears on the newest mixtape from her labelmate Lil' Wayne and declares that she's down with Team Romney.

Onika Tanya Maraj is a Trinidadian born entertainer grew up in Queens, New York. She rose to prominence as a recording artist who signed to Cash Money Records under Lil' Wayne's Young Money Entertainment label. Her debut Pink Friday released in 2010 was the comeback album of a music industry suffering in declining album sales. Her album went on to sell over 1.45 million copies declaring it platinum.

The second album Pink Friday 2: Roman Reloaded was released this year and features more pop friendly singles as well as her gruff street credibility. They recently certified her follow up album platinum.

Now I'm waiting for Sean Hannity to book her on his radio show or television program.

SOHH and Redding News Service reports that Nicki Minaj has raised a few eyebrows courtesy of her "Mercy" Dedication 4 verse off Lil Wayne's new mixtape as she claims she will vote for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney this November.

The verse:

"I got more money , in in my f*cking purse /Court side, you in the C Section," she raps, "I'm with them bloods you you with the C Section /In Malibu I'm bout a sea section /And all these b*tches is my sons, yeah C-Section /I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney/You lazy b*tches is f*cking up the economy /Out in Miami I be chilling with a zombie /Diablo Alejandro de Mello Gandhi"

The New York Daily News says that some fans have suggested the line, first reported by the website Rape Dose, is sarcastic and that Minaj would actually cast her ballot for President Obama. The 27-year-old Queens-raised entertainer has criticized Obama recently, tweeting at him in June about failures of the health-care system. However, in 2009, she seemed quite enamored of the Commander-in-chief, rapping "Michelle, I got my eye on Barack Obama." Adding further intrigue, some observers have noted that on "Mercy," Minaj is rapping over beats produced by ardent President Barack Obama supporter Kanye West.

Lil' Wayne and Nicki Minaj

In regards to the hip-hop community, the pop princess has a right to support a candidate by whom she pleases. It's not going to affect the endorsements from Jay-Z, Beyonce and even Kanye West endorsement of Barack Obama for president. President Barack Obama called Kanye West a jackass after he jumped on the stage at the MTV Music Awards upstaging pop singer and country music star Taylor Swift.

But on the issue of the endorsement, how is the hip hop community taking it?

Lupe Fiasco is not a fan of the president. Texas rap legend Scarface is a registered Republican. So what?

They're entitled to not support the president. Does it make them any less talented?

I mean does Hollywood, Broadway, hip-hop, R & B, your favorite sports star and entertainer always have to support President Barack Obama?

Don't get me wrong, I don't care for Hank Williams, Jr., Ted Nugent, Victoria Jackson, Jon Voight, Jon Lovitz, Clinton Eastwood, Patricia Heaton and Kelesy Grammar.

Clinton Eastwood is a famous movie actor and director. Best known for his famous quote "Go ahead. Make my day!" Eastwood has directed Million Dollar Baby, won an Oscar. Patricia Heaton is the star of The Middle. Her rise to fame came from Everybody Love Raymond. Kelsey Grammar is best known as Dr. Frasier Crane from Cheers and its popular spin-off Fraiser. He also voiced villainous Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons. He's on the Starz program Boss with featured players such as rapper/reality star Clifford "T.I." Harris.

They're are registered Republicans and they're very successful. The rest of them mentioned are washed up celebrities.

The Dedication compilations are mixtape features created by Atlanta based producer DJ Drama and it features Lil' Wayne and members of his Cash Money/Young Money crew rapping freestyles on memorable beats.
