“I’m a Republican, voting for Mitt Romney / You lazy bitches is f*ckin’ up the economy,” Nicki Minaj rhymes on Lil’ Wayne’s “Dedication 4” track, “Mercy.”
That rhyme raised a few eyebrows. But during an interview with Orlando, Florida radio station, Power 95.3, this morning, President Barack Obama addressed the soon-to-be American Idol judge’s comments. He isn’t convinced that Nicki meant the rap literally.
“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,” Obama said.
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”
