LIL’ WAYNE: “Skip, they wouldn’t want to ask me that… they wouldn’t want my answer to represent them because God knows I have been nothing but blessed. These 33 years have been nothing but a blessing. I have never — and never is a strong word — never dealt with racism.”

Pop singer Nicki Minaj was quoted over the weekend, on rapper Lil Wayne’s latest mixtape:
“I’m a Republican voting for Mitt Romney/You lazy bitches is fucking up the economy.”
Reaction on Twitter from some of her fans was swift and in some cases brutal.
Nicki was born in Trinidad and came to the U.S. as a little girl. She knows from her family just how hard it is in Trinidad and the opportunity she has been afforded here that she never would have gotten in Trinidad. Her fans, mainly all use to our system, doesn’t understand her idea of political parties that fits better with immigrants.
Nicki Minaj, aka Onika Tanya Maraj, was born on December 8, 1982 in Saint James, Trinadad and Tobago. She moved to the US when she was five years old.
Here are lyrics from one of her songs:
Hopped out the boat I am such an immigrant. Why he get Nicki Minaj tatted on his ligament
Wait,just for the second get wetter than fishermen pull up with some 26’s up in Michelins you know I pop-pop-pop it like pistol
That’s why I keep my wrist looking like like a disco. And everywhere I go they tell me that I’m pretty! My money slow My money stupid…Money ditsy! Mommy you bad but Nicki is badder..step ya’ cookies up,go get you a ladder
We do it early like cheerios and a bagel. I feel freer then the slaves on the railroad
