Nicki Minaj: rapper, butt-shaker, psychopath, flip-flopper?

Well, the YMCMB lady boss insists her political back-and-forthing is just some kind of artistic, lyrical privilege. She's now claiming that her statement about voting for Mitt Romney was simply the work of one of her "characters," and if you weren't such an idiot, you would have understood that shit, bitch.

Or maybe Nicki could be more creative with her creative license, and stop relying on the crazy cast of characters she's made up to fill a simple feature.

Nicki caught political heat about a week ago with a verse on Lil Wayne's Dedication 4 mixtape, dropping the line: "I'm a Republican, voting for Mitt Romney/You lazy bitches is fuckin' up the economy."

Everyone was flabbergasted that a black, female rapper would choose to support a rich white dude who hates Planned Parenthood, queers of all kinds, and revealing his tax documents.

Although ... Minaj and Mitt got that flip-floppin' in common.

When asked about it in a radio interview, Obama said he didn't think she was being too serious. But the Prez was as confused as the rest of us.

"I'm not sure [the endorsement] actually happened," the President quipped. "I think she had a song -- a little rap that said that -- but she likes to play different characters. I don't what's going on there."

Now Nicki applauds Obama for seeing through her lyrics for what they actually are .... Totally meaningless bullshit.

Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do... *sends love & support* @barackobama

The smart ones always do, but the smarter ones don't rap about silly shit that means nothing to them. But at least you're famous, right ?

Awesome! Now I can tell my grandchildren that the 1st black President of the United States took the time to address a Nicki Minaj question
