Nicki Minaj clarifies Romney lyric, tweets President Obama amidst death threats
In an interview with Orlando pop station Power 953, President Barack Obama was asked about the recent controversy surrounding rapper Nicki Minaj, with regards to whether or not she had endorsed his Republican opponent Mitt Romney.
“I’m not sure that is 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.”
On the latest edition from Lil’ Wayne’s Dedication mixtape series, Dedication 4, Nicki Minaj rapped on the fourth track “Mercy”: “I’m a Republican voting for Mitt Romney, you lazy b*tches are f**king up the economy.”
Minaj received death threats via Twitter. They may not have been legitimate but some people went as far as to request that “someone kill Nicki.” Another tweet read, “If Romney wins, I hope you die @NICKIMINAJ”
On the other hand, rapper Talib Kweli defended Minaj, suggesting that the lyric was not meant to be interpreted literally.
Minaj tweeted a response to the President confirming his assumptions:

Lil Wayne – Mercy Lyrics
[Hook] (x4)
O-O-O-Okay
Lamborghini Mercy
Your chick she so thirsty
I’m in that two seat lambo with your girl
She tryna jerk me
[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]
Drop it the floor make that d**k shake
My home girls slurp it like a milkshake
All you niggas want some Nick cake
If you eat a** I got a thick plate
Weezy, Weezy don’t we do this very easy
I came from Trinidad on a temporary visa
Cause muthaf***ers know I put the hex on b***hes
I f**k a b***h over like I’m sexing b***hes
Tic-tac-toe then I put the X on b***hes
Point game I score who’s next you b***hes
Cause all you niggas fake
And all you niggas broke
So all you niggas f*** you
All you niggas choke
Cause all you do is boast and argue over hoes
So all you niggas toast
Cause all you deep throat word
[Verse 2: Nicki Minaj]
F*** f*** your Lambo
F*** f*** your Merce
I got more money
In in my f***ing purse
Court side you in the C Section
I’m with them bloods you-you with the C Section
In Malibu I’m bout a sea section
And all these b***hes is my sons
Yeah C-Section
I’m a Republican voting for Mitt Romney
You lazy b***hes is f***ing up the economy
Out in Miami I be chilling with a zombie
Diablo alejandro de mello gandhi
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]
I’m the s**t turn your nose up
I threw some bad b***hes on my tour bus
I threw some bad b***hes on my private jet
If them b***hes ain’t f***ing give them parachutes
Walked up to a redbone like I’m the s**t
Told her give me that p***y, and f**k my b***h
Yeah skate rebel gun at my waist level
B***h yellow, tape yellow, give you an H-A-L-O
I don’t do p***y niggas, but get the most p***y nigga
I’m popping purps I’m sipping lean
Smoking pot like cooking dinner
My homie T, roll up my blunt
Skinnier than Rex Ryan
I’m counting money I’m smoking plants
Call that s**t math and science
Now suck d**k, Trukfit
Snapback on your dog a**
These niggas broke like Mr. Glass
They don’t want none, Sister Act
Cause Young Money you b***h you
My weed louder than pimp suits
Your b***h swallow my pimp juice
Her p***y wetter than swim suits
[Verse 4: Lil Wayne]
Swish, Michael
Phelps nigga in your ho
Coupe the color of Yoohoo
Rude boy free Buju
F**k wrong with these f**k niggas
I been balling since 98
F**k y’all I’d rather skate
Shoot you up in your database
I fell in love with drop tops
I fell in love with shotguns
Our guns bigger than cop guns
Y’all ain’t spitting, dry tongue
I like wet p***y, she like hard d**k
Hard head make her soft fast
Tatted up from head to toe
Guess you can call me a marked man
Wayne soaring
All my whores is whoring
All you rappers is boring
Trukfit hat and some Jordans
[Hook]
