I knew I felt a certain way about a certain Nicki Minaj for some reason.
Anyway, the (latest) beef that Nicki's got with the current government is over heath care and the limited access some people have to it. Nicki took to her Twitter earlier this year to express her dissatisfaction with the nation's current policy, and how it affected her on a personal level when a friend died because of lack of care:
"Yvette Wilson passed away from cancer tonight. God Bless her. (( Whats sad is that when Yvette was bringing home the bacon, the gov't was probably taking millions. On her death bed tho, #Nowheretobefound. That should be a God given right! Even with Obama Care, too much involved. Just give FREE health care to all. @barackobama What can we do? @BarackObama I wouldn't mind the millions they took if it was going to healthcare. Why should a poor person struggle to pay for MEDS sir"
And she's got a point. Especially the part where she talks about the government getting their piece, but leaving the sick girl high and dry when she needed care. But Nicki must be ill-advised, because Romney, as far as I'm aware, would never have anything to do with universal (let alone "free") health care. Hell, Mitt Romney probably doesn't even know who Nicki Minaj is, for crying out loud. But I'm sure he's just thrilled that there's someone else out there voting for him before even knowing what they're talking about.
Funny thing is, Nicki isn't even registered to vote. From Hip Hop Wired:
If Nicki Minaj makes the decision to endorse Mitt Romney in the forthcoming election, she may want to take care of something first: registering to vote. Minaj was flooded with media clips Tuesday (Sept. 4) when a snippet from her lyrics on Lil Wayne's Dedication 4 mixtape revealed that she is a Republican and voting for Romney. The line may have been blown out of proportion but in an age when personal information is just a Google search away, the 29-year-old was quickly exposed for her voting past, or lack thereof. As it turns out, in the three states where she's lived, Minaj is not registered to vote. Having resided in Georgia, New York and California the Young Money Barbie never seemed to find the time to fill out and mail in a registration card, or do it online.
Ugh. She's such a joke, you know? />

Ooh! Classy!
Don't know if you guys follow Nicki on Twitter, but it's, like, my job to, so when I got a nudge from one of our followers that Nicki went nuclear on a bunch of people calling BS on her "medical issues," I immediately thought, "Well, there goes American Idol."
From Nicki's Twitter, a condensed rant about fans and whores and consuming feces and then passing away (presumably from consuming said feces, but it could have been from the part where she told people to go kill thems...
Nicki Minaj hasn't officially signed on to be the newest judge on American Idol, mind you, but it's apparently not that far off. Everyone, including People, is reporting that she's in negotiations to join on for next season. And I ... well, I'm not sure how I feel about that. It seems sort of odd because Nicki is still relatively new to the game, she doesn't need to revive her career like Jennifer Lopez or Steven Tyler or Mariah Carey or essentially anyone else who has ever been a judge on Ame...
From Hollywood Rag:
Nicki Minaj demanded the grass outside her dressing room at T in the Park be cut shorter.
The 'Starships' hitmaker refused to walk around her private area at the Scottish music festival last weekend because the lawn had not been trimmed sufficiently and insisted someone tackle the greenery before she would step outside.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Nicki went mad about the grass around her area, saying it was far too long for her to walk on.
"She threw a comple...
For a while there, I thought that Nicki Minaj was pretty ok. Her music doesn't really appeal to me, but remember that time that she made friends with Susan Boyle? And remember that time that she showed up on Ellen's show to surprise those two little girls who sang "Super Bass" and told them to stay in school? Those were really sweet moments, and I can still appreciate them for what they're worth.
But anymore, you guys, Nicki Minaj can just go suck an egg.
It all started last week when Nicki ...
"She kissed me but I didn’t kiss her. I wasn’t expecting it and I was shocked. I was shaking, thinking, ‘Is this really happening, why is she doing this?'"
Nicki Minaj on the "famous" Super Bowl kiss from Madonna that I didn't even realize was happening because I was too wrapped up in the general suckitude that was Madonna's Super Bowl performance this last time around.
Nicki appeared on the Graham Norton show, where she was asked how she felt about Madonna slithering up to her and laying one on her when she leas...
Seriously, comparing these two ladies would be like comparing Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera: where do people even come up with this stuff?! Every single singer is unique and special and - just like a snowflake! - no two of them are even remotely alike.
Especially Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga. I've been mulling it over for a while now, and I can't think of a single reason why anyone would compare the two of them. Where are the similarities, I ask you!
Oh, and Nicki would like to know as well:
"Of...
"What are you, a lawyer?"
…is my third-favorite line from Rushmore, and I love saying it to people. If I ever said it to Nicki Minaj, though, she would probably punch me because, two things:
1) Nicki Minaj is not a lawyer.
2) Nicki Minaj totally wanted to be a lawyer.
In this month's Vogue, my favorite space alien is all greened-up like a Star Trek character, and she is freaking hot, OK.
And then there is this quote:
A huge part of me wanted to be a lawyer! I would do a really...

Specifically, Lil' Kim is still talking about it. That shouldn't be surprising since Lil' Kim holds a bit of a grudge against Nicki Minaj and Nicki isn't too fond of Lil' Kim either. Another reason why it shouldn't come as a surprise is because lots of people are getting their panties in a wad over Nicki's "The Exorcism of Roman." But it's always fun to talk about some ladies being snippy, and I figured this is as good a way as any to kick off the evening, so let's g...
And no, I'm not talking about her performance at the Grammys, I'm talking about Nicki Minaj, the person. Is Nicki Minaj possessed? Because some people are legitimately wondering if she is or not. And by "some people," I mean the Catholic League:
Nicki Minaj, fresh off looking like a fool with Madonna at the Super Bowl, showed up last night on the red carpet at the Grammys with a guy dressed like the pope. This was just a prelude of what was to come.
Minaj’s performance began on stage with a mock co...

Guess we're on a controversial highway to hell here this afternoon, guys. Remember how I said that Nicki Minaj did this weird Catholic-possession-themed performance later on in the evening last night? She did. And here it is in full effect.
What I want to know, though, is why people actually like this girl. Rather, her performances and her music. She could be a delightful lady, I don't know. I don't really care. The only thing that I can focus on is the weird faces, the painful p...
Wouldn't it be great if you and I could devise our own riders, so that the stuff we love to death would follow us practically wherever we go? Grocery store shopping: sure, but I gotta have my rider. The obligatory in-law visit. OK: but the rider's contents better be in place when I get there. Nicki Minaj - who would strike me as the Mariah Carey-type and want sequined couches and animal-print throw rugs and imported-from-India incense or whatever all over the place - has a rider that's actuall...
