I work in the music business, and it's often the same story: a chaotic upbringing, but with some religion involved, not a lot of education, but musical talent. In adulthood, they end up swinging back to religion and to what they perceive to be stable authority figures as a counterbalance to the chaos of their childhoods. I could make a very long list of musicians who fit this template.
Or: Believing Republican policies to be better for their personal wealth. It's similar to boomers who love liberal policies when they are the recipients, then vote to deny those same policies for their children.
I wonder if Minaj or Kirk have seen their dear leader's tanking poll numbers or underperformances in special elections.
Nicki Minaj has an estimated net worth of $150 million, so I doubt she has to worry too much about her personal wealth.
If you look at her biography, however, you see both parents being gospel singers, father with alcohol/drug problems, brought up by her grandmother, fired from a bunch of jobs . . .
In the rap/hip-hop world, you run into a lot of bizarre juxtapositions of people who use very explicit sexual language, but, on the other hand, embrace culturally conservative religious ideas. It's something that was inculcated in them at an early age, and it tends to reappear, especially after the party lifestyle has started to lose its appeal.
It’s actually not a surprise. She’s desperate for relevance. I’ve watched her career and from the start she came in as very arrogant. She refused to pay homage to female pioneers of hip hop but expects the younger girls to kiss her ass. She’s always in a feud with another female artist, again seeking relevance. And the truth is her time has come and gone. Instead of retiring quietly, she thinks MAGA will boost relevance and sales.
You are spot on. I could not imagine Nicki recording "Let Foxy Down" (the same way J. Cole did "Let Nas Down").
Name a Nicki verse that is sharper than [Foxy on "Affirmative Action(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc4qpjITXsw&t=2m27s), quick! Since the heyday of Young Money, as a '90s kid I've always considered Nicki more pop music because I'd been fortunate enough to have educated myself with Junior MAFIA and The Firm in the years prior.
She’s definitely Pop, not hip hop. And the main reason she found early success was because she didn’t have much competition at the time. Lil Kim, Foxy, Missy, Eve were all either finishing their careers or slowing down when Nicki came on the scene so she had the spotlight to herself. She really didn’t have sustained competition until Cardi, then came Meghan, Latto, Glorilla, etc. and it’s painfully obvious that she’s jealous and trying to gatekeep. She sucks. There’s all the pedo support as well 🤮 so it makes sense she’s team MAGA.
She is having her token moment and hopefully the cult members will keep he in their thoughts and prayers because she is more irrelevant now than she was before.
Well she loves pedophiles and hates vaccines so this checks out.

Maybe, but she has a pedophile brother and boyfriend. I think this is more about gaining future considerations for them from the Pedophile in Chief.
Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Add it to the stack, I guess. Pardon me . . . . no, seriously pardon me!

Deport her
