Nicki Minaj, ‘Mercy’ – Controversial Songs

Folks thought Nicki Minaj had flipped her lid when she rapped, "I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney / You lazy bitches is f---ing up the economy" on Lil Wayne's 'Mercy' track, off his 'Dedication 4' mixtape.

Obama was campaigning for the 2012 presidential election at the time and was asked about his thoughts on the lyrics during an interview on Power 95.3.

"She likes to play different characters. So I don't know what's going on there," said Obama.

Minaj laughed it off in the end. "Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do... *sends love & support* @BarackObama," she wrote.
