Under Trump’s rule, she needs to be deported. I do not assume, reportedly, she is a authorized citizen right here. She is undocumented. So, she has proven her disdain for African Americans. Why are you supporting her? Why are you shopping for her document? I’ve a number of buddies who love Nicki Minaj. Why are you supporting this homophobic, bigoted, ignorant girl? You shouldn’t be supporting her. Nicki Minaj is clearly out of her depth. She would not perceive politics. She would not perceive journalism, and I’m not shocked she is weighing in on one thing that’s past her capability.”

Nor does the First Amendment defend your pseudo journalism of disrupting a prayer service,” she wrote, as caught by The New York Post. “You are on discover!”
