I'm Not Surprised with Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj has turned into MAGA Barbie and I am not surprised since I had never been a fan of Nicki, I did liked her music, and I never really liked Nicki since the 2010s.

Video I found on Tiktok
Transcript below if you’d like to read along while it plays. ”I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016 and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic, morally vacant, and psychologically mangled he is. I don't wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. He wasn't a candidate. He was a mirror.
