Nicki Minaj Takes a Dig at Melania
“A smart man knows he needs a certain ‘kind’ of woman when running for president.”

Nicki Minaj had some choice words for Donald Trump at Saturday night’s Tidal X 1015 concert in Brooklyn – namely that he could have done better than Melania if he wants to conquer the world. Teasing male audience members about being “intimidated” by a “queen,” Minaj pointed out that the strongest male leaders have strong women. “Barack needed a Michelle,” she said, “and Bill needed a motherf—king Hillary.” But “you better pray to God you don’t get stuck with a motherf—king Melania." Minaj later clarified on Twitter that she didn’t have anything against Melania, who “seems nice,” “but a smart man knows he needs a certain ‘kind’ of woman when running for President/attempting greatness.”
Wasn't "dragging". She seems nice. But a smart man knows he needs a certain "kind" of woman when running for President/attempting greatness https://t.co/S2PTIcOXuo
