Nicki Minaj Calls NY Gov. Kathy Hochul ‘Evil Woman’ Who ‘Will Not Escape God’s Wrath’ — See Hochul’s Response
Charlamagne tha God and The Breakfast Club also weighed in.
Nicki Minaj ignited controversy by labeling New York Governor Kathy Hochul an "evil woman" and warning that she "will not escape God's wrath" in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) on October 28. The rapper justified her harsh words by criticizing Hochul's handling of a 2024 comment regarding Black children in the Bronx lacking knowledge of the word "computer."
While Hochul later apologized for the remark, Minaj accused her of ignoring the harm caused to innocent people and using her political position to support those she deemed "vile and wicked." The rapper's post also addressed Hochul's recent apology for the 2024 comment, accusing her of being "silent on harm being caused to the innocent" and "keeping horrible company."
Minaj's comments come amid her efforts to support Donald Trump in this year's midterm elections, including rallying for Republican candidates and appearing at Trump's rally in Michigan. Governor Hochul responded by suggesting Minaj should "stop going to Trump rallies" as she believes they are "poisoning her mind." The criticism of Minaj's stance is not new; she has faced backlash this past year for aligning herself with Trump, and her latest comments are seen as an extension of that criticism.
