Nicki Minaj Roasted For Her 'Pathetic' Fox News Message To Young Voters

Rapper Nicki Minaj appeared on Fox News' “My View with Lara Trump” urging young viewers to research candidates and vote in local elections, before capping the segment with “vote red” and laughter. Minaj, born in Trinidad and Tobago, is not a U.S. citizen and cannot legally vote in American elections.

Online critics quickly pointed out the contradiction, along with the observation that young voters, conservative or otherwise, aren't a large Fox News audience. Some commenters speculated the appearance was aimed at currying favor for a presidential pardon for Minaj's brother, Jelani Maraj, though he was convicted on state charges in New York and is therefore outside presidential pardon power entirely.
