@.thedailyroom: Nicki Minaj’s recent political pivot is still shaking up social media, and now the conversation has officially made its way to daytime television. During the latest episode of The View, co-host Sunny Hostin didn’t hold back while reacting to Nicki’s new TIME interview, where the rap megastar opened up about how she went from quietly supporting Donald Trump to publicly embracing the MAGA movement. _________________________________________________ In the interview, Nicki admitted she had been feeling aligned with Trump’s politics for a while, but was scared to publicly say it because, according to her, the music industry pushes Democratic views heavily. “I felt that way already about him, just that I didn’t dare act like that publicly,” she told TIME while explaining why she stayed quiet for years. _______________________________________________ Nicki also claimed her frustrations with Democratic politicians, especially after she said California Governor Gavin Newsom ignored her concerns following multiple swatting incidents at her home, played a huge role in her finally stepping into MAGA territory publicly. But over on The View, Sunny Hostin suggested there could be more behind the switch than politics alone. While discussing Nicki’s interview, Hostin brought up the rapper’s family controversies and questioned whether personal motivations may be involved. _______________________________________________ 📸: Getty Images / via: theviewabc
