Barbs down bad right now.
Looking at Nicki's twitter feed right now is sad. She's retweeting everyone of note who is defending her, without the self-awareness that she's retweeting a bunch of right-wing opportunists and hoteps.
But then I realize...oh, wait, she knows this. Because on some level, Nicki Minaj has always been like this. All validation is good validation; integrity be damned. I expect, I fully expect, to see Nicki either call into Tucker Carlson, have a sit-down interview with Piers Morgan. go to dinner with Candace Owens (maskless, of course), or all of the above. Because all she cares about is the fawning, unquestioning validation of every move she makes.
It's the Kanye West playbook.
