Nicki Minaj has entered New York’s governor’s race with strong criticism of Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul, prompting a public response just days before the November 3 election.
In an October 28 post on X, Minaj called Hochul an “evil woman” and urged voters to support Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman. The rapper accused the governor of failing to condemn wrongdoing and questioned her leadership.
Hochul responded during a campaign appearance in Albany, suggesting Minaj spend less time online and stop attending President Donald Trump’s rallies, which she said were negatively influencing the rapper’s thinking.
