Kemi Badenoch responds to Nicki Minaj’s praise and comparison to Margaret Thatcher: “It was very flattering to hear Nicki Minaj compare me to Margaret Thatcher, who is a heroine of mine and, in fact, a heroine to all Conservatives. I do like her song ‘Starships’; I’ve been dancing to it for a long time, as have my children. So it’s very flattering that even in the US, people can see who is holding Labour to account. It’s the Conservatives. It is me…” Nicki Minaj’s influence continuing to reach political spaces across the globe just shows how impactful and culturally dominant she has remained for over a decade. Few artists command this level of recognition beyond music.👑
