One of the major storylines heading out of last night's Democratic Presidential Debate revolved around the brutal attack that Elizabeth Warren launched on Mike Bloomberg, and Nicki Minaj had something to say about it. The moment in question came when Warren referred to Bloomberg as a "billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians." An audible gasp was heard from the crowd after she said that, going on to tear him apart even further. "Democrats are not going to win if we have a nominee with a history of hiding his tax returns, of harassing women, and of supporting racist policies." Nicki Minaj agrees that the Democratic Party will not come out victorious but it's not for the same reason as Warren outlined.
"The democrats will continue to beat up on eachother while y'all laugh & Trump will win again," wrote rapper Nicki Minaj in a since-deleted tweet. "Joke's on who? I respect the Dems that will not jeopardize the party by playing dirty. Obama never did that. Pay attention."
Some artists are afraid to voice their political opinions for fear of getting backlash. At this point, anything Minaj does will be spoken about by her fans and her haters, so she felt like taking a stand was necessary. She previously voiced her support for Hillary Clinton, according to Complex, before stating in an interview that she wished rap music featured "less politics" moving forward.
What do you make of Minaj's statement?
Andrew Yang Drops Out Of Presidential Race, "Yang Gang" Doesn’t Handle News Well
"#YangGang2024" is already trending on Twitter.
The Yang Gang are hanging up their signs as it was announced this evening that Andrew Yang has dropped out of the presidential race. The businessman has run a steady campaign for the 2020 Democratic bid, even amassing support from celebrities including Whoopi Goldberg, Donald Glover, Alexis Ohanian, and Dave Chappelle. Yang became known as the guy who wanted to give Americans $1,000 per month, but it doesn't look like that presidential plan will unfold anytime soon.

According to The Washington Post, Yang decided to pull back following the New Hampshire primary. “I am a numbers guy,” Yang said. “In most of these [upcoming] states, I’m not going to be at a threshold where I get delegates, which makes sticking around not necessarily helpful or productive in terms of furthering the goals of this campaign.” He added that he's open to becoming another candidate's running mate in the future.
“If I become persuaded that there's a particular candidate that gives us a superior chance of beating Donald Trump, and I think it's important to make that opinion known, then I would consider it for sure,” Yang added. Meanwhile, his supporters have been sharing messages throughout multiple social media platforms. Some people have thanked Yang for giving it his best try, while others are pretty much imploding. Check out a few reactions below.
