Countering the “petty and childish” opposition to the “very authentic” president, Nicki Minaj delivered a very specific sales pitch for voters to get involved leading up to Election Day.

Beyond the groupthink of the left, the award-winning entertainer — born Onika Tanya Maraj in Trinidad and Tobago — has been quite vocal since coming forward with her support of President Donald Trump. Having melted snowflakes with a Turning Point USA appearance and a contribution to Trump Accounts, Minaj recently sat down for a Fox News interview with a get-out-the-vote message to “vote red now.”

During an extensive sit-down with the president’s daughter-in-law on her program, “My View with Lara Trump,” the rapper was asked what message she would give to young voters given the “volatile” climate.

“Now is not the time to think that your voice will not be heard,” began Minaj. “Your voice will not only be heard, but your voice is very necessary right now for the country and for the world. We need you guys involved. We need you guys involved more than ever before. This is your country, this is your world. You are the ones that have to reap the benefits of whatever vote decisions we make now.”

“Think about how much you want a say in what happens and realize that the only way to have that is by voting — not just voting for the president, but just voting in all of the local elections,” she furthered.

Along with that, the enthusiastic supporter of the president encouraged people to do their own research and concluded they “take advantage of that ability that you guys have, to be able to vote, please, and vote red now.”

Late last month, Minaj was announced as one of the celebrities involved with a new “Shark Tank”-style competition being conducted by the Small Business Administration where entrepreneurs would pitch ideas to get a cut of a $1 million prize pool.

Meanwhile, given the outright hate directed at Trump from Hollywood and other elitist circles, she took a swing at the left, saying, “I think the Democrats have gotten way too caught up in pop culture, for lack of a better term.”

“I think that they’ve allowed their relationships with artists to cause them to act like children and to be so petty and childish,” added Minaj, who, amid slams against Democrats for treating black voters as “not allowed to think … not allowed to voice concerns, to make an argument as to why we don’t like a particular candidate,” contrasted that by describing the president as “a very authentic person.”

Suggesting some outspoken detractors only pretend they don’t like him, the rapper added, “He brings this candid, unedited vibe to the White House that we’ve never before seen. And it’s refreshing because for a very long time, people started feeling like we don’t know who we can trust.”

“When you see someone that goes off script, it’s like you come alive again; you feel alive,” she expressed while asserting, “I’ve made it my mission to be someone that supports him.”

During the interview, Minaj suggested she might do more to help get-out-the-vote close to November 3.
