Nicki Minaj’s Republican line from Dedication 4‘s “Mercy” verse has gotten way more press than necessary. In fact, it got so much press that the president himselt had to weigh in. During his interview with Power 95.3′s Obie and Lil Shawn Morning Show, he said

“I think she had a song on there, a little rap that said that, but she likes to play different characters, so I don’t know what’s going on there.”

Nicki responded promptly:

Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do… *sends love & support* @BarackObama
