Kemi Badenoch 'flattered' by Nicki Minaj's Thatcher comparison
Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the Conservative Party, expressed her appreciation after rapper Nicki Minaj likened her to former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Minaj posted a video of Badenoch during Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, suggesting that the UK would depict her in film and television similarly to Thatcher. Badenoch, who enjoys Minaj's track 'Starships,' stated she felt honored by the comparison to her heroine. Minaj, a supporter of Trump who appeared with him in January to promote his 'gold card' visa for affluent immigrants, has previously voiced criticism of Trump's immigration policies. These remarks follow significant losses for the Conservatives in recent local elections across England, Scotland, and Wales. Despite this, Badenoch asserts her party is 'coming back' amidst no leadership rumors.
