Nicki Minaj is currently under fire for her support of Donald Trump, and her latest attack on New York Governor Kathy Hochul.

Nicki Minaj has found herself wrapped up in President Donald Trump's plans to win the midterms for Republicans. They are currently way down in the polls across the country, and Trump is getting desperate concerning voter turnout.

This past weekend, Minaj was seen campaigning with Trump, and it was quite the sight to behold for all the wrong reasons. Now, with the midterms just a few days away, Minaj is aiming at New York Governor Kathy Hochul. She is even going so far as to call her "evil."

"Kathy Hochul is an evil woman," Minaj wrote. "The Democratic Party should forfeit her seat because even if she wins, she will be of great consequence to them. Downward spiral for her. She will not escape God’s wrath. She did not denounce evil when she had the chance."

These comments are not surprising coming from Nicki Minaj. Since her MAGA turn, she has been calling Democrats evil whenever she has an opportunity to do so.

That said, Kathy Hochul was eventually asked about these comments, and she did not hesitate to clap back. In the kindest terms possible, Hochul told Nicki to go touch some grass.

Kathy Hochul Responds

“And stop going to Trump rallies, it’s kinda poisoning your mind," the governor added.

Hochul is leading her opponent Bruce Blakeman by 11 points in the polls heading into Tuesday's election. Ultimately, New York has been a Democratic stronghold for decades. Given this information, a Hochul blowout would not be a surprise.

The success of progressives like Zohran Mamdani in New York City has only helped to bolster the Democrats' standing in the state. Given this information, it is unlikely that Minaj's latest comments have any effect on the outcome of the election.
