Nicki Minaj on Hillary: 'I support her as a woman'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Rapper Nicki Minaj said she admired Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as she opened up about her political views Thursday.
"Obviously, I identify with her struggles as a woman," she told Billboard. "I identify with the fact that when she's in that room and there are nothing but men there — there's sometimes something in her that must feel intimidated. But I think that she uses that and turns it into a strength. Because that's what I've always done."
While she said she was trying to be "open-minded" about every presidential candidate, Minaj said she cannot help but be impressed with the way Clinton has persevered after taking hit after hit in both her personal and political lives.
