Nicki Minaj has yet to chat it up with an invisible Barack Obama.

But like Clint Eastwood, the fashion-forward MC appears to be a supporter of Mitt Romney. On Lil Wayne's new track "Mercy" (part of his Dedication 4 mixtape), Nicki pretty clearly throws her weight behind the Republican presidential hopeful.

"I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney," she raps. "You lazy bitches are f--king up the economy."

Then again, maybe we shouldn't take Nicki's lyrics too seriously. In her 2009 song "Mind on My Money," she says in one line, "Tell Michelle I got my eye on Barack Obama."

Who says hip-hop and politics don't go hand in hand?!
