Did Nicki Minaj Publicly Endorse Mitt Romney?

That seems to be the question of the hour. Lil Wayne’s Dedication 4 mixtape dropped earlier today, with a remix to “Mercy” featuring Nicki Minaj. In the song, she raps:

I’m a Republican voting for Mitt Romney
You lazy bitches are fucking up the economy

While it’s easy to take this as a joke, one can’t help but wonder if she’s serious. Earlier this year she caught a bit of flack on twitter for criticizing Obama about failures of the health-care system.

If she is serious, does a rap verse count as an official endorsement? Take a listen to the song below.
