FOX News’ Laura Ingraham Mistakes Nicki Minaj For…

Fox News host Laura Ingraham had to backtrack after mistakenly mixing up Nicki Minaj with her longtime rap rival and resident WAPtivist Cardi B on air, a mix-up critics are copiously cackling over.
The hilarious on-air blunder occurred as the 2 mentioned Nicki’s look at the President’s Trump Accounts Summit on Wednesday, where she declared herself the controversial Republican’s “No 1. Fan,” and reportedly donated between $150,000 and $300,000 to help his Trump Accounts initiative—particular person retirement accounts designed to encourage early wealth-building, CNBC famous.
Ingraham told Bernie Moreno that she and a few other conservatives had been “beyond disgusted” by the rapper’s lyrics and particularly cited “WAP” as one of the songs they discovered appalling, which, unless you’ve really been dwelling under a rock with no Wi-Fi, everybody is aware of is the hit music by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.
“Nicki Minaj and Donald Trump. Now, conservatives, including myself, were beyond disgusted by some of her lyrics in her songs over the years,” Ingraham said without a shred of doubt. “‘WAP,’ I won’t say what that stands for,” she continued.
At that level, Ingraham paused, apparently receiving an emergency fact-check via earpiece, and corrected herself.
“That’s Cardi B. Oh, that’s how bad I am. That’s Cardi B. Thank you, Sam, I stand corrected,” she said, as Moreno laughed at the error.
Later on in the phase, she tried to chuckle off the big mix-up again, telling viewers, “I can’t believe I insulted Nicki Minaj in comparing her to Cardi B. That is so bad. Guess you can tell I’m a country music fan.”
The web reacts to Laura Ingraham’s mix-up.
The web, being the web, wasted no time dragging Ingraham for the error. Some called the mix-up completely silly, while others discovered it hilarious, particularly contemplating that Cardi B and Nicki Minaj have had a very public feud for years. Mixing them up is mainly the pop-culture model of stepping on a landmine and/or just pondering that we all look alike.
DJ Judd summed it up completely: “Of all the possible reactions to Nicki Minaj joining the president at the White House today, confusing her with Megan Thee Stallion or Cardi B is probably the one that would make her the most angry!”
A few social media customers said the second was proof that, despite her public help for Trump and his administration, conservatives still didn’t take her severely, or even acknowledge her, for that matter.
Democratic commentator Bakari Sellers also chimed in on X, writing bluntly: “We all look alike.”
Why are people dragging Nicki Minaj?
As beforehand reported, at the Trump Accounts Summit on Wednesday, the “Anaconda” rapper gushed about how a lot she loves Trump before addressing the backlash over her public admiration for the president, making it clear she is unbothered, unmoved, and apparently unmuteable.
“I will say that I am probably the president’s No. 1 fan, and that’s not going to change,” Minaj said. “And the hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more.”
She went on to say she wouldn’t enable Trump’s critics to “get away with bullying him and the smear campaigns. It’s not going to work.”
“He has a lot of force behind him, and God is protecting him. Amen,” she added.
Nicki was also gifted a shiny new Trump Gold Card granting her U.S. residency, because apparently, those come with celeb perks now.
She adopted up with a, let’s say, energetic message after the summit, writing on X:
“Residency? Residency? The cope is coping. Finalizing that citizenship paperwork as we speak as per MY wonderful, gracious, charming President. Thanks to the petition. I wouldn’t have done it without you.
Oh CitizenNIKA you are the moment. Gold Trump card free of charge.”
And, if that wasn’t enough, Nicki continued flaunting her pro-Trump help on Jan. 29 when she attended the premiere of Melania at the Trump-Kennedy Center.
