Cole started the bit Saturday evening by saying, “Lord, we would like you to bless our sister, Nicki Minaj,” earlier than suggesting she’s “been going by way of quite a bit these days” and “hasn’t been herself.” Then he dropped the punchline … joking that no matter’s “in her ass is affecting her mind” and asking the Lord to “take it out.”
Cameras caught viewers members laughing and smiling as Cole delivered the joke preacher type, totally committing to the bit throughout what many on-line are already calling a controversial opening phase.
The road about Nicki “not being herself” appeared to reference the current backlash she’s confronted over her vocal help of President Donald Trump — a stance that is divided a few of her followers and sparked heavy criticism on-line. Nicki has publicly defended her political beliefs, however the response hasn’t sat effectively with lots of her followers.
Nicki wasn’t the one star in Cole’s crosshairs. He additionally lobbed jokes at Teyana Taylor and 50 Cent.
No phrase but on whether or not Nicki discovered the bit humorous.
