Linda Perry
Hey, What’s Going On with Nicki …
Is Not for Me to Judge
Published
You won’t catch Linda Perry sharpening her pitchfork over Nicki Minaj‘s support of Donald Trump … she’s just chalking it up to a “lapse of judgment.”
In an interview with Billboard’s “Pop Shop Podcast” last week … the 4 Non Blondes singer said she thinks NM must be in a bit of a pickle if she’s going full MAGA.
Linda told Billboard … “In Nicki’s case, it seems that she wanted something from the office and was trying to maybe help herself, a friend, a boyfriend — whatever — and was promised something and felt that it was worth the risk to take.”
She explained that if someone she really loved — like her best friend, family, or ex-wife Sara Gilbert — was in trouble or desperately needed something, she’d probably make a “bad judgment” call, too … even if that means “begging and groveling to somebody to get it to happen.”
LP added … “Sometimes when we’re thinking about loved ones or trying to get out of a situation, we’re not thinking clearly.”
Remember, “What’s Up?” by 4 Non Blondes went viral last year in a TikTok mashup with Nicki’s “Beez in the Trap.”
And while Linda has sympathy for whatever situation she believes the rapper’s found herself in … Nicki’s still all-in on Trump.
In fact, she told Time in a recent interview that she’s not the only one, saying … “Many celebrities feel the way I do, but they don’t say it. Sometimes, you just need one brave person to get the brunt of the impact. I think I am the catalyst for that change.”
