It’s the story which Mr S has always wanted to write: a tale of two divas renowned for their witty lines. After Kemi Badenoch’s barnstorming performance in the House yesterday afternoon, the Tory leader is winning fans across the political spectrum. But one place where she might not have expected to pick up support was in the United States. A clip shared by GB News star Patrick Christys went viral among Yanks on X, with one American in particular taking a shine to the Essex MP. Step forward Nicki Minaj…
Yes, that’s right: the Trinidadian ‘Queen of Rap’ was rather taken by a fellow female’s impressive performance. ‘The UK is truly one of a kind’, she wrote online. ‘They will portray her [Badenoch] in film and TV one day… just like they did with Margaret Thatcher.’ It is not the first time such a comparison has been made, with Steerpike’s own chairman Lord Moore among the grandees making such references. But Mr S suggests that no endorsement has been more memorable for the Tory leader than from a woman whose own portfolio includes such hits as ‘Starships’, ‘Anaconda’ and ‘Super Freaky Girl.’
Talk about doing ‘Right By My Side’, eh?
? The UK is truly one of a kind.
They will portray her in film & TV one day…just like they did with
Margaret Thatcher. https://t.co/T7E1gVsbUa— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) May 13, 2026
