'Just like Thatcher': Kemi Badenoch gets bizarre endorsem...
2026-05-14 · via News | Mail Online

By JAMES TAPSFIELD, UK POLITICAL EDITOR

Published: | Updated:

Kemi Badenoch has been given a bizarre endorsement by US star Nicki Minaj after her thumping Commons performance.

The flamboyant rapper, whose hits include Anaconda, compared the Tory leader to Thatcher and predicted there would be films made about her in the future.

The unexpected intervention in British politics came after Mrs Badenoch savaged Labour's leadership chaos in the House yesterday. 

She accused Keir Starmer during her King's Speech response of being 'in office, but not in power' as the party plunges into civil war.

And in a clip posted by Minaj on X, Mrs Badenoch ordered Wes Streeting to 'do his job' rather than plotting a coup.  

As the Health Secretary sat squirming on the Government front bench a few seats from Sir Keir, the Conservative leader said: 'I suppose the Health Secretary has been a bit distracted lately, hasn't he? He's chuntering now, why don't you just do your job? Do your job.'

Waving her finger at Mr Streeting she admonished: 'There's no point in giving me dirty looks. We all know what he's been up to.'

Alongside the footage, Minaj - an outspoken and often controversial Donald Trump supporter - posted: 'The UK is truly one of a kind. They will portray her in film & TV one day... just like they did with Margaret Thatcher.'

During the King's Speech debate, Mrs Badenoch also took aim at the female members of the Labour front bench.

She highlighted that plans to increase business rates and taxes on firms had seen MPs 'banned from pubs, banned from hairdressers, which is presumably why all the women on the front bench have the same hairstyle!'

Chancellor Rachel Reeves, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds and Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy looked distinctly unamused by the barb.

When Labour MPs tried to drown her out by shouting during her speech, Mrs Badenoch said 'I know they can't wait to get back to their plotting', adding: 'They want to lead our country, they can't even lead a coup'. 

She went on: 'I know the convention is for this to be a light-hearted debate, but as I have already said, this is a highly unusual moment. 

'The Prime Minister is in office, but not in power. Everyone is trying to pretend it's all right. It's not all right.

'In the past 48 hours, nearly 100 Labour MPs have called for the Prime Minister to resign. Four ministers have quit.

'It is clear his authority has gone and that he will not be able to deliver what little there is in this King's Speech.

'This is a Government less than two years in office, which has already run out of ideas and run out of road.'

It is not Minaj's first foray into UK politics. 

In 2021 a bewildering war of words broke out between the singer, Boris Johnson and Chris Whitty after she took to social media to share an anti-vax impotence myth.

At a press conference England's Chief Medical Officer and the then-PM accused her of spreading 'untrue' and 'ridiculous' claims that Covid vaccines could cause impotence.

The rapper, who is originally from Trinidad and Tobago, responded to the 'diss' with an audio clip mocking Mr Johnson in a faux English accent.
