President Obama believes that Nicki Minaj wasplaying a character when she madeher remarksabout Mitt Romney in her NSFW collaboration with Lil Wayne, Mercy. In an interview with Orlando, Florida radio station Power 95.3 this morning, Obama was asked directly about Minajs Romney endorsement, a.k.a when she rapped, Im a Republican voting for Mitt Romney/ You lazy b****es is f***ing up the economy. Obama explained, Yeah, Im not sure thats exactly what happened.She likes to play different characters.

One of the hosts then speculated that Roman was behind it all, referencing Roman Zolanski, one of Minajs alter-egos known for his outspoken/angry ways.

Obama was right. After the clip showed up around the Internet this morning (as first reported by Buzzfeed) Minaj tweeted, Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do *sends love & support.

Now that sounds like an endorsement.
