Why washed-up celebs go MAGA (Salon)



The video mostly covers why Nicki Minaj began grifting for the right but also covers Kid Rock who first started out trying to be a hip hop artist but changed to a some sort of rock or country musician but has been grifting to the right for years. The video also has his hilarious explanation that he wasn't lip syncing toward the end of the video.

For "stars" of their own. Same reason there are black repubs running for office. It's easy to dupe them because they are desperate to be validated. That there are actually people in the spotlight just like themselves.
