"It was very flattering to hear Nicki Minaj compare me to Margaret Thatcher, who is a heroine of mine, and in fact a heroine to all Conservatives. I do like her song Starships, I've been dancing to it for a long time, as do my children. So it's very flattering that even in the US they can see who is holding Labour to account - it's the Conservatives, it is me, and that's quite a nice thing to see."
"The UK is truly one of a kind. They will portray her in film & TV one day... just like they did with Margaret Thatcher."
"Thatcher, the UK's first female prime minister who held the post from 1979 until her resignation in 1990, was portrayed on the big screen by Meryl Streep in the 2011 drama The Iron Lady."
"Minaj, considered to be one of the most-influential rappers of all time, described herself as US President Donald Trump's "number one fan" earlier this year. Speaking on Friday, Badenoch said: "It was very flattering to hear Nicki Minaj compare me to Margaret Thatcher"."
Kemi Badenoch responded to Nicki Minaj’s comments comparing her to Margaret Thatcher by saying she felt flattered. Badenoch described Thatcher as a heroine of hers and of Conservatives, and said Minaj’s song Starships had been something she and her children had been dancing to for a long time. Badenoch also framed the comparison as evidence that Conservatives, including herself, were holding Labour to account. Minaj had shared a clip of Badenoch at Prime Minister’s Questions and suggested she would be portrayed in film and TV like Thatcher. The remarks followed heavy Conservative losses in elections across England, Scotland, and Wales, while Badenoch insisted her party was “coming back.”
