Nicki Minaj called Kathy Hochul an “evil woman” Wednesday (October 28). She predicted divine punishment for Hochul.
Governor Hochul’s told people to “get outside, and stop going to Trump rallies, it’s kind of poisoning your mind.”
Nicki Minaj fired back and urged Black and Christian voters to support Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman, citing Hochul’s old comments about Black children and computers.
Blakeman praised Minaj and joked about a moving truck for Hochul.
Minaj’s criticism returned attention to a remark that drew 50 Cent’s criticism in May 2024. Hochul had said young Black children in the Bronx did not know what a computer was while speaking at the Milken Institute Global Conference in California.
In that earlier dispute, 50 Cent questioned the idea that children in the Bronx were unfamiliar with computers and pointed to their skill with iPads.
The governor was discussing the state’s Empire AI Consortium and the opportunities she hoped it would create. Her comments came on May 6, 2024, more than two years before Minaj’s latest posts.
Hochul apologized later that same day. She said she had misspoken, acknowledged that Black children in the Bronx knew what computers were and said the problem was access to technology that could help them reach well-paid jobs in fields such as artificial intelligence.
Trump’s influence was already a point of conflict in the governor’s race. At a Sunday campaign stop at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, Hochul criticized Blakeman’s support for the president, WABC reported. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani joined her to rally union members. It was his second campaign appearance with Hochul in three days.
Blakeman, meanwhile, campaigned in Yorktown Heights with former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino. He attacked Hochul’s alliance with Mamdani as the candidates sought votes in the final stretch.
Trump endorsed Blakeman’s campaign, according to FOX 5 New York‘s account of the candidates’ backers. Hochul’s supporters included Mamdani, Attorney General Letitia James and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
New York’s early voting period runs through November 1. Election Day is November 3, with polls open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., according to the state Board of Elections. Early voting hours vary from county to county.
