Nicki Minaj and Azealia Banks back Kemi Badenoch for PM

American rappers Nicki Minaj and Azealia Banks have thrown their weight behind Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch.

It's an unlikely moment of agreement between the singers, who have famously feuded in the past.

Writing on X on Wednesday, Minaj wrote on X: "The UK is truly one of a kind. They will portray her in film & TV one day…just like they did with Margaret Thatcher."

Trinidad and Tobago-born rapper Minaj, best known for hits including Super Freaky Girl, Anaconda and Starships, has previously described herself as Republican president Donald Trump's "number one fan".

Meanwhile, Banks who has spoken of her admiration for Ms Badenoch before, wrote on X: "Sorry i made fun of you guys in Britain, i rolled over and realized its actually no longer a laughing matter and I shouldnt be making jokes. I hope you all vote conservative and Listen to Kemi Badenoch."

She went on to offer her advice on British domestic security.

In a later post, Banks said of Ms Badenoch: "She is a star".

Last month, the 32-year-old shared a clip of Ms Badenoch speaking in the House of Commons on X, with the message: "Kemi Badenoch is f**king iconic. World leaders will respect her Professionalism alot more than goofball Nigel [Farage]."

Minaj and Banks both went to the same LaGuardia High School in New York, with their original beef arising in 2012 after Azealia reportedly turned down the chance to tour with Nicki to work on her album Broke With Expensive Taste.

New York rapper Banks won wide acclaim for her single 212, but has since become better known for her Twitter outbursts and ongoing feuds with numerous celebrities, including Minaj, Zayn Malik and Lana Del Rey.

Despite losses in the local elections, Ms Badenoch has insisted that the Conservatives "are coming back to get Britain working again".

Meanwhile, the Labour Party is in turmoil, with Health Secretary Wes Streeting the latest minister to resign, and many predicting an imminent leadership challenge against Sir Keir Starmer.
