“I love the fact that she’s stepping into politics and pushing, trying to make her voice heard,” Howard said.
For Howard, the conversation should go beyond whether celebrities belong in politics. He believes more attention should be given to the issues affecting everyday people, particularly those within the community.
He encouraged people to focus on topics that are relevant to their lives and discuss what communities actually need. Rather than dismissing Minaj because she is a celebrity, Howard appears interested in what she could bring to conversations about issues that affect people outside the entertainment industry.
Howard also addressed the possibility that Minaj’s political involvement could be motivated by financial gain. He said he does not believe she is speaking out simply to put more money in her pockets. Instead, he views her actions as an attempt to use her influence on a larger scale.
