The simpler explanation is that her cousin if just selling her lies so that she can send money to him so that he can not have to work, and now the story got away from him.

To be sure I don't want to see or hear nicki manage, her cousin and or his friend or his fiance. The giant, self aware, talking, hanging balls are a completely different matter!

I need to watch Stephen Colbert's show more often. I could never forgive myself if I miss this interview! Lmfbo.

This obsessive focus on the balls story is making me testy.

Thank you Nicki 😂 for creating such a great joke opportunity 😭🤣 and a ''BIG'' shout out to your cousin's friend and his swollen balls...😄

[@anisa_mazaki23]

As a Trini Citizen, I agree with Debbie Marquis. Nicki embarrassed the country and didn't really do anything helpful. She really should keep her personal business where they belong - behind closed doors. I mean what right did she have to talk about some guy's problem - who isn't even related to her in the first place? Steups.

[@jamielawlor2394]

The writers need a raise for that monologue. So good my testicles are laughing.

[@jaysinger535]

Nicki is always out of her mind. Anyways congrats,Gavin Newsom! It’s stunning and outrageous that it had to be Quayle to saved our American democracy from the fly man and the orange freak.

[@kidkuleshov]

how so?

[@WhatisReal11]

You people are evil

[@akinthevalley4874]

True. It's ridiculous that people even have to respond to her vulgar, below the belt obsessed misinformation but otherwise her fans will believe just like they believe her brother and current husband are both innocent of raping a minor. Disgusting. Anyway this segment was much needed humor and It's so great Gavin Newsom won by a landslide. It's a good day for responsible covid policy and democracy!
