Former New York Representative George Santos is a “Barb” (the affectionate nickname given to Nicki Minaj enthusiasts), and he just proved it by way of rapping “Monster.”
After Santos, 35, referred to as Minaj a “queen” in a YouTube interview with comedian Ziwe Fumudoh — who is going by way of her first name best — he was asked if he was a fan of the Grammy-nominated rapper. After he answered affirmatively, Ziwe, 31, requested the former congressman to prove it.
“Pull up within the monster car … ,” Ziwe started, prompting Santos with lyrics to Minaj’s verse on Kanye West’s 2010 track “Monster.”
While he initially refused to take part, pronouncing “I’m now not spitting verses for you,” Santos gave in. “Gangster with a bad complain that got here from Sri Lanka,” he rapped, completing the Minaj lyric prior to breaking right into a guffawing are compatible.
Santos sat down with Ziwe days after he was expelled from the House of Representatives on December 1 when a House Ethics Committee file found “considerable proof” that he broke several laws. Santos has been indicted on 23 federal charges, allegedly committing identification robbery, wire fraud and lying about his campaign budget.
The former congressman allegedly used campaign funds to make purchases at Hermès and OnlyFans, as well as on personal trip and Botox. In a 2022 New York Post interview, he admitted to mendacity about his background — from being a volleyball celebrity at Baruch College (he by no means attended college) to his earlier employment record.
“I’m embarrassed and sorry for having embellished my résumé,” Santos advised the New York Post. “I personal up to that.”
Since his expulsion, Santos has taken to Cameo — a video sharing web site the place celebrities create customized videos for a fee — to complement his source of revenue. While he lost his $174,000 salary as a consultant, he claimed earlier this month in a CBS interview that he has made more money in every week on Cameo than he did in a 12 months of Congress.
His Cameos — that have time and again gone viral on TikTok — include the whole thing from Santos singing Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble,” discussing his Botox and describing his story as a “upward push to congressman to fallen diva.”
Ziwe, identified for her blunt interviewing style, didn’t dangle back in her questioning of Santos. Just 30 seconds into the 17-minute interview, she proclaimed, “Tonight, one jokester and a national joker sit across from each other in a bombshell interview.”

In addition to trying out his rapping skills, Ziwe quizzed Santos on famous civil rights leaders, triggered him to name the “frauds” in Congress and requested him, “What are we able to do to get you to pass away?”
To the latter question, Santos responded, “Stop inviting me to your gigs.”
