Will Nicki Minaj really join the 2012 campaign trail?  The singer/rapper has recently voiced frustrations with our health care system via Twitter.  Her tweets, aimed directly at Barack Obama, were in response to the late actress Yvette Wilson’s recent struggle to cover medical bills.  Hello Beautiful reports:
