“Remember Nicki supports him, so he wanted to say something nice about her and show appreciation for her, but didn't know what to say, because he really doesn't know her that well, so he chose to talk about her nails and skin!”
@KeaLedwaba_ joked:
“Lol, Imagine Ramaphosa talking about Nadia Nakai during SONA 😭😭😭”
@TheSamariturn asked:
“Is Trevor gay? Or do you only comment when he comments on others, not your friends?”
@VNtlonze47622 gushed:
“He can stand up for America and his people 50x better than Ramaposa, as funny and stupid as he looks, but he can deliver 🐐”
