For Patrick, the moment represented a major viral breakthrough as he screenshotted the reply and posted it to his Instagram.
He quipped in the caption of the post: “Yeh, so, Nicki Minaj knows who I am – I don’t like to go on about it.” (sic)
Patrick’s fans were thrilled by the moment, with one commenting: “@patrickchristys brilliant. Looking forward to seeing you in her next music video, get practising your moves.”

Another added: “She’s not wrong. I think I fell a little in love with Kemi during that speech.”
“You are brilliant Patrick just brilliant! You say it how it is!” a third said before another joked: “Crikey mate – you’ve made it!” (sic)
The clip that caught Ms Minaj’s eye centred on Ms Badenoch’s dismantling of Labour MPs on Wednesday.
In a particularly headline-grabbing moment, the Tory leader took aim at Health Secretary Wes Streeting amid rumours he was gearing up for a leadership charge.
Ms Badenoch urged Mr Streeting to “do your job” as the Health Secretary, remarking that everyone “knew what he’d been up to” regarding a potential campaign against Sir Keir Starmer.
The Tory leader told the Commons: “I suppose the Health Secretary has been a bit distracted lately.
“Why don’t you just do your job? Do your job.”
“There’s no point (in) him giving me dirty looks. We all know what he’s been up to.”
