Rapper Nicki Minaj proclaimed herself as the top admirer of U.S. President Donald Trump during an event at the Treasury Department, where Trump was endorsing his new financial products. Trump praised Minaj as the most successful female rapper in history and mentioned her pledge to donate a substantial sum to his accounts.
Minaj expressed unwavering support for Trump despite facing criticism, stating that negative comments only motivate her to back him even more. She showcased a Trump gold card visa on social media, highlighting her ongoing process of obtaining U.S. citizenship under the current administration.
While Minaj previously had reservations about Trump, her stance evolved over time. Notably, she opted out of attending the 2021 Met Gala due to vaccination requirements, citing concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine. Her controversial remarks about the vaccine’s side effects drew criticism from health officials and fact-checkers.
In recent years, Minaj has become more vocal in her alignment with Trump, actively promoting his policies on social media and participating in events supportive of the administration’s agenda. Despite facing backlash for her newfound political stance, Minaj’s shift in support has stirred strong reactions from fans and the public.
Critics have pointed out that Minaj’s pivot towards Trump contradicts her previous advocacy for LGBTQ rights and human rights issues. The rapper’s endorsement of Trump has led to debates within her fanbase and the broader community about the impact of celebrity endorsements on political discourse.
