Nicki Minaj is once again at the centre of online debate after publicly declaring herself Donald Trump’s “No. 1 fan,” a moment that has quickly spread across social media and ignite conversations about her political shift.
The rapper made the statement while she appeared on stage with Trump at a Treasury Department summit, when he was promoting his new “Trump accounts.” Minaj not only praised him but also flashed a gold “Trump Card”, a symbolic visa-style card tied to the program.
Fans and critics reacted immediately. Some expressed shock seeing Minaj align herself so closely with Trump, especially given her long-standing influence in hip-hop and past support for marginalized communities. While others have pointed out that her political stance has been shifting for years, with Minaj increasingly embracing conservative figures and framing Trump as someone she believes has been unfairly targeted.
Minaj has since doubled down, saying the backlash only strengthens her support for the president. As reactions continue to pour in, Minaj’s comments have sparked broader conversations about celebrity influence, political identity in hip-hop, and how communities respond when artists take controversial public stances.
