Nicki Minaj's Maga conversion is doing nothing for her career  or is it? | Arwa Mahdawi
"In November, for example, Minaj shared a post by Donald Trump about the treatment of Christians in Nigeria and agreed to collaborate with the administration on awareness around the issue. Then, in December, the rapper made a surprise appearance at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest convention, where she heaped praise on the late Charlie Kirk (who once said Minaj was not a good role model for 18-year-old Black girls) and the vice-president, JD Vance."
"Two online petitions to have Minaj deported now have more than 120,000 signatures. Minaj came to the US from Trinidad and Tobago as an undocumented child and has been outspoken about Trump's hardline immigration policies. She even once rapped about them: Island girl, Donald Trump want me go home, she sang in 2016. Perhaps she is reckoning that now she has got a green card, and is being broadly pro-Trump, the president is not going to send her home,"
Nicki Minaj has publicly aligned with the Trump administration, sharing a Trump post about Christians in Nigeria and agreeing to collaborate on awareness. She made a surprise appearance at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest, praising Charlie Kirk and vice-president JD Vance, and accidentally called Vance an assassin while speaking with Erika Kirk. Two online petitions seek her deportation and have amassed over 120,000 signatures. Minaj immigrated from Trinidad and Tobago as an undocumented child and previously criticized Trump's immigration policies, even rapping about them in 2016. Observers question whether her political shift reflects genuine ideological change, legal security from a green card, or other motives.
