"She said: The Trinidadian who doesn't care about the killing of Trinidadian fishermen, the female rapper who hates other female rappers, who hates on women who are more popular than her, Cardi B. She'll never be Rihanna. She'll never have a brand like Rihanna. She'll never be Beyonce. She's a 40-some year-old, Black female rapper who clearly don't care that much about Black people or immigrants, even though she was an undocumented immigrant."
"Minaj was born in Trinidad and moved to the United States when she was five, eventually gaining legal residency status. There has been talk of Minaj's legal status among critics as she's grown more vocal in her support for Trump. She recently received a $1 million Trump gold card, which is supposed to offer a pathway to eventual citizenship. Reid claimed Minaj has lost her cultural cool and Trump allies will embrace someone new soon who is also Black."
Donald Trump and MAGA figures have embraced Nicki Minaj as a symbolic 'house pet' to borrow Black cultural cool for political benefit. Minaj publicly declared herself likely the president's number-one fan and received a $1 million Trump gold card described as offering a pathway to eventual citizenship. Minaj was born in Trinidad, moved to the United States at five, and later gained legal residency status. Critics point to alleged indifference to the killing of Trinidadian fishermen, hostility toward rival female rappers such as Cardi B, and perceived lack of commitment to Black people or immigrants. Observers contend Trump allies will seek another Black figure once Minaj loses cultural cachet.
