Nicki Minaj Fans Say They’re Switching to Republican Party
Newsweek ^ | 2/8/26 | Marni Rose McFall

Posted on 02/08/2026 8:44:09 AM PST by CFW

In November, Minaj appeared at the United Nations in support of the Trump administration to speak on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. In December, she was interviewed by Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk and the chairwoman of Turning Point USA, the conservative youth organization.

Then, after sharing increasingly supportive social media posts of conservative politics and the Trump administration, Minaj met with Trump and described herself as “probably the president’s number one fan."

The move has been met with backlash from many of the rappers’ fans. Videos of her music being booed in clubs have gone viral, petitions calling for her deportation have amassed tens of thousands of signatures, and she was mocked at the Grammys by host Trevor Noah.

This is an interesting change. I've never listened to her music, but she apparently has a big following.

I noticed NewsWeak didn’t include Minaj’s own post that you posted. Of course. It’s too impactful for “the wrong side”.

Very good news, and they are probably maximized votes because they are in the most needed places, and among expressive people who will share their views with others in those hard to reach places.

More from the article:

“The Minaj fan account @barbieqluuv, run by a “proud american & floridian” wrote in a post on X “today is the day I switch to republican seeing how the democrats treated nicki minaj on social media, the press, and in public. they were mocking a black woman trauma is just insane to witness. i may get hate for this but I believe it’s the right thing to do.”

That post was viewed over 300,000 times and the social media user wrote in the replies that they had never voted before but intend to this year.

Another fan account, @JayyMaraj2, wrote in a post on X, “Officially a Republican!!!!!!! I’ll never vote for a democrat ever again.” That post included a picture of Minaj and Trump, and has been viewed over 300,000 times on X.

The fan account @gagcitySHERRIF wrote in a post viewed over 70,000 times, “MAGA BARBZ IT IS I will never vote dem again!!””

Maybe Kid Rock can have her perform at his 250th US Anniversary show instead of those pukes with the gay name “Shinedown” which sounds like a sex act in prison. I can’t believe he cancelled the whole show because of those leftist bitches

I know quite a few “Christians” who are extremely Liberal and who hate Trump with a white hot fury.

Anything that helps people wake up and think about how they identify as Christian while also holding Liberal views would be good.

The goal is to broaden the tent, increase the number of followers and believers in certain core values.
This is not to say I think Minaj will be a conservative in every way from here on. No. But while she is open to respectfully talking about what we as conservatives have in common, I say let the Lady speak her piece.

It’s about building a coalition of groups, who don’t necessarily get along with each other, but have just enough common ground.

Exactly!
Dennis Rodman served his purposes years back as a liason between Trump and Little Kim. Now it’s Nicki’s turn.
I noticed in that statement, she clearly made her points with out having to resort to profanity as a way to sound serious. With her. that won’t happen all the time, but good to know she is capable of family friendly communication.
Not like Cher with those ugly emojis.

Good for her and her fans but someone needs to educate her about the moon landings before she opens her mouth about them again.

Ideally, we'll ban the Democratic Party and then we'll have John Fetterman and Bill Maher lead the "Liberal Party".

They're still Democrats except theyre not Communists.

I assume she has transformed - anyone ever heard her lyrics?

It seems she may well have awoken, if so, bless her. I’ll be curious what her next songs are like, assuming she hasn’t retired.

It would actually be nice for once to have a real choice in elections.

All my life, I just voted Republican by default, because there simply was no viable alternative.

That’s no different than someone saying they believe in ghosts or tarot cards. It means nothing when we have people in real positions of power who have claimed seriously for years that we only have less than 5 years left on the planet or that islands are in danger of flipping over.

So far it's just Trump.

Even if Vance or Rubio ends up getting elected, I doubt that they'll be as strong as Trump.

Andrew Jackson ➡️ Martin van Buren

Theodore Roosevelt ➡️ William Taft

MAGA is unlikely to go beyond Trump's presidency.
