Nicki Minaj shocks fans by praising Donald Trump and Elon Musk, sparking confusion and jokes about her “strangest rebrand ever.”
Nicki Minaj has fans scratching their heads after publicly showing support for both Donald Trump and Elon Musk — two figures not usually linked with the rapper’s image.
The 42-year-old star recently praised President Trump for labeling Nigeria as “a country of particular concern” because of Islamist attacks on local Christians.
Sharing her thoughts on X (formerly Twitter), Nicki wrote, “Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God. No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion.” She thanked Trump and his team “for taking this seriously” and urged followers to pray for persecuted Christians around the world.
Just days later, Nicki reposted a video from Elon Musk with the caption, “Speak Elon, we’re listening.” In the clip, the Tesla CEO talked about the need for people to find inspiration and strive toward becoming a “star-faring civilization.” Nicki’s repost left many fans confused about her new direction, with one commenting, “Strangest rebrand ever. I’m here to watch it play out,” and another joking, “We didn’t have ‘Nicki Minaj endorsing Elon Musk’ on our 2025 bingo card!”
To make things even more interesting, a lyric from her 2023 collaboration with Lil Uzi Vert on Endless Fashion has resurfaced. The line — “I got a Republican doctor / Made my a– great again, MAGA” — has reignited debates about whether Nicki was hinting at conservative views or just making a cheeky reference to her cosmetic surgery.
Reddit user said, Nicki Minaj married a sex offender who raped a little girl and has been defending him on social media, so defending Donald Trump and Elon Musk is completely on brand.
another user said, Not a rebrand. She was a vocal supporter of Mitt Romney over Obama in 2012, and well as adding financial support to the Republicans. This is who she always was.
Nicki, who holds citizenship in Trinidad and Tobago, even joked about wanting “honorary citizenship” from a Trump parody account, posting, “Dear Papi Trumpo, Please, grant me honorary citizenship. Since these h-es think everything is transactional like their c–ch.”
While some fans applauded Nicki for speaking up about religious persecution, others admitted they were puzzled by her growing praise for Trump and Musk — two figures known for stirring controversy.
Whether this marks a genuine shift in her beliefs or just another unpredictable Nicki moment, one thing’s for sure: the internet can’t stop talking about her “new era.”
