Why Nicki Minaj Says Feud with Jay-Z and Obama Pushed Her to Trump
Rapper Nicki Minaj says frustrations with Jay-Z and former President Barack Obama led her to embrace the MAGA movement. In a recent interview with Time, she alleged that Jay-Z tried to undermine her career and resented his close ties to Obama. She also criticised comments Obama made about Black voters during the 2024 campaign, calling them condescending and challenging the expectation that Black entertainers automatically support Democrats. After publicly criticising the Democratic Party, Nicki found a warmer welcome from prominent MAGA figures, including conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. She even revealed a “Trump Gold Card” she says was gifted to her by Donald Trump and grants special privileges. Her remarks have sparked mixed reactions online, with supporters applauding her candour and critics questioning her claims and political alignment.
