Over the past several weeks, the rapper has increasingly embraced pro-Trump and pro–JD Vance messaging, using her massive social media platform to praise the administration and attack its critics. In her surprising speech at the United Nations in November, she praised the Trump administration for prioritizing what she described as the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. “I would like to thank President Donald Trump for prioritizing this issue… and calling for urgent action,” Minaj said, adding, “We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order to respect each other.”
