Fans aren’t happy with Nicki Minaj‘s recent social media activity.
The “Starships” rapper drew criticism from listeners after she shared a TikTok from the official White House account celebrating Donald Trump‘s second term in the Oval Office.
The slideshow post began with a photo of Trump with the text “2025 will be my year!” on the screen with Minaj’s song “Va Va Voom” as the soundtrack. The last slide featured another photo of the president with the caption “And it has been” before enumerating the current administration’s policies.

Among the listed achievements: “A President who prioritizes Americans,” “No men in women’s sports,” “Border is closed,” “Our cities are safer than ever,” “Criminal illegals are being deported,” “Gas prices are low,” and “World peace.”
Representatives for Minaj and the White House did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly‘s request for comment.
Users online were quick to point out the apparent hypocrisy of Minaj seemingly praising the Trump administration’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants when she described herself as an “illegal immigrant” after moving to the United States from Trinidad when she was a child.

“Nicki minaj being an undocumented immigrant herself with a poc and queer fanbase is shamelessly reposting xenophobic and transphobic white supremacist propaganda…she’s really going out sad,” one user wrote on X.
“How are you an immigrant supporting this man she’s weird asf,” another user opined.
“Nicki Minaj being a transphobe was not on my 2025 bucket list, but I’m actually not surprised,” another user said.
The TikTok repost was not Minaj’s only pro-Trump post this month. The “Anaconda” rapper also expressed admiration for the president after the White House account used her song “Beez in the Trap” in a montage video of the first couple.
“The President & First Lady of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Minaj wrote on X on Nov. 3. “Barbz, idk which one of you uploaded this to the white house TikTok but just know unlimited backstage GAG CITY FOR LIFE Idk what timeline we’re on right now, I’m just goin w|the flow.”

The musician also praised Trump’s decision to recognize Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” due to his claims that Christians in the country face an “existential threat” despite no evidence suggesting that one religion faces more violence than another.
“Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God,” Minaj wrote on X on Nov. 1. “Thank you to The President & his team for taking this seriously. God bless every persecuted Christian. Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer.”
