Nicki Minaj hasn’t been shy about her support for Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again movement in the last year, but it took a lot for her to come out publicly and back the president, as she was initially afraid of the backlash from her peers in the music industry.

Minaj, who has branded herself as the president’s “No. 1 fan,” went deep about her Trump support and political activism in an interview with TIME published on Wednesday (May 13).
“I felt that way already about him, just that I didn’t dare act like that publicly,” she said. “It’s been ingrained in everyone’s brain in the music business that we are supposed to be a Democratic family. I just knew they would not like me supporting Trump.”
Minaj continued: “Many celebrities feel the way I do, but they don’t say it. Sometimes you just need one brave person to get the brunt of the impact. I think I am the catalyst for that change. Hopefully, when they see me and hear me speak and feel my energy.”
For the “Super Bass” rapper, she felt compelled to speak up about her MAGA pivot after she was allegedly “completely ignored” by California Governor Gavin Newsom, following repeated swatting calls to her California home.
That’s when Republican U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna stepped in to have her touch base with law enforcement and a private security firm to put an end to the swatting.
“I was shocked. I’d never seen anyone in politics treat me that way,” she told TIME. “That’s what made me say that I don’t care to keep this a secret anymore.”
Minaj is open to continuing to delve further into politics and doing “whatever it is” to support Trump in the upcoming midterms. The Queens, New York, native even compared him to Marilyn Monroe. “It’s the same way Marilyn Monroe represents a vibe — Donald Trump is his own vibe,” she stated.
Continuing her war with rival Jay-Z, Minaj didn’t miss a chance to take a swipe at Hov, even while talking about Barack Obama. “Lots of rappers don’t like Jay-Z and were afraid to say it,” she claimed.
She even looked back on her disproven 2021 claim that the COVID-19 vaccine was causing impotence and swollen testicles in Trinidad. “I guess they had examined everyone’s testicles in Trinidad and came back to tell me that I was lying,” Minaj quipped.
After months of public support, she met Donald Trump for the first time at a Trump Accounts Summit in January, where the president revealed that Minaj invested “hundreds of thousands of dollars in Trump Accounts.”
Last year, Minaj commended the Trump administration during an interview with Erika Kirk at a Turning Point USA event. She also complimented the president for threatening to take military action in Nigeria over the alleged persecution of Christians in the country.
