Nicki Minaj sparked controversy after posting dozens of political and personal attacks on X following a joke made about her at the Grammy Awards. The rapper, who did not attend the ceremony, reacted after host Trevor Noah referenced her recent appearance with President Donald Trump during his opening monologue.
Minaj criticized the Grammys, calling the awards show a “ritual” and suggesting divine judgment against those who spoke about her. Her posts appeared shortly after Noah joked that she was not present because she was still at the White House with Trump, which drew laughter and cheers from the audience.
Much of Minaj’s rant focused on politics. She urged Christians and LGBTQ people not to support Democrats, repeatedly calling them “demoncrats.” She also repeated unproven claims that Democrats were bringing immigrants into the country to gain votes, echoing common talking points from Trump supporters.
The rapper also made allegations against several celebrities. She accused Jay-Z of being a “child predator” and suggested inappropriate relationships involving minors, claims that are not supported by public evidence. She also mocked singer Lizzo, claiming her recent weight loss did not translate into music success.
Minaj further suggested she would delay releasing new music until her contract is renegotiated. She threatened to expose Billboard for alleged sabotage but did not provide details to support the claim.
Other public figures responded to the moment in different ways. Chrissy Teigen appeared on camera giving a thumbs-up after Noah’s joke and later shared the clip on social media. California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office also joked about Minaj and Kid Rock being “snubbed” at the Grammys.
President Trump weighed in after the ceremony, attacking the Grammys and Trevor Noah on Truth Social. Trump criticized Noah’s jokes and denied any connection to Epstein Island, calling the remarks false and defamatory while suggesting possible legal action.
Minaj’s comments follow her recent shift toward right-wing politics. She has appeared alongside Trump at public events, called herself his “number one fan,” and publicly supported several conservative causes. This marks a sharp contrast from her past criticism of Trump during his earlier presidency.
