Sources: 45. Developments: 2. Rapper Nicki Minaj has publicly reaffirmed her support for Donald Trump. In an interview on Fox News’ ‘The Ingraham Angle’, she described the president as “smart, fun, grounded, and easy to connect with,” while noting she has no intention of apologizing for her political alignment. At that time, she stated her upcoming concert tours would focus on entertainment rather than political messaging. Minaj subsequently intensified her political engagement by urging young Americans to “vote red” in upcoming midterm elections. During an appearance on Fox News’ ‘My View with Lara Trump’, she criticized the Democratic Party as “petty and childish” for its ties to the entertainment industry. While praising Trump’s “candid, unedited vibe,” her political stance has drawn backlash from portions of her fanbase. Ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, Minaj expanded her call to action by urging young voters to participate in all levels of government, including local elections, and explicitly telling them to “vote red.” She suggested that Black Americans have historically felt pressured to “vote blue” but noted a shift in people wanting to voice their own concerns. This political activity follows her recent involvement with the Trump administration as a judge for the Small Business Administration’s Million Dollar Pitch Competition. Her stance continues to draw social media backlash, with some fans labeling her a “sellout.” ## Timeline ### 2026-09-26: Nicki Minaj urges young Americans to ‘vote red’ in 2026 midterms Nicki Minaj urged young Americans to ‘vote red’ in the 2026 midterms during a Fox News interview, reaffirming her support for Donald Trump and criticizing the Democratic Party. 33 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nicki-minaj-urges-young-voters-to-vote-red-in-midterm-elections ### 2026-09-18: Nicki Minaj defends support for Donald Trump Nicki Minaj defended her support for Donald Trump during a Fox News interview, stating she will not apologize for her stance and will not use her future concert tours for political lectures. 22 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nicki-minaj-reaffirms-support-for-donald-trump-during-fox-news-interview --- Cite as: Nicki Minaj political support for Donald Trump.
