Nicki Minaj has defended Donald Trump in a defiant 15-point social media post after Democrats seized control of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections.
The rapper, 42, took to X on Wednesday to push back against the political setback, framing the Republican losses as temporary and lashing out at critics while praising allies of the administration. Her message came as Democrats flipped both the House of Representatives and the Senate, giving them power to block legislation and investigate Trump during his final two years in office.
Minaj opened her numbered list with a blunt declaration: “Trump is STILL your PRESIDENT.” She paired it with personal swagger, writing, “The QUEEN is STILL your OBSESSION,” and added a religious note: “Jesus is STILL LORD.”
The “Super Bass” singer also singled out Vice President JD Vance for praise, calling a recent contribution “Great insight by the VICE PRESIDENT.” She congratulated Republican Representatives Anna Paulina Luna and Byron Donalds, then took aim at an unnamed “billion-dollar” campaign that she said had failed to deliver victory. The reference appeared to point toward Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential run, which drew heavy celebrity involvement but ended in defeat.
Turning to her own fanbase, Minaj wrote, “The BARBZ are STILL PRETTY!!!” She followed with a provocative political stance: “I don’t vote, I VETO.” The post closed with a taunt directed at her detractors: “Stay tuned & STAY MAD.”
Religious persecution featured prominently in her message. “Christians are STILL being killed,” she wrote, adding, “Maybe now our people will WAKE UP.” She signed off with “Love you” alongside a pink bow and American flag emoji.
In a follow-up post, Minaj shifted focus to X owner Elon Musk. Her 14th point read: “Elon is STILL a trillionaire and you are STILL posting on his app. I’m sure the shareholders appreciate the dialogue.”
She devoted her final point to Grok, Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot, describing it as “a phenomenal product that has significantly changed my life for the better,” and thanking the official Grok account.
Minaj’s political evolution has been striking. She previously criticized Trump’s immigration policies during his first term, but more recently declared herself his “number one fan.” In January, she appeared alongside him at the White House’s Trump Accounts Summit, where she publicly praised the president. She expanded on her support during an appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast, citing religious freedom and saying she sympathized with what she viewed as bullying directed at Trump.
Her campaign involvement intensified in October when she joined Trump at a rally in Port Huron, Michigan. Addressing the crowd, she said, “President Trump, it is an honor to stand with you every single time,” and pledged continued support for him and Republican candidates.
The rapper has also drawn attention for advocacy work outside electoral politics. She appeared at a United Nations event focused on violence against Christians in Nigeria, an issue she has repeatedly highlighted.
The midterm results marked a dramatic reversal for Republicans, who had held narrow majorities in both chambers. The Democratic sweep gives the opposition party subpoena power and the ability to advance its own legislative agenda, fundamentally altering the governing landscape for Trump’s remaining time in office.
Minaj’s Wednesday posts showed no retreat from her public alliance with the administration. Instead, she treated the electoral losses as irrelevant to Trump’s standing and used the moment to amplify her broader cultural and political message.
The rapper’s support for Musk and his platforms also underscored her alignment with the tech billionaire’s orbit. Her enthusiastic endorsement of Grok represented a rare celebrity testimonial for an AI product, woven into a political statement that blended personal brand, faith, and partisan loyalty.
Minaj has not announced further political appearances, though her October rally stop suggests she may remain active on the campaign circuit as the 2028 presidential cycle approaches.
