Rapper Nicki Minaj drew widespread attention this week after appearing at a Donald Trump event and describing herself as his “biggest fan,” a move that surprised many fans and commentators. In this episode of the breakdown, the focus turns to Nicki Minaj Trump support and why it appears to conflict with her own background and career path. Minaj is the daughter of immigrants, shaped by multicultural America, and rose to prominence within systems that expanded access for women, Black artists and migrants. Critics argue her endorsement clashes with Trump’s long record of opposing immigration protections, diversity initiatives and institutions that have historically supported Black communities.
