Well: Nicki Minaj publishes AI-generated pictures of Trump in a pink jacket for Presidents’ Day.
Nicki Minaj sparked new conversation on Presidents’ Day with an unusual gesture. On her social media channels, the 43-year-old shared photos generated using artificial intelligence that show Donald Trump in her company. The digital recordings present the US president in an outfit that is atypical for him: pink jacket, jeans studded with rhinestones and eye-catching jewelry – a look that is based on the characteristic aesthetic of Minaj’s fan base, the so-called “Barbz”.
A closer look at the images reveals that the AI version of Trump has apparently replaced her husband Kenneth Petty. A reflection in the window behind the Trump figure suggests that the original image was of Petty. The action once again highlights the increasing politicization and Trump positioning of the US artist.

From Critic to Advocate: Minaj’s Political Change
Nicki Minaj’s attitude towards Donald Trump has changed significantly in recent years. While she once made critical statements about the Trump administration and advocated for progressive issues, in January 2026 she described herself as probably “Trump’s biggest fan.”
On X, Minaj has often commented positively about Trump and his politics. She took an increasingly conservative stance, particularly in the context of immigration and economic issues. After her public declaration of support for Trump, she said she received a “Trump Gold Card” – a kind of VIP status that is intended to give her accelerated access to US citizenship. The artist is originally from Trinidad and Tobago.
Critical reactions from the music industry and fan base
Nicki Minaj’s support of Trump has met with clear criticism, particularly in the rap community. Numerous artists expressed disappointment at their loud, political stance. Cardi B, with whom Minaj has had conflicts in the past, commented on the development indirectly through posts about social justice and women’s rights.
Part of her fan base also reacted negatively to the political shift. Negative comments from long-time fans who have now distanced themselves from her were circulating on social media under the hashtag #NotMyBarb. However, other supporters defended Nicki Minaj and emphasized her right to have her own political opinion.
After all, Minaj, who enjoyed worldwide success with hits like “Super Bass,” “Anaconda” and “Starships,” has not yet released any explicitly political songs.
Trump and his prominent supporters
Donald Trump has not commented extensively on Nicki Minaj’s support, but he did mention her as a “talented artist” at an event.
Editorial recommendations
Traditionally, the relationship between Trump and the music industry has been tense, with the majority of prominent artists supporting Democratic candidates in the past. The few musicians who have publicly declared their support for Trump include rapper Kanye West or Ye, Kid Rock and country singer Lee Greenwood.
