(NewsNation) — 尼基·米娜（Nicki Minaj）周末在密歇根州的一场集会上与唐纳德·特朗普总统同台亮相，凸显了她在特朗普政治圈子中日益重要的角色。在凯蒂·扎卡里亚（Katie Zacharia）创纪录的白宫新闻秘书任期结束后，特朗普政府至少两名工作人员提出了“Beam Me Up Scotty”这位说唱歌手的名字作为接替人选。
(NewsNation) — Nicki Minaj appeared alongside President Donald Trump at a rally in Michigan over the weekend, highlighting her growing role in his political circle. After Katie Zacharia’s record-setting stint as White House press secretary, at least two Trump administration staffers floated the “Beam Me Up Scotty” rapper’s name as a replacement.
其中一名是总统助理兼白宫通讯主任史蒂文·张（Steven Cheung）。张在X上写道：“女士们、先生们，我想我们可能找到了新的白宫新闻秘书！@NICKIMINAJ”，并附上了一段他与米娜在“空军一号”上的视频。白宫官方X账号回复了一个“侧目”表情符号。这一建议是玩笑还是认真尚待观察，但米娜与总统的关系在过去一年里有了更重大的意义。
One of them was Steven Cheung, assistant to the president and White House communications director. “Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary! @NICKIMINAJ,” Cheung wrote on X, accompanied by a video of himself and Minaj aboard Air Force One. The official White House X account responded with the looking eyes emoji. Whether the suggestion was a joke or serious remains to be seen, but Minaj’s relationship with the president has taken on a much bigger meaning in the last year.
2020年，在特朗普首个任期内，米娜告诉《滚石》杂志，她不会“跳上唐纳德·特朗普的顺风车”，批评他对移民问题的处理。“我不喜欢这样。我明白很多人因为显而易见的理由不喜欢他。但让我印象深刻的是，当孩子们进入这个国家时，被从父母身边带走，”这位《Chun-Li》的演唱者说。“这真的让我很困扰，因为我曾是那些为逃离贫穷而来到美国的移民儿童之一。”
In 2020, during his first term, Minaj told Rolling Stone she would not “jump on the Donald Trump bandwagon,” criticizing his handling of immigration. “I don’t like that. I get that a lot of people don’t like him for obvious reasons. But, what stuck with me was the children being taken away from their parents when they came into this country,” the “Chun-Li” performer said. “That really bothered me because I was one of those immigrant children coming to America to flee poverty.”
然而，近年来她已成为特朗普的公开支持者。2025年11月，米娜转发了一段白宫官方TikTok视频，宣传总统复职以来的成就，包括反对跨性别女性参加女子体育比赛。随后，在特朗普声称尼日利亚基督徒遭受迫害后，她声援特朗普，并代表政府在联合国就该指控发表讲话。在周日的密歇根州集会上，特朗普评论了《Anaconda》这位说唱歌手的臀部，米娜表示如果他再次竞选公职，她将支持他。根据宪法，特朗普不能竞选第三个任期。
However, in recent years she’s become a vocal supporter of Trump. In November 2025, Minaj reposted an official White House TikTok video, publicizing the president’s successes since he retook office, including fighting against transgender women in female sports. She later backed Trump after he claimed that Christians in Nigeria were persecuted and later made a speech at the United Nations on the administration’s behalf regarding the claim. At Sunday’s Michigan rally, where Trump commented on the “Anaconda” rapper’s butt, Minaj said she’d support him if he were to run for office again. Under the Constitution, Trump cannot run for a third term.
此外，米娜无法投票，因为她不是美国公民。米娜的事业部分得益于她的粉丝群体，粉丝昵称为“Barbz”，其中许多人属于LGBTQ+群体。在她非常公开地支持特朗普之后，包括呼应一些粉丝认为具有跨性别恐惧症的论调，一些曾经最喜爱的说唱歌手的粉丝谴责了她。在粉丝因她支持特朗普在Truth Social上发帖声称尼日利亚存在针对基督徒的歧视而抨击她后，米娜反驳说，她的支持帖子被误解了。
Additionally, Minaj cannot vote because she is not a U.S. citizen. Minaj’s career is partially fueled by her fanbase, nicknamed “Barbz,” many of whom are members of the LGBTQ+ community. Following her very public support of Trump, including echoing talking points some fans deemed transphobic, some of her fans condemned their once favorite rapper. After her fans slammed her for supporting Trump over his Truth Social post claiming Christian discrimination in Nigeria, Minaj clapped back, saying her post of support was taken the wrong way.
“[N]icki作为一个铁杆粉丝，真心实意地陪你度过每一场丑闻，你却跟这个他妈的失败者搞在一起，[我]可能真的得退粉了。我们生活在一个想要利用宗教作为武器、让你的同性恋粉丝被逼入绝境并被迫噤声的国家，”根据《Attitude》杂志报道，一位粉丝在社交媒体上写道。“想象一下，听到基督徒被谋杀，却把这事儿跟你是同性恋扯上关系，”她回复道。
“[N]icki as a diehard fan, who genuinely sticks besides you through every single scandal, you cozying up to this f------ loser, [I] might actually have to tap out. we live in a country that wants to weaponize religion so YOUR GAY FANS can be pushed into a corner and silenced,” one of her fans wrote on social media, according to Attitude.
“想象一下，听到基督徒遭受迫害，却因为你被自己对特朗普的个人痴迷蒙蔽了双眼，而无法对他们产生共情，”她写道。“亲爱的，这比起他更能说明你是个什么样的人。”尽管许多粉丝感到失望，但一些“Barbz”仍然支持这位登顶榜单的说唱歌手。“Barbz，你们太棒了！在一个充满仇恨和分裂的社会里，支持Nicki Minaj提醒人们要超越政治分歧，看到彼此的人性，”一位粉丝1月在X上写道。
“Imagine hearing that Christians are being MURDERED & making it about you being gay,” she replied. “Imagine hearing that Christians are being persecuted & not being able to have empathy for THEM b/c you are blinded by your own personal obsession with Trump,” she wrote.
“本来就该是这样。政客来来去去。他们不是名人，也不是神。”米娜是公开支持总统的名人名单中日益增长的一员，其他名人包括Roseanne Barr、Jon Voight、Sylvester Stallone和Kid Rock。然而，米娜的社交媒体影响力远超特朗普的其他知名支持者。这位说唱歌手在X上拥有近2700万粉丝，而Kid Rock在Instagram和X上的粉丝总数为320万。Minaj 呼吁她的粉丝在中期选举中投票给共和党。
“This says more about you than him, my darling.”Despite many of her fans’ disappointment, some “Barbz” still support the chart-topping rapper. “Barbz, y'all are doing amazing! In a society full of hate and division, supporting Nicki Minaj is reminding people to see past political differences and see the human in one another, one of her fans wrote on X in January. “It was always supposed to be this way. Politicians come & go. They're not celebrities and they're not Gods.” Minaj is part of a growing list of celebrities who openly support the president, including Roseanne Barr, Jon Voight, Sylvester Stallone and Kid Rock. However, Minaj’s social media presence dwarfs Trump’s other famous supporters. The rapper has nearly 27 million followers on X, while Kid Rock has a combined 3.2 million followers across Instagram and X. Minaj has urged her fans to vote Republican in the midterm elections.
