Nicki Minaj is facing backlash following her remarks at the Turning Point USA event, AmericaFest, on December 21, where she praised Donald Trump. These comments have sparked controversy and led to a petition calling for her deportation to Trinidad, the country where she was born, in Saint James, Trinidad and Tobago.
A Change.org campaign demanding her deportation initially began during the summer, according to Baller Alert. The petition was started by Pedonika Minaj, who criticized the rapper for her recent behavior.
The petition claims that Nicki Minaj has been exhibiting signs of psychosis and described her actions as “erratic.” Supporters of the campaign argue that her behavior has prompted interventions on multiple occasions, making it a serious concern.
Critics also targeted her support for her husband, who was previously charged with sexual assault and held in custody. The petition specifically called out how she appeared to side with him despite the past allegations, raising further questions about her public behavior.
Minaj’s relationship has drawn significant criticism, as her husband, Kenneth Petty, is a registered s*x offender with a criminal past that raises serious concerns. Despite the severity of his history, Minaj has remained a staunch defender of him, with reports suggesting that she has even gone so far as to intimidate or threaten his alleged victims.
The petition has already collected more than 40,000 verified signatures, reflecting widespread public attention. Meanwhile, the Saturday Night Live star has remained silent, offering no comment on the controversy.

The petition argues that Nicki Minaj’s popularity does not give her the right to act beyond accepted legal and moral limits. Supporters of the campaign claim that her behavior poses a potential threat and insist that deportation is the only way to prevent further negative consequences.
The petition emphasizes that such a measure would protect American citizens and send a strong message that harassment and endorsing criminal behavior will not be tolerated. It calls on the authorities to act swiftly to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone affected.

The Trinidad-born rapper made waves when she appeared on stage alongside Erika Kirk, wife of Charlie Kirk, at a Turning Point USA event. Her presence and comments drew widespread attention, sparking debates about her political endorsements.
According to Black Enterprise, Nicki Minaj’s support for the organization faced criticism because of the controversial remarks previously made by its founder, which many considered offensive toward her and the Black community.

At the event, the RuPaul’s Drag Race star shared with Erika that she hadn’t really noticed the backlash online, admitting that she usually doesn’t dwell on criticism. Her casual approach highlighted how she navigates public opinion without letting it affect her personally.
During the conversation, Nicki Minaj also mentioned Vice President JD Vance, bringing him into the discussion. She elaborated on her views in a way that reflected her candid and unfiltered style, giving insight into her perspective on current political debates.

She also spoke fondly of the Vice President, emphasizing a personal connection. According to Minaj, both leaders have a rare ability to relate to people, which she finds inspiring and admirable.
Just days after the Turning Point USA event, several media outlets, including The Independent and NME, reported that Nicki Minaj’s Instagram page had been deactivated. Visitors to her account now see a message indicating that it is unavailable, though the exact reason for the deactivation has not been disclosed.
At the same time, the petition calling for action against Minaj continues to gain momentum, accumulating signatures rapidly. So far, neither Minaj nor her representatives have issued an official response to address the controversy or the growing campaign.
