Overview
- The Change.org petition titled “Deport Nicki Minaj to Trinidad” has surpassed 50,000 verified signatures, according to the petition page.
- The campaign gained traction after Minaj’s Dec. 21 Turning Point USA appearance in Phoenix, where she praised President Donald Trump.
- Petition text alleges erratic behavior and emphasizes husband Kenneth Petty’s registered–sex–offender status, presenting these claims as grounds for action.
- Online reaction is sharply divided, with some users unfollowing or blocking Minaj on Spotify and X and others rejecting deportation rhetoric on principle.
- Reporters and legal commentators emphasize that such petitions have no binding authority, and Minaj has not publicly responded.
