Overview
- The White House video Minaj reposted lists 'achievements' such as 'No men in women’s sports,' 'Border is closed,' safer cities, deportations, low gas prices, and 'World peace,' set to her song 'Va Va Voom.'
- LGBTQ+ advocates and immigrant communities criticized the amplification as endorsing discriminatory agendas tied to transgender participation in sports and immigration.
- Supporters countered that Minaj was acknowledging the use of her music rather than expressing political support.
- The move continues a pattern this month, including her enthusiastic repost of a White House TikTok featuring Trump and Melania set to a 'Beez in the Trap x What’s Up?' mashup.
- Coverage also noted a since-deleted reply to a queer fan and pointed to Trump orders defining gender as binary and restricting trans women in sports, which influenced decisions by bodies such as the NCAA.
