Lizzo has publicly addressed the recent political shift of Nicki Minaj toward MAGA-aligned figures, speaking in a now-deleted video on social media and subsequent comments about the evolving landscape of celebrity political engagement. The “Truth Hurts” singer responded to questions about Minaj’s high-profile appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, where the rapper praised former President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance and joined Erika Kirk, CEO of TPUSA, on stage. Lizzo did not directly criticize Minaj herself, framing her response instead around a broader pattern she predicts among celebrities.

Lizzo suggested that Minaj’s actions reflect a moment in which entertainers may increasingly choose to align with conservative politics for perceived benefits, saying that more public figures are likely to “see that it is more profitable and more beneficial to join that side,” adding that this trend has already begun and will continue over the next several years of the current administration. She emphasized that there are financial incentives and privileges behind such shifts, framing them as part of a wider celebrity trend rather than isolated to one individual.

Her remarks come amid ongoing controversy over Minaj’s political stance and the reactions it has drawn across social media and within the entertainment community. Minaj’s appearance at the conservative event and outspoken praise for Republican leaders have sparked criticism from fans and peers alike, with debates intensifying about the implications of her alignment and how it might influence public perception of artists engaging in political discourse.

The discussion continues to unfold as Lizzo’s comments circulate online, contributing to broader conversations about celebrity influence, political affiliations, and the intersection of culture and politics in the current moment.
