Nicki Minaj Faces Deportation Petition Following AmericaFest Appearance
Nicki Minaj is facing online backlash after appearing at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, where her comments sparked a petition calling for her deportation.
The petition has gathered tens of thousands of signatures from critics who say her political stance no longer matches the views she once supported.
Her background quickly became part of the debate, as Minaj was born in Trinidad and Tobago and has said she is not yet a US citizen, though the petition carries no legal weight.
The reaction intensified after she praised President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance during the event, along with comments about Christian persecution in Nigeria.
Fans responded with mixed reactions, some expressing disappointment while others defended her right to her views.
Minaj has not addressed the backlash.
Even so, the controversy continues to trend online, keeping her name at the center of political and pop culture debate.
