It turns out that actions actually have consequences.
Who knew?
Nicki Minaj is currently finding this out the hard way.
Over 120,000 people are officially done with the 43-year-old rapper.
According to reports, there are multiple Change.org petitions circulating to deport her back to Trinidad and Tobago.
The most popular one has already racked up 83,000 signatures.
And honestly, the irony is thick enough to cut with a knife.
Cozying Up to the Leopard Party
This mess really kicked into high gear when Nicki decided to align herself with conservative activist Erika Kirk.
Because nothing says “woman of the people” like hanging out with the far-right elite.
On December 21, Nicki graced the stage at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest.
She walked out to “Super Bass” holding hands with the late Charlie Kirk’s wife.
It’s a scene that feels like a fever dream.
She even told Erika: “I’m honored to be here, thank you for having me.”
Honored to be at a convention that generally despises everything about the culture she profits from?
Make it make sense.
The Fans Strike Back
The backlash was swift and brutal.
While the big petition started back on July 9, 2025, the numbers exploded after her MAGA lovefest.
A newer petition created on December 27 has already been signed by 45,351 people.
The author, Tristan Hamilton, didn’t hold back.
He wrote: “Nicki Minaj’s actions and words have taken a turn that has left many of her supporters and those who once found solace in her music feeling deeply betrayed.”
It’s almost like betraying your core demographic is a bad business move.
Hamilton continues: “Deporting Nicki Minaj back to Trinidad would serve as a reminder that public figures need to be accountable for their words and the broader impact they have on diverse communities.”
The Ultimate Hypocrisy
Here is where it gets really rich.
Nicki Minaj is an immigrant herself.
She was born Onika Tanya Maraj in Trinidad and Tobago.
In 1987, she moved to the Bronx with her mom, Carol.
At that time, she was an “illegal alien.”
As of late 2025, she still does not have U.S. citizenship.
In 2018, she actually used her platform to call out the Trump administration’s family separation policy.
She reportedly wrote: “I came to this country as an illegal immigrant. I can’t imagine the horror of being in a strange place & having my parents stripped away from me at the age of 5,”
She knew the struggle firsthand.
Back in 2020, she even pronounced that she was “not gonna jump on the Trump bandwagon.”
Fast forward seven years.
Now she tells Erika: “I love both [Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance].”
It is a masterclass in selling out.
The Legal Reality Check
So, can the MAGA crowd’s new favorite prop actually be deported?
Unfortunately for the petitioners, probably not.
U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services confirms she holds a green card.
That permanent resident card allows her to live and work here.
But the real kicker is the First Amendment.
The ACLU notes: “Criticizing U.S. foreign policy, or voicing any other opinion, is protected by the First Amendment – no matter your immigration status,”
So she is safe to praise the very people who would likely have hated her 1987 self.
She gets to stay in the country.
But she might have lost the culture forever.
