Jasmine Crockett lost her Texas Democratic Senate primary race to state Rep. James Talarico on March 3 after facing voting complications in Dallas County.

The congresswoman’s defeat sparked celebration among Nicki Minaj’s devoted Barbz community on social media. Crockett had recently criticized the rapper for supporting Trump’s administration, calling her a sellout during a TMZ interview.

The tension between Crockett and Nicki Minaj escalated when the congresswoman publicly stated her preference for Cardi B over the Queens rapper.

During her interview, Crockett explained her shift in perspective about Minaj’s recent political moves.

She said she couldn’t separate the artist from the person anymore, especially given the current circumstances affecting vulnerable communities.

In the TMZ interview, Crockett elaborated on her concerns about Minaj’s alignment with conservative politics.

“I just don’t do sellouts, especially in this moment, right? Like things are too serious. There are too many people that are being harmed and especially with her being an immigrant, then deciding to go and cozy up to this administration that is specifically putting targets on the backs of immigrants and anyone who stands with them,” Crockett stated.

She continued, “Even if they’re US citizens, they can catch a bullet. That is wrong.”

Crockett also expressed her long-standing preference for Cardi B, saying, “I have always loved Cardi more. Okay. And clearly my instincts were right to love on Cardi more than Nicki.”

The Barbz flooded social media with posts linking Crockett’s primary loss to what they described as a supernatural consequence for criticizing their favorite artist.

Some posts declared Nicki’s critics “losers in life,” while others highlighted Crockett’s joblessness following her defeat.

The Dallas County voting situation added complexity to the race’s outcome.

Crockett had warned supporters about precinct confusion and delayed vote counting on election night.

She alleged that voters faced disenfranchisement due to polling location mix-ups, with nearly two hundred people showing up at incorrect sites.

Despite these concerns, Crockett conceded to Talarico the following morning after the results finally came through.

Talarico will advance to face either incumbent Senator John Cornyn or state Attorney General Ken Paxton in the general election.
