Nicki Minaj has sparked reactions after sharing why she believes she is not transphobic. Additionally, the rapper shared why she chose to place her support behind Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, February 3, a new episode of the ‘Katie Miller Pod’ was released via YouTube and featured Nicki Minaj as a guest. As the conversation opened, Minaj explained that she placed her support behind President Donald Trump after seeing “how he was being treated.”
“I felt that that same — a lot of that bullying and the smear campaigns, and all of that lying — I felt like that had been done to me for so many years. And I was watching it in real time happen to someone else, and I didn’t think he deserved it,” Minaj explained.
As the conversation continued, Minaj seemed to note that Trump expressed to her his respect for her fanbase and the LGBTQ+ community. Around nine minutes into the interview, Minaj shared her own stance, explaining that although she disagrees with pro-trans rhetoric being pushed in schools, she is not transphobic. Furthermore, she stated that she believes “adults” should be able to do what they’d like with their bodies.

While Instagram user @804.saucy added, “Yall not following … what she’s saying is kids shouldn’t have the option at such a young age to change their gender when they don’t even know what they want yet”
Before Nicki Minaj shared that she’s not transphobic, she raised eyebrows with her apparent political alignment with Donald Trump. As The Shade Room previously reported, in November 2025, Minaj appeared at the United Nations. There, she noted her support of Donald Trump speaking on the alleged Christian persecution in Nigeria.
Then, earlier this month, Minaj appeared at the Trump Account Summit. Additionally, she said she was the president’s “number one fan” and even held his hand.
