Nicki Minaj fans say they're leaving Democrat Party as rapper's politics spark backlash and praise

Several self-identified fans, often known as the "Barbz," said on X that Minaj's stance had influenced their own political thinking.

Another fan account posted, "Officially a Republican!!!!!!! I'll never vote for a democrat ever again," alongside a photo of Minaj and Trump. The post also surpassed 300,000 views.

A third account wrote, "MAGA BARBZ IT IS I will never vote dem again!!" in a post that drew more than 70,000 views.

Tyler Bowyer of Turning Point Action also weighed in, writing on X, "Nicki Minaj should go on tour and we can all help register tens of thousands of new voters through her concerts."

Some critics have argued that Minaj's alignment with Trump is motivated by a desire to secure pardons for her brother and husband. Minaj has pushed back on that narrative, saying that criticism of her political views "motivates me to support him more."

Despite the flurry of online discussion, it remains unclear whether the social media posts will translate into voter registration or turnout.

Fox News Digital reached out to Minaj's representatives for comment but did not receive a response by publication time.
