Leftists Petition To Deport Nicki Minaj For Attending Turning Point Event

Is there something fundamentally wrong with a celebrity being conservative?  According to the political left, such a prospect calls for immediate and uncompromising punishment from the woke cult.  After all, conservative movie and music stars are rare for a reason – They get blacklisted.

The cancel mob is still around despite numerous political defeats in recent years, and now they want to collect the head of singer Nicki Minaj for their trophy room.  Minaj came to the US as a child immigrant from Trinidad to join her legal immigrant parents.  The sponsorship status from her family members allows her to reside in the country. 

However, because she has not yet received a green card, leftists believe that this is an opportunity to challenge the Trump Administration to “live up to its deportation policies” and remove Minaj from the US.  In other words, it’s the classic Alinsky tactic of attempting to make their opponents seem like hypocrites because they won’t apply their principles universally.

Several Change.org petitions to deport Nicki Minaj to her native Trinidad and Tobago have amassed more than 120,000 signatures combined. The most popular petition – garnering over 83,000 signatures – started on July 9, 2025. There are also at least three other petitions created between Dec. 21 and 28, 2025, that coincide with Minaj’s Dec. 21 appearance alongside conservative activist Erika Kirk at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, where the rapper praised President Donald Trump’s administration.

One petition argues that that:

“Minaj has left her LGBTQ fans “feeling deeply betrayed,” (Referring to to Minaj’s AmericaFest comment that “Boys, be boys…There’s nothing wrong with being a boy.”) 

“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…”

“It’s not just about one person’s fall from grace; it’s about holding everyone to a standard of compassion and consistency, especially when they possess significant influence.”

Some conservatives also treated Minaj’s appearance at Turning Point as “controversial”, largely because of her liberal history and sexualized content.  But Minaj has been at odds with the progressive establishment for years, and took substantial risks when she spoke against the pandemic mandates and experimental vaccines.  

It is likely that the leftist establishment’s attacks on Minaj only pushed her to become more conservative and this was a common theme during covid.  Middle of the road liberals found themselves under siege by people they thought were their friends because they dared to question the narrative, and this drove them to join MAGA. 

The political left is obsessed with celebrity status, not because they are avid consumers of pop culture media, but because they view each individual celebrity as a tool that can be exploited for the benefit of the progressive hive.  In other words, they salivate over the idea of taking control of a celebrity’s “platform” and gaining access to the minds of their fans.

Throughout the last decade we have heard the same argument from woke leftists over and over again when an actor or singer goes rogue:  “They have a responsibility to use their platform to spread the progressive message of “equity”.  Their platform should be used for the greater good.”

It’s important to understand that celebrities are political slaves in the modern world fusion of Marxism and corporatism.  And, if a Hollywood star or a pop icon breaks from the plantation, this is seen as a betrayal of the highest order.  The celebrity becomes a heretic who must be ostracized, condemned, humiliated and destroyed.  They only exist to serve the spread of the woke message.

Of course, the leftists greatly overestimated the influence of the rich and famous in American politics today.  Kamala Harris and the Democrats built her entire 2024 campaign around the notion that each celebrity endorsement was guaranteed to win her millions of votes from captured fans.  Their plan failed miserably because they refused to recognize that celebrities have lost most of their social influence exactly because the public knows most of them are bought and paid for.

The petitions to have Minaj deported from the US have no bearing whatsoever on the decisions of the White House.  They are, though, a perfect example of how the political left tries to take ownership of pop icons and their behavior as a means to control the minds of their fans.
