Nicki Minaj has rubbed a few people up the wrong way in recent months, so much so that a petition has been started to deport her to Trinidad.
The Change.org petition has gone viral in the days since it was created, with more and more people calling for the rapper to be sent to Trinidad since she isn’t a United States citizen (per her claim on social media in 2024). As of press time, the petition has almost 70,000 signatures.
In the description for the petition, its creator "Pedonika Minaj" writes that the rapper is "currently spiraling out of control and seems to be experiencing psychosis." Additionally, the description lists its reasons Minaj should be deported as being that she has allegedly harassed the Carters (Beyoncé and Jay-Z), and is married to registered sex offender Kenneth Petty.
"Despite the gravity of his past actions, Minaj continues to fiercely defend [Petty], reportedly going as far as intimidating and threatening his victims," wrote the petition’s founder. "Such actions demonstrate a blatant disregard for the law and for the safety of others."
Minaj’s petition comes days after she made a surprise appearance at Turning Point USA where she made clear how much she supports President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance.
"This administration is full of people with heart and soul, and they make me proud of them. Our vice president, he makes me ... well, I love both of them," Minaj said. "Both of them have a very uncanny ability to be someone that you relate to."
Minaj’s Turning Point USA appearance has led to intense backlash in the days since, with celebrities like Joe Budden distancing themselves from her afterward.
The petition claims that Minaj harassed the Carters, which stems from her calling out Jay-Z for alleged blackballing attempts and owing her $20 million in her TIDAL equity stake.
As for her marriage to Kenneth Petty, the two have been married for six years. In 2024, when they celebrated five years of marriage, the rapper commemorated their relationship with an Instagram post.
"24 years after we first met. Love at first sight. I’m so proud of you. Thank you for catching me…every single time. Thank you for our little BFF (referring to their son)."
