Nicki Minaj Shares Shoutout For Trump’s 80th Birthday
On Sunday (June 14), Trump ushered in his 80th birthday with a UFC cage fight on the White House South Lawn. UFC reportedly spent over $60 million to stage the fight, which was temporarily delayed due to inclement weather. Additionally, at least seven federal agencies came together to contribute resources and manpower to the event. Trump was seen in photos attending the backyard event.
And while Trump celebrated his birthday with a professional tussle, his self-proclaimed #1 fan gave him his flowers online! In an X post, Minaj wrote “Happy 80th birthday Mr. President 🎉🎀.” The post included four seemingly AI-generated images. One shows her in a Marilyn Monroe getup, smiling next to Trump. Another shows her and Trump dressed in black hoodies with the caption, “Real recognize real.” A third image shows an animated version of Nicki Minaj and Donald Trump holding hands. Meanwhile, the fourth photo shows Nicki Minaj, Trump, Elon Musk, and Sydney Sweeney all dressed in hot pink, sitting in a luxury car with a pink interior. Trump appears to be making a hand sign as the remaining three mug for the camera.

Nicki Minaj’s tweet has been viewed over 9.9 million times since being posted at 8 p.m. eastern time on X. It’s also collected over 139,000 likes and nearly 6,000 replies. While some Barbz stood behind their Queen’s birthday shoutout, others in the replies shared everything from disappointment to jokes.

Nicki Minaj thank you for standing strong against those who have tried to bring you down. You are right to do what you want to do and to show other people that it doesn’t come down to skin color it comes down to Good and Evil it comes down to principles and what you want to be…

Nicki Has Been Standing Strong Behind Trump
As previously reported, Nicki Minaj stunned hip hop fans when she publicly aligned herself with President Trump in late 2025. She threw her support behind him at AmericaFest, expressing her admiration and respect for him. At one point, she credited him for inspiring hope to “beat the bad guys” while keeping his “integrity intact.”
Earlier this year, the White House invited her to speak at the Accounts Summit and President Trump introduced her, acknowledging that she’s “been such a great supporter” despite catching heat from “her community.” When she took the mic, Nicki Minaj returned the love and praise, denounced any “bullying” of the president and said “God is protecting him.”
