Get ready for some tea spilling, because Nicki Minaj is in hot water! Fans and followers are buzzing after an avalanche of Change.org petitions are calling for the rap superstar to be deported back to her homeland, Trinidad and Tobago. What’s the scoop? Over 120,000 people are fired up, with the biggest petition racking up more than 83,000 signatures since its launch on July 9, 2025. Turns out, Nicki’s online beefing session with hip-hop mogul Jay-Z, aka Shawn Carter, might be setting social media on fire for all the wrong reasons!🔥
The drama doesn’t stop there. Three other petitions popped up last December after Nicki made a splash at AmericaFest alongside conservative activist Erika Kirk. The rapper caught major heat for her words, “Boys, be boys... There’s nothing wrong with being a boy,” which some felt betrayed her LGBTQ fans. This left them feeling icy cold. Brrr!❄️
Leading one of the strongest petitions is Tristan Hamilton, a 16-year-old from Chicago who’s got some serious organizing skills. With a jaw-dropping 41,000 names on his list, Hamilton is snapping back, claiming Nicki’s appearance alongside Kirk feels like she's siding with anti-trans sentiments. “Sending Nicki back to Trinidad would remind stars to think twice about their power and responsibility to be inclusive,” writes Hamilton. Wise words from Gen Z!💡
You’re probably wondering if this could actually happen. Well, Nicki moved from Trinidad to the U.S. at age 5, and while her citizenship status is a mystery, this isn’t the first convo she’s sparked on immigration. Remember, she made big waves before sharing her thoughts against family separations and immigration back in 2018. Nicki even said, “I’m not a citizen of America. Isn’t that crazy?” during a TikTok Live last year. 🤔
Our favorite editor’s picks remind us it’s important to note this debate is flaring up as Trump-era immigration policies are in play, with increased deportations sparking fear across multiple communities. 🚨 While some fans seem to be cooling on their ‘Black Barbies’ icon, Nicki Minaj's exact next move? Total mystery. Stick around, because this story might be far from over! 🍿
