She is now a MAGAt, gag:





Minaj has advocated for religious freedom and against political persecution. In 2015, she commented on the Charleston church shooting, in which multiple people were murdered in a church. In 2018, Minaj spoke out against Trump's deportation of immigrants, posting on Facebook "I can’t imagine the horror of being in a strange place & having my parents stripped away from me at the age of 5. This is so scary to me. Please stop this. Can you try to imagine the terror & panic these kids feel right now?". In 2020, she supported End SARS, a series of protests against police brutality in Nigeria, stating: "Standing with & praying for the brave young people of Nigeria who are on the front lines of this senseless violence. Your voice is being heard."

In a 2023 interview, Minaj said, "I'm one of those people who doesn't go with a crowd. I like to make my own assessment of everything without help from everyone." She rejected being told who she should campaign for, stating: "there's a lot we don't know that's going on in the government, and I don't think it changes whether you lean to the left or right."

In November 2025, Minaj denounced violence against Christians in Nigeria in a social media post: "No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion ... We don't have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other." She later delivered a speech at the United Nations advocating for an end to the religious violence, stating: "Sadly, this problem is not only a growing problem in Nigeria, but also in so many other countries around the world ... religious freedom means we all sing our faith regardless of who we are, where we live and what we believe." Her remarks gained media attention, particularly for her support of sitting U.S. President Donald Trump's stance on the issue. In December 2025, Minaj criticized California governor Gavin Newsom's statement that he wants "to see trans kids", commenting: "Imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids.... Not even a trans ADULT would run on that. Normal adults wake up & think they want to see healthy, safe, happy kids."

She was later interviewed by Erika Kirk at a Turning Point USA conference, where she commented on various topics, including her journey as a Christian and the reasons she chose to speak out on these issues. Minaj said that those who are intolerant of people worshiping God should not be in power. On why her decision was seen as controversial, she stated:




On why she spoke up, Minaj stated that she "got tired of being pushed around ... then you realize 'I have something inside of me that's stronger than what's out there'", adding, "In a world that doesn't want us to think, we will think. By ourselves, on our own." Subsequent to these events, media outlets characterized Minaj's views as having become more conservative, contrasting them with her previous criticism of the anti-immigration policies enacted during the first presidency of Donald Trump.
