The backlash over Nicki Minaj’s appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest continues with the latest report revealing a Change.org petition that requests the Queen of Rap’s deportation. AllHipHop published a report on December 27 about the petition.
A petition circulating across social media and fringe message boards urges U.S. authorities to remove the Trinidad-born artist from the country. This marks a new and surreal chapter in her public backlash.
The petition, which has now surpassed 12,000 signatures, stitches together a wide range of grievances. It accuses Minaj of harassment involving Jay-Z and Beyoncé, referred to as “the Carters,” and revives scrutiny of her husband, Kenneth Petty, a registered sex offender.
“Nicki Minaj is currently spiraling out of control and seems to be experiencing psychosis,” the petition states. It claims her “erratic behavior has led her to harass the Carters, a well-respected and completely innocent American family,” adding that her actions “warrant intervention on a societal level.”
A Petition For Nicki Minaj’s Deportation Launched On Change.org After AmericaFest
Petty’s criminal history is framed as a public safety issue. The petition alleges Minaj has “fiercely defend[ed] him,” even “going as far as intimidating and threatening his victims.” It concludes that her influence makes the situation “not just a personal grievance—it is a matter of public concern.”
The language escalates further, asserting that Minaj “poses a threat not only to the individuals she has targeted but potentially to the broader community.” The proposed solution? “Deporting Nicki Minaj back to her home country, Trinidad,” which the petition claims would “ensure the safety of American citizens.”
In a striking move, the document name-checks ICE, the FBI, White House officials, and even a Pentagon staffer, urging “immediate action.” None of those agencies have acknowledged the petition, and no legal authority has responded.
Despite the noise, there is no legal basis for deportation over political views or celebrity feuds. Minaj is a lawful U.S. resident, and immigration law does not bend to online outrage.
Still, the episode underscores how sharply public sentiment around Minaj has shifted. Once widely celebrated, she now sits at the center of a polarizing storm where politics, personal choices, and internet culture collide.
Deportation isn’t happening. But the petition stands as a loud symbol of how quickly admiration can curdle into hostility—especially in the digital age, where fame magnifies every move.
