Actor Billy Porter didn’t mince words when asked his opinion on Nicki Minaj’s public support of Donald Trump.
“F—k her,” said Porter (several times) while on the red carpet for the MusiCares’ 2026 Person of the Year Gala. Porter, who’d been speaking with Hollywood Unlocked, made it clear he’s not a fan of Nicki Minaj’s shift toward the far-right. “When people show you who they are the first time,” Porter says. “Believe them.”
He then went on to shame Minaj, as well as the other celebrities who’ve been aligning themselves with Trump. “I’m out,” Porter says, implying that any support he had for Minaj has gone out the window.
Nicki Minaj and Don Lemon Trade Shots
Porter isn’t the only public figure to call out Nicki Minaj’s support of Donald Trump.
Not long ago, former CNN Anchor Don Lemon and Minaj became embroiled in a heated back-and-forth online. It all started after Lemon covered a story on a group of protestors who stormed a Minnesota church after it was discovered that one of its pastors had ties to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Lemon, who had been reporting via his livestream, confronted a pastor about the church’s connections to the group. Not long after the clip began to circulate online, it somehow reached Nicki Minaj’s timeline.
Minaj called the long-time journalist a “c—cksucker,” and pleaded for him to be jailed. “DON ‘COCK SUCKIN’ LEMON IS DISGUSTING. HOW DARE YOU?” she wrote in an X post. I WANT THAT THUG IN JAIL!!!!! HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO ANY OTHER RELIGION. LOCK HIM UP!!!!!” Lemon told TMZ he’s not “surprised” about Nicki’s actions. “[She] does not understand journalism and is weighing in on matters that are above her capacity.”
