LGBTQ+ celebs clap back at Nicki Minaj: 'If ICE is picking up people, they should get her!'

Advocate.com [Unofficial] March 19, 2026

This super freaky girl is getting called out.

Many celebrities were taken aback when Nicki Minaj decided to align herself with President Donald Trump during his current administration.

The rapper has even said that she's his "biggest fan" and has supported his hateful rhetoric toward the LGBTQ+ community, especially trans youth.

It's worth noting that Minaj's allyship with President Trump goes against her previous support for the queer community as Trump has taken action to significantly reduce federal funding for HIV/AIDS prevention programs.

Thankfully, the Elton John AIDS Foundation is committed to their essential work as their annual Academy Awards Viewing Party raised nearly 11 million dollars to fight stigma and offer more lifesaving medication to those in need.

While walking the red carpet at the iconic event, many outspoken queer stars voiced their disapproval of Minaj's recent betrayal and threw some flawless shade as well. Check out the responses below!
