In a recent development, pop icon Lizzo, who is supporting Kamala Harris's 2024 presidential campaign, has suggested that rapper Nicki Minaj's alignment with President Donald Trump is driven by financial gain and perceived benefits.
According to Breitbart, Lizzo speculated that Minaj's support for Trump is purely a pursuit of "money" and "privileges," dismissing any deeper motivations. She remarked, "So Im getting texts, like, about Nicki, and Im like, What are you talking about? I didnt even know," before adding, "Then I researched and saw what was going on, and Im gonna say it like this: celebrities opinions of other celebrities does not matter so my opinion of her does not matter."
Lizzo further predicted a trend of celebrities gravitating towards Trump, stating, "But what I will tell you is youre about to see an influx of people who see that it is more profitable and more beneficial to join that side. Youre gonna see it. It already started, and its going to continue."
Lizzo's comments suggest that she believes the entertainment industry harbors closet conservatives who might soon reveal their political leanings. She warned her fans, "Its going to hurt your feelings. Its going to disappoint you."
Her assertion that "theres money behind everything" hints at a broader critique of celebrity endorsements, possibly implying that financial incentives play a role in political support, a notion often denied by the left.
The entertainment industry has long been dominated by liberal voices, with many conservative figures choosing to remain silent about their political beliefs. This environment has fostered a perception that openly supporting Republican figures could be detrimental to one's career.
Lizzo's remarks come in the wake of Minaj's appearance at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest, where she lauded Trump and emphasized the significance of the event over any concert she has performed, highlighting the organization's connection between youth and faith.
Minaj has articulated her support for Trump, citing his proactive stance on the "mass slaughter" of Christians in Nigeria by radical Islamists as a key reason. This issue resonates deeply with Minaj, who praised Trump for directing a "powerful and deadly strike" against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria, a move aimed at protecting innocent Christians.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, the intersection of celebrity influence and political endorsements remains a contentious topic. Lizzo's comments underscore the complexities of navigating political affiliations in an industry where liberal ideologies often prevail.
Meanwhile, Minaj's vocal support for Trump challenges the conventional narrative, suggesting that personal convictions and global issues can transcend partisan lines.
