Nicki Minaj is once again courting backlash for aligning with the Trump administration’s anti-trans agenda.
This time, the musician is in a seemingly one-sided feud with California Governor Gavin Newsom.
On Friday, December 12, Minaj shared an X post referencing Newsom’s December 11 appearance on The Ezra Klein Show, in which he said, “I want to see trans kids… There’s no governor that’s done more pro-trans legislation than I have.”
“Imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids. Haha,” Minaj wrote. “Not even a trans ADULT would run on that. Normal adults wake up & think they want to see HEALTHY, SAFE, HAPPY kids. Not Gav. The Gav Nots. GavOUT. Send in the next guy, I’m bored.”
From there, she continued to slam the governor in a series of X posts.
“Gavin is the cute boy who got everything handed to him b/c of how cute & sexy & hot & smoking he was,” she wrote. “[…] He thinks he’s Tom Cruise only difference is, his next mission IS impossible. He should get another leading role.”
“Oh Gavvy pooh, it only gets worse from here for you, buddy,” Minaj continued in yet another post. She went on to seemingly reference Newsom’s interest in running in the 2028 presidential election, adding, “Get on the nearest jet ski & let that beautiful hair blow in the wind. It will make you happier than this race that you will not win.”
