Collaborating with the Trump administration is damaging to Nicki Minaj's reputation among her core fanbase.

“Cuz she's turn she's turning a lot of people against her and I I hope it's for a reason that she really feels for and not just doing it for press or not doing it for any other reason cuz I see a lot of the Barbz really turning on her.”

Nicki Minaj likely has a specific strategy for her participation in the event despite the public backlash.

“Well, you know, we all we've always seen Nicki march to the beat of her own drum. So, I mean I I feel like she know what she doing. That don't make it right, but I feel like she know exactly what she doing.”
