Joined Trump’s ‘Side’ for Money & ‘Privileges’
Left-leaning pop star and Kamala Harris 2024 presidential candidate Lizzo claims rap megastar Nicki Minaj only joined President Donald Trump’s “side” because she sees it as “more profitable and beneficial,” predicting the public will begin to see “an influx” of celebrities following suit.
Rather than examine why Minaj would support President Trump, Lizzo oversimplified the issue by describing her as the “Super Bass” singer simply looking for “money” and certain “privileges.”
Watch below:
“So I’m getting texts about Nicki, and I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ I didn’t even know that,” Lizzo said, adding, “Then I did some research and saw what was going on, and I’ll put it like this: Celebrities’ opinions of other celebrities don’t matter — so my opinion of her doesn’t matter.
“But what I will tell you is that you’re about to see an influx of people who see that it’s more profitable and more beneficial to join that side. You’re going to see it. It’s already started and it’s going to continue,” the “Rumors” singer continued.
Lizzo went on to say, “We have three more years” of Trump’s presidency, during which time there will be “people who will surprise you,” suggesting that she knows there are quiet conservatives in the entertainment industry who might feel encouraged to make their opinions known in the years to come.
“This is going to hurt you,” Lizzo told her fans. “It will disappoint you.”
“And you have to know that there is money behind everything,” she added. “There is privilege behind every move people in these positions make, and I’m not surprised.”
Interestingly, Lizzo’s comments about Minaj indicate that the “Truth Hurts” singer — who supported Kamala Harris in the 2024 election — has a narrow view that no one could see any benefit in supporting a Republican president unless they had a financial incentive.
Additionally, some might view the pop star’s remark that “there’s money behind everything” as Lizzo — who fought for Democrats — inadvertently revealing that she may have known that celebrities can, in fact, be paid for political endorsements, including possibly by Democrats, something the left has denied.
But for decades, it has been widely believed that many conservatives in the entertainment industry deliberately hide or downplay their political views in public, strongly suggesting that they do not view openly supporting Republicans as beneficial to their careers, which exist in an industry dominated by the left.
Notably, Lizzo’s remarks come after Minaj took the stage at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest this past weekend, where she praised President Trump and said her presence at the event was more important than any concert she’s ever performed in the world, because slain conservative icon Charlie Kirk’s organization is “a direct link between young people and God.”
But Minaj also gave reasons why she supports Trump, citing the president’s intervention and taking the “mass massacre” of Christians in Nigeria by radical Islamists “seriously” – an issue close to her heart.
At Christmas, President Trump announced that he had ordered the United States to carry out a “powerful and deadly strike” against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria, whom he identified as responsible for targeting and killing innocent Christians at historically serious levels.
