Donald Trump celebrated his 80th birthday on Sunday (June 14), and among those to wish the president a happy birthday was Nicki Minaj.
The Queens rapper, who has raved about the president and his administration for the better part of a year, posted a collection of four images to X on Sunday, featuring AI-generated likenesses of herself alongside Trump.
“Happy 80th birthday Mr. President,” Minaj wrote. One image features the pair at a ballroom event while another pictures Minaj and Trump as animated characters. There’s even a fake photo of Minaj and the president riding around with tech giant Elon Musk and actress Sydney Sweeney in the backseat.
Minaj’s replies were filled with fans questioning the Trump-dedicated post. “Now Nicki Minaj what tha hell is this?” one person responded.
Billboard has reached out to the White House and reps for Musk and Sweeney for comment.
It’s not the first time Minaj has posted an AI-generated photo with Trump; she also did so in February while celebrating President’s Day, sharing an image of the two in a convertible.
The “Super Bass” rapper has gushed about her being a fan of Trump since making the MAGA pivot in 2025. Minaj met the president for the first time in January at a Trump Accounts Summit, where she called herself the president’s biggest supporter.
“I am probably the president’s No. 1 fan,” she said at the time. “And that’s not going to change. What people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more. And it’s going to motivate all of us to support him more.”
Minaj spoke to TIME in May about how she used to be a closeted Trump fan, and was afraid to publicly support the twice-impeached president amid possible backlash from the music industry.
“I felt that way already about him, just that I didn’t dare act like that publicly,” she told the magazine. “It’s been ingrained in everyone’s brain in the music business that we are supposed to be a Democratic family. I just knew they would not like me supporting Trump.”
Minaj continued: “Many celebrities feel the way I do, but they don’t say it. Sometimes you just need one brave person to get the brunt of the impact. I think I am the catalyst for that change. Hopefully, when they see me and hear me speak and feel my energy.”
Trump spent his 80th birthday on Sunday hosting the UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House’s South Lawn, which became the first-ever UFC event in history to feature a knockout in all seven fights on the card.
