Generally, Nicki Minaj is in the news because of her upcoming music or personal life drama. However, this time, the American singer and rapper is in the headlines for a controversial reason. According to reports from The Mirror, the musician is facing significant backlash on social media after she shared a set of awkward AI-generated images featuring Donald Trump and herself to celebrate Presidents’ Day.
The report reveals that Minaj is facing widespread criticism after she posted a set of unusual-looking AI-made pictures. The photos feature her sitting alongside the American President. She posted these images to celebrate Presidents’ Day with followers on social media. However, these cringeworthy and embarrassing images did not sit well with the users, who did not hesitate at all to express their annoyance and fury over these images in the comments of her viral post on X.
On Monday, February 16, Nicki took to her official X account. She posted a slew of strange-looking photographs that display her sitting in a car alongside President Donald Trump. In the photo, the duo is sitting inside the car, wearing color-coordinated and matching pink attire. They are counting the bundles of money. However, looking at the photos, it is clear that these images are not the original ones; they were created using AI technology. Her caption for this post read, “Happy #PresidentsDay.”

A user, taking potshots at the set of bizarre photos featuring Minaj and Trump, wrote, “Nb pro is just real life now. doesn’t matter if something actually happened or it didn’t. so, get off the internet. what use is it being here?.” A second person, indirectly comparing the rapper-singer to Kanye and mocking the photos, added, “Atleast Kanye has a head injury excuse you just crazy.”

He stated that Facebook will display these images with a startling headline that calls Trump the new sugar daddy of Minaj, adding how the duo is having a happy time together.
His tweet mentioned, “Facebook will be like: Donald Trump has officially accepted to be Nicki Minaj’s Sugar daddy. They’re happily having a ride together ❤️.” Meanwhile, a fifth user, sharing how she cannot believe that the American rap queen is shocking people with her tweet, added, “I can’t 😩 the queen really knows how to get the people going 😂 it’s provocative 🤨.”
For those unaware, the 43-year-old rapper and singer’s name was recently in the news for all the wrong reasons. She has been facing immense backlash after publicly expressing support for the President and other pivotal MAGA clan figures, even opening up on her stance at the United Nations on behalf of Trump. Recently, she even proclaimed herself to be the biggest and number one ‘fan’ of the President as she made an appearance to support him at Washington, D.C. in January 2026 for the crucial Trump Accounts Summit event.
