Nicki Minaj sparked outrage at the 2026 Grammys with baseless claims about Trevor Noah, Jay-Z, and political figures, fueling backlash over her history of divisive remarks.

Rapper Nicki Minaj is facing renewed criticism after making controversial social media posts in response to Grammy host Trevor Noah's joke about her support for President Trump. She accused Noah of concealing his sexuality, questioned Jay-Z's relationships, and made unverified claims about satanic rituals and political sabotage. Her comments, combined with her public support for Trump and previous offensive remarks, sparked criticism of accountability and hypocrisy, particularly given her family's criminal history. Major collaborators have distanced themselves, and her influence in hip-hop has waned.
