Nicki Minaj Fans Say They’re Switching to Republican Party
Newsweek

Nicki Minaj fans, known as “The Barbz,” are sharing their intentions online to switch to the Republican Party, following Minaj’s public shift to the right and alignment with the Trump administration.

“Today is the day I switch to republican,” one Minaj fan wrote on X in a post viewed over 300,000 times, as Minaj’s pivot encourages her fans to follow suit.

Minaj has previously spoken out against President Donald Trump on multiple occasions during his first term. But his second term in office has been a different story for the Super Bass hitmaker.

6. If you switch parties on a dime because of a celeb, I doubt you are a voter
