Nicki Minaj’s MAGA Pivot Shines at SpaceX Starship Debacle
TL;DR Summary
MAGA rapper Nicki Minaj made a conspicuous MAGA-friendly cameo at SpaceX’s Starbase during a Starship launch that was canceled due to a hydraulic pin malfunction. Elon Musk said another attempt would come the next day as SpaceX staff riffed on her hit lyrics. Minaj has publicly aligned with Donald Trump since 2025, appeared at Turning Point USA events and even held hands with the president at a White House moment, while insisting she once hid her political beliefs to keep fans — a move that highlights the optics around her MAGA pivot amid SpaceX’s ongoing starship testing.
