Lizzo is weighing in on the growing controversy surrounding Nicki Minaj’s recent political appearances in support of the MAGA movement.
The “About Damn Time” singer addressed the topic after a follower asked how she felt about Minaj’s recent public alignment with conservative political spaces. Lizzo made it clear she “isn’t surprised” by the direction Minaj has taken.
The Pink Friday rapper recently made an appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona. During her appearance, she sat down for a Q&A with Turning Point CEO, Erika Kirk. Erika is also the widow of late right-wing MAGA personality, Charlie Kirk.
“Celebrities opinions of other celebrities does not matter,” Lizzo started. “But what I will tell you…you’re about to see an influx of people who see that it is more profitable and more beneficial to join that side. You’re gonna see it. It already started, and it’s going to continue.”
She went on to predict that fans should prepare for more surprises as time progresses into Donald Trump’s duration as commander in chief.
“This is Trump’s first year as president. We’ve got three more years of people who are going to surprise you. It’s gonna hurt your feelings, and disappoint you,” she said. “There’s money behind everything. There are privileges behind every move that people in these positions make.”
