Nicki Minaj previously clashed with California Governor Gavin Newsom online over discussions related to the transgender community.

Nicki Minaj shared that she does not have a problem with transgender individuals as long as they are adults. She discussed her perspective on the LGBTQ+ community during a conversation with Katie Miller in an interview released earlier this week. While explaining her viewpoint, Minaj compared gender affirming treatment for minors to the idea of her hypothetical 17 year old daughter asking for breast implants.

"I personally don't have an issue with the trans part of the LGBT at all. I am the biggest advocate for adults being able to do whatever the heck they want to do. They're adults. I don't care," she clarified. "I only mentioned something because, when it comes to children, I wouldn't even allow my 17-year-old daughter to get breast implants. 99% of parents would not let their 17-year-old child get breast implants. So, if you wouldn't let a child get breast implants, you're not gonna want them to get any kind of surgery."

She previously criticized support for transgender minors during an online exchange with California Gov. Gavin Newsom on X (formerly Twitter) back in December. “Imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids,” Minaj wrote at the time. “Haha. Not even a trans ADULT would run on that. Normal adults wake up & think they want to see HEALTHY, SAFE, HAPPY kids.”

Nicki Minaj's Support Of Donald Trump

Since her dispute with Gavin Newsom, Minaj has leaned further into political conversations. She made appearances at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest gathering and also attended Donald Trump's recent summit tied to his Trump Accounts initiative.

While discussing her growing interest in politics with Katie Miller, Minaj said she felt guided toward it long before now through what she described as a strong feeling. She said: “You know what, Katie? I think that people’s steps are aligned. I used to always tell people this when I was growing up, I had this strong premonition my whole life that I had a second job to do. And this was, by the way, before I even made it in rap. Something inside of me just told me I would have another thing to do. The first time I said it out loud or texted it was during the last campaign, the presidential campaign, this last one."

“I saw something…and I also said, this, all of this is making me want to get into politics,” she continued. “So the last thing that really did it was…the presidential campaign, and knowing that I could help because the things that I was saying, it was happening."
