Nicki Minaj Admits She Came To U.S. As An 'Illegal Immigrant At 5 Years Old

Nicki Minaj has been very vocal in her support of the Trump administration lately. She praised Donald, despite his anti-immigration agenda and denigrated Don Lemon for covering an ICE protest at a Minnesota church. but in 2018, she wrote, "I came to this country as an illegal immigrant @ 5 years old. I can’t imagine the horror of being in a strange place & having my parents stripped away from me at the age of 5. This is so scary to me. Please stop this. Can you try to imagine the terror & panic these kids feel right now?" The post is accompanied by a photo of kids on mats, some covered up with space blankets, in a large chain-link fenced-in cage. That post is far cry from her feelings today, when she responded positively to a clip of Katie Miller White House Homeland Security advisor Stephen Miller's wife as Katie promoted the SAVE Act, a bill meant to prevent "illegal aliens" from "voting and engaging in our democracy. The craziest part is, as recently as 2024, she's stated that she is not a U.S. citizen. In a TikTok Live Nicki said, "I was born on a beautiful island called Trinidad and Tobago. But I’ve been in the States for many years. You would think that with the millions of dollars that I’ve paid in taxes to this country that I would have been given an honorary citizenship many, many, many thousands of years ago.
