Lizzo Weighs In on Nicki Minaj MAGA Fallout and Erika Kirk Controversy

Lizzo is adding her voice to the growing conversation surrounding Nicki Minaj, MAGA politics, and the recent headlines tied to Turning Point USA’s Erika Kirk.

While the GRAMMY-winning singer stopped short of directly attacking Minaj, her comments painted a sobering picture of what she believes is unfolding across celebrity culture.

Speaking candidly, the star framed the moment as part of a larger shift rather than an isolated controversy.

Full story below…

Lizzo began by explaining how she initially learned about the situation.

“I’m getting texts about Nicki, and I’m like, what are you talking about? I didn’t even know. Then I researched and saw what was going on.”

From there, the conversation broadened beyond any one individual.

“I’m going to say it like this. Celebrities’ opinions of other celebrities do not matter. I’m telling you, it doesn’t matter. So my opinion of her does not matter.”

However, the Houston native made it clear that what does matter is the larger trend she believes fans should prepare for.

“What I will tell you is 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 going to see it. It already started, and it’s going to continue.”

She then placed the moment squarely within the current political timeline.

“This is Trump’s first year as president. We’ve got three more years of people who are going to surprise you. It’s going to hurt your feelings, and it’s going to disappoint you.”

Lizzo closed by emphasizing that celebrity political shifts rarely happen without incentive.

“You have to know that there’s money behind everything. There are privileges behind every move people in these positions make, and I’m not surprised.”
