Rap Feud Heats Up as Nicki Minaj Takes Aim at Trump Administration Amid White House Antagonism to Pop Stars
In a surprising turn of events, rapper Nicki Minaj has found herself at the center of a rap feud, this time pitting her against fellow artist Cardi B. However, it's not just the two rappers that are taking sides - Vice President J.D. Vance has weighed in on the issue, declaring his allegiance to Minaj over Trump's former rival.
Vance, 41, recently shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) that read "Nicki > Cardi," following a similar format used by Minaj in her recent posts. The move comes as the White House continues to antagonize pop stars, with President Donald Trump's administration launching social media campaigns using trending songs from various artists.
Minaj has been vocal about her disdain for the Trump administration, which she has criticized for its handling of immigration issues and xenophobic actions. In February 2020, Minaj expressed her support for immigrant children and their families, drawing a stark contrast with the Trump administration's policies.
The feud between Minaj and Cardi B appears to have been dormant since October, but Vance's post has reignited the discussion. Minaj responded by acknowledging that she is "just goin w/ the flow" and didn't want to get caught up in the drama.
Other artists who have seen their music used by the White House to promote its agenda have pushed back against the tactic. SZA, Sabrina Carpenter, and Olivia Rodrigo have all spoken out on X, expressing their discomfort with being used as a marketing tool for what they see as divisive policies.
As the White House continues to court pop stars and use their music to promote its message, it's clear that the line between politics and entertainment is becoming increasingly blurred. With Vice President Vance taking sides in this rap feud, it remains to be seen how this will impact his future presidential ambitions.

Nicki Minaj is speaking out against the Trump admin's xenophobic actions and now she's getting roasted by Cardi B? Meanwhile, SZA is over here like "ummm what even is going on" 
. And Vance just jumps into this feud with his own opinion? Like, who needs a VP when you've got X comments 
. It's all just getting out of hand!
- like, I get why Nicki Minaj is upset with the Trump administration's policies on immigration and xenophobia... but does Cardi B really have to take sides now? 
It just feels like he's trying to capitalize on his future presidential ambitions instead of keeping it real 
. I'm all for artists speaking their minds, but can't they just keep it civil and not get caught up in drama? 
These politicians need to figure out how to respect the artists' boundaries without using them as a tool for their own agendas... 
cardi b better come at nicki minaj with something fire 
i love that jdvance is stanminaj though 
the way the white house is trying to use pop stars for their agenda is so cringeworthy 
nicki minaj's response was perfect btw "just goin w/ the flow"

and can we talk about how weird it is that the white house is using pop stars' music to promote their agenda like what even is this 
anyway i'm low-key excited for a new nicki minaj album tho 
she's just speaking her mind about the issues that matter most to her and her fans, and now ppl are like "oh she's being divisive" no she's using her platform for good 
and btw JD vance taking sides on this is kinda awkward considering he's got presidential ambitions 
. But, what's up with J.D. Vance chiming in? 
I get that Minaj has been vocal about her issues with the Trump administration, but can't she just stick to her message without dragging other artists into it? 
. Maybe we need some boundaries between politics and entertainment before someone gets hurt 
.
. It's not cool that they're trying to manipulate artists into promoting their agenda through music. It's like, can't they just have a conversation like regular people? 
. And what's up with J.D. Vance weighing in on this drama? He's trying to position himself as a ally to Minaj, but it's just going to look weird if he ends up running for president 
just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, another celebrity feud breaks out and the white house jumps in to stir up drama... nicki minaj taking aim at trump admin but honestly who cares? we got more important things to worry about like climate change and rising unemployment rates. and vance thinks he's a rapper now lol what's next? cardinali vs. drake or something
