On October 29th, Forbes released a list of Harris and Trump’s “Biggest Celebrity Endorsements.” Minaj’s name did not appear on the list for either candidate.
The Trinidadian-born rapper has previously expressed a dislike towards former President Trump’s policies. In a 2020 RollingStone interview, Minaj stated, “I’m not gonna jump on the Donald Trump bandwagon.”
“I couldn’t imagine a little child going through all of that, trying to get to another country because they didn’t have money in their country, or whether you’re fleeing from war … and then being taken away from the one person that makes you feel comfort. That is what really raised my eyebrows,” she also said.
