In a recent statement, pop icon and vocal Kamala Harris supporter, Lizzo, has suggested that rap superstar Nicki Minaj’s alignment with former President Donald Trump is motivated by financial gain and perceived advantages. Lizzo speculated that this trend might inspire more celebrities to adopt similar stances.
Rather than delving into Minaj’s reasons for her political support, Lizzo characterized the situation as one where the “Super Bass” artist is primarily driven by a desire for wealth and certain privileges.

Lizzo shared her thoughts, saying, “I started getting messages about Nicki, and at first, I didn’t know what was going on. After looking into it, I realized what was happening. To be honest, celebrities commenting on other celebrities doesn’t matter much—so my opinion on her is irrelevant.”
However, Lizzo did express a broader concern, stating, “I believe we’re going to see a wave of individuals who realize that aligning with that side is more lucrative and advantageous. This trend has already begun, and I expect it to continue.”
“But 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 gonna see it. It already started, and it’s going to continue,” the “Rumors” singer continued.
Lizzo went on to say, “We got three more years” of Trump being president, during which time there will be “people who are going to surprise you,” suggesting that she knows there are closet conservatives in the entertainment industry who may feel emboldened to let their opinions be known in the coming years.
“It’s going to hurt your feelings,” Lizzo told her fans. “It’s going to disappoint you.”
“And you have to know that, like, there’s money behind everything,” she added. “There are privileges behind every move people in these positions make, and I’m not surprised.”
Interestingly, Lizzo’s comments about Minaj convey that the “Truth Hurts” singer — who endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 election — holds the narrow-minded view that no one could possibly see any advantage in supporting a Republican president unless they have some financial incentive.
Moreover, some may see the pop star’s remark that “there’s money behind everything” as Lizzo — who has gone to bat for Democrats — inadvertently revealing that she might know celebrities can, in fact, be paid for political endorsements, including possibly by Democrats, which the left has denied.
But for decades, it has been widely understood that many conservatives in the entertainment industry deliberately hide or downplay their political views in public, strongly suggesting that they do not see openly supporting Republicans as beneficial to their careers, which exist in an industry dominated by the left.
Notably, Lizzo’s remarks come after Minaj took the stage at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest last weekend, where she praised President Trump and said that being at the event was more important than any concert she has ever performed anywhere in the world, because slain conservative icon Charlie Kirk’s organization is “a direct link between young people and God.”
But Minaj has also offered reasons as to why she supports Trump, citing the president intervening and taking the “mass slaughter” of Christians in Nigeria by radical Islamists “seriously” — an issue that is close to her heart.
On Christmas, President Trump announced that he directed the United States to carry out a “powerful and deadly strike” against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria, whom he identified as responsible for targeting and killing innocent Christians at historically severe levels.
