Nicki Minaj stood alongside Donald Trump at a Republican rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday, 25 October, urging voters to support the party's candidates in the 3 November midterm elections. However, the rapper said in 2024 that she was not a US citizen, raising questions about whether her citizenship status has since changed.
