In a revealing interview on Katie Miller’s podcast, Nicki Minaj discussed her unexpected journey into the world of politics, attributing her awakening to a premonition she experienced long before her rise to fame in the rap industry.
During the episode, set to air on February 3, the Queens rapper opened up about her sense of a greater purpose beyond music. “You know what, Katie? I think that people’s steps are aligned. I used to always tell people this when I was growing up; I had this strong premonition my whole life that I had a second job to do. And this was, by the way, before I even made it in rap,” Minaj shared.
Her political inclinations intensified during the 2024 presidential campaign, as she observed the unfolding events with increasing concern. “Something inside of me just told me I would have another thing to do,” she explained, noting that her first public expression of this feeling occurred during the last campaign.
Minaj revealed that her predictions began to manifest, driving her to consider a political role. “I saw something…and I also said, this, all of this is making me want to get into politics,” she stated, reflecting on how her instincts were validated by real-world events.
The rapper’s motivation to enter the political arena further solidified after a mysterious incident that she chose not to elaborate on. “There was something that happened a few months ago that, if I wasn’t going to do it before, something happened a couple months ago,” she hinted. “Sometimes people can push you so much that they push you all the way into your next calling, into your next blessing, into your next life. And that’s what happened with me,” she concluded.
Minaj’s comments come in the wake of her high-profile appearances supporting Donald Trump. In January 2026, she referred to herself as the president’s “No. 1 fan” during the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, D.C. Her political journey has drawn criticism, especially since she previously opposed Trump’s immigration policies during his first term.
