Overview
- The Cyabra analysis shared with Politico found 18,784 inauthentic accounts—about 33% of those reviewed—engaged with Minaj’s political posts between Nov. 11 and Dec. 28, 2025.
- Researchers reported a Dec. 26 spike when fake profiles generated 56% of comments, describing coordinated behavior designed to manufacture visible support.
- Cyabra said the primary objective was reputational, using repetitive praise and synchronized activity to inflate perceived endorsement of Minaj’s conservative messaging.
- Trump ally Alex Bruesewitz dismissed the findings as false and highlighted Cyabra advisory ties to Roc Nation executive David Wander and UTA partner Mike “G” Guirguis, who represents Cardi B.
- Guirguis said his advisory role does not involve Cardi B, who denied any connection to the study and threatened legal action against Bruesewitz for linking her to it.
