Overview
- On February 12, Minaj asked followers to call their senators in support of the SAVE Act and tweet #SaveAct, offering a choice between unveiling a new look or hosting a Spaces session as an incentive.
- The SAVE Act would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register and photo ID to vote in federal elections, a proposal Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have denounced as “Jim Crow 2.0.”
- Responses on X included fans accusing her of conflating pandemic health rules with voting law and urging her to return to music, with some announcing they would unfollow her.
- Her latest push follows a January 28 appearance at the Trump Accounts Summit where she stood with President Trump, called herself his “number one fan,” said criticism fuels her support, and pledged a personal contribution to the program.
- The outreach caps a broader political shift marked by a December Turning Point USA appearance praising Trump and JD Vance and drawing LGBTQ+ backlash, with public condemnations from figures like Billy Porter and a deportation petition topping 90,000 signatures.
