50 Cent Mocks Nicki Minaj’s X Rampage as Critics Brand Her the ‘Female Kanye West’
A fresh celebrity flare-up unfolded online after 50 Cent publicly reacted to Nicki Minaj’s rapid-fire posts on X, adding fuel to a weekend of music-world drama that began at the Grammy Awards.
The spark came after host Trevor Noah joked during the telecast that Minaj was “still at the White House with Donald Trump,” a line that Minaj quickly blasted on social media. What followed was a string of posts from the rapper that drew sharp reactions across the internet, including personal remarks about Noah and singer Lizzo.
Minaj’s posts ricocheted across timelines, with critics accusing her of crossing lines into personal attacks. Some users labeled the episode erratic, while others defended her right to clap back at a public jab made on live television.
Enter 50 Cent. The rapper and producer shared a screenshot of Minaj’s comments about Lizzo on Instagram with a caption expressing disbelief. His post quickly went viral, prompting a flood of replies that ranged from jokes to pointed criticism of Minaj’s recent political and social media activity.
Several commenters compared Minaj’s posting spree to past online outbursts from Kanye West, arguing that the tone and volume of her messages felt chaotic. Others pushed back, saying the backlash itself was exaggerated and driven by social media pile-ons.
The exchange comes amid Minaj’s increasingly visible political positioning in recent months, including public appearances alongside President Donald Trump and commentary on immigration and religious issues. Those moves have split parts of her fanbase and made her a frequent subject of online debate beyond music circles.
For his part, 50 Cent recently joked in interviews that artists are often warned to avoid religion and politics because “someone will passionately disagree with you.” Fans quickly noted the irony as he waded into the Minaj discourse anyway.
What began as a Grammys monologue joke has now snowballed into a broader conversation about celebrity speech, social media escalation, and how quickly entertainment moments can morph into culture-war flashpoints.
