The X post shared a screenshot that presented a flirty message as a tweet Nicki Minaj had posted and later deleted.
The alleged tweet claimed that Minaj found President Donald Trump attractive and asked him when they would go on a date. The fabricated screenshot fueled speculation about a possible affair between the rapper and the president.
The X user shared the image with the caption, “Nicki Minaj with a tweet and delete, furthering speculation that she and Trump are having an affair.”
The alleged tweet read, “Barbz, you'll know I don't get impressed easily, but that man is FINEE. Very handsome, very attractive. Now Donald, when are we going on our lil DATE? Don't keep the Queen waiting boo.”
The rumor gained attention after Minaj publicly supported Trump in 2026. She traveled with him on Air Force One, participated in a mock White House press secretary briefing, and reaffirmed her support with posts such as, “Not going anywhere. Right where I need to be.”
On October 25, 2026, Minaj joined Trump at a rally in Michigan ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.
She spoke in support of Republican candidates, led the crowd in chants of “We love Trump,” and pledged her continued support, saying, “I will continue to support you forever and ever. If you run again, I will support you again.”
Fact Check: The claim is false
The claim that Nicki Minaj posted and later deleted a flirty tweet about “Daddy Trump,” calling him “FINEEE” and asking him about a “lil DATE,” is false.
The screenshot circulating on X is a fabricated meme. No credible evidence shows that Minaj posted the message from her verified account, @NICKIMINAJ.
Searches of her recent posts, news coverage, and online discussions have not uncovered an authentic version of the alleged tweet.
The meme appears to have emerged in response to a real rally moment and Minaj’s close political association with President Donald Trump.
However, the screenshot does not show a real tweet that she later deleted.
There is also no credible evidence of a romantic relationship between Minaj and Trump. Their documented relationship is a high-profile political and celebrity alliance.
Minaj has called herself his “No. 1 fan,” campaigned with him, attended events, and publicly pledged her continued support. Online gossip and memes have turned their public association into unsubstantiated rumors, but no credible evidence supports claims of an affair.
