Fact Check: Did Trump offer Nicki Minaj a National Cultural Advisor role?

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump and rapper Nicki Minaj have developed a notable public connection in recent months, especially since early 2026. Nicki Minaj has expressed strong support for the president.

Recently, a rumor circulated online claiming that Donald Trump offered Nicki Minaj a position as National Cultural Advisor. But is there any truth to this? Let us find out below.

Claim: Trump offered Nicki Minaj a position as National Cultural Advisor

An X account came up with a post that read, "President Trump has reportedly offered Nicki Minaj a position as National Cultural Advisor."

The post garnered more than 250,000 views, and more than 8,000 users reacted to the post at the time of filing this story. The post also contained images of Donald Trump and Nicki Minaj.

Nicki Minaj recently shed light on her staunch support for Trump in an interview, as she applauded and worked with the POTUS and other top Republican officials in recent months.

During an appearance in 'The Katie Miller Podcast', the rapper revealed that Trump inspired her controversial leap into the political realm. She told Katie Miller, "When I saw how he was being treated over and over and over, I just couldn't handle it. "

"I felt that...a lot of that bullying, and the smear campaigns and all of the lying, I felt that that had been done to me for so many years, and I was watching it in real time happen to someone else, and I didn't think he deserved it," Minaj added.

Fact check: False, no credible evidence to back the claim

The claim made in the viral post is false, as there is no credible evidence to prove that Donald Trump offered Nicki Minaj a position as National Cultural Advisor.

The claim originated from a viral social media post, primarily on X, from the account @HoopsCrave, a parody account not affiliated with official sources.

No mainstream media outlet reported any such news, nor did any credible sources mention any job offer, appointment, or discussion of a National Cultural Advisor role for Minaj. 

Moreover, searches across news outlets, official statements, and X posts from Trump or Minaj showed no confirmation of such a position or offer.

No official White House announcement, press release, or statement supports the viral claim. If rumors were true, they would have been covered by major news outlets.

Nicki Minaj got a warm welcome in GOP circles. However, her public allegiance to Trump has been criticized by several fans and celebrities. While hosting the 2026 Grammy Awards, comedian Trevor Noah took digs at her in front of music's biggest stars.

"Nicki Minaj is not here. She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues," Noah said.
