California’s Governor Gavin Newsom recently found himself at the center of controversy after rapper Nicki Minaj responded to a tweet directed at billionaire Elon Musk. Minaj, known for her candid social media presence, took to X to suggest that Newsom’s potential run for president is already facing significant challenges.
In her posts, the 43-year-old artist humorously remarked, “Oh Gavi Pooh, it only gets worse from here, buddy,” adding a meme of Chucky for effect. She declared, “My love, it is the end of the road for you,” and told him to enjoy life while he can, perhaps implying he should just ride it out on a jet ski.
In another tweet, Minaj described Newsom as a “cute boy” who has been given advantages due to his looks. She commented on his appearance and demeanor, saying he thinks he’s a movie star, yet lacks the success to match, stating the only difference between him and Tom Cruise is that his next mission is “impossible.”
She also made a sarcastic remark about Newsom wanting to meet transgender kids, suggesting that even those in the community wouldn’t be inclined to engage with him, highlighting what she seemed to view as comedic absurdity in his comments.
Newsom’s office has been approached for a response. The chaos began after Musk’s America PAC shared a segment from a podcast where Newsom expressed his desire to connect with transgender youth, citing his pro-trans legislation advocacy. In a tweet, Newsom’s office made a jab at Musk’s strained relationship with his transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, implying a personal rift.
Musk replied by discussing his son, mentioning the “tragic mental illness” he believes is associated with societal influences on vulnerable youth. His response hinted at deeper issues regarding family dynamics that, one could argue, reflect broader societal conflicts.
Interestingly, Minaj has emerged recently as a somewhat unexpected figure in conservative activism. Alongside U.N. Ambassador Mike Walz, she engaged in discussions about the treatment of Christians in Nigeria, continuing to express her political preferences, indicating a preference for Vice President J.D. Vance over Newsom.
