Lizzo has addressed the growing online debate surrounding Nicki Minaj, following backlash over the rapper’s recent political choices.
In a TikTok video, Lizzo responded to a fan question about Minaj and explained that she chose not to react immediately. She said she took time to understand the situation before sharing her thoughts.
Lizzo stressed that public reactions between famous figures often receive more attention than they deserve. She told viewers that celebrity opinions about other celebrities hold little real importance. “Celebrities’ opinions of other celebrities do not matter,” she said, urging fans to keep perspective.
The discussion gained momentum after Minaj publicly voiced support for Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. Her appearance at AmericaFest, hosted by Turning Point USA, also drew criticism, particularly after she was seen alongside political commentator Erika Kirk.

— Pop Base (@PopBase) December 25, 2025Rather than singling out Minaj, Lizzo broadened the conversation. She said fans should expect more public figures to reveal political views that may feel surprising or disappointing.
According to Lizzo, these shifts often stem from factors beyond personal beliefs. She pointed to power, access, and financial incentives as influences that can shape such decisions.

Lizzo also offered a candid warning to her audience. She advised fans to prepare emotionally, as disappointment may become more common when celebrities reveal sides of themselves that clash with public expectations. Her message underscored a broader point: personal values should not hinge on the political choices of famous figures, no matter how influential they may seem.
