Nicki Minaj, who has recently been a vocal critic of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, accused him of trying to be like President Donald Trump in a new interview, citing the governor’s recent social media posts that mimic the president’s outspoken style.
“The fact that you have the audacity to play on Newscum, on everything you say, on Twitter, being obsessed with Trump, trying to be Trump, trying to be funny when it’s not, and then wanting to roll in the mud on female rappers or whoever and completely missing the point,” Minaj said. he said. Katie Miller on this week’s podcast.
Many of Minaj’s online attacks have come about over the governor’s support for transgender children.
“Imagine being the guy running to see trans kids,” Minaj wrote on social media late last year. “Even a trans ADULT wouldn’t admit this. Normal adults wake up and think they want to see HEALTHY, SAFE, HAPPY kids. Not Gav. Gav Nots. GavOUT. Send the next guy away, I’m bored.”

He told Miller that Newsom would be better off not trying to compete with Trump.
“But President Trump is already president, got it?” he said, as if he were speaking directly to Newsom. “He’s done it twice already. He won. Good. Okay. Meanwhile, you’re starting something, a journey that will end in a huge failure for him.”
The “Tukoh Taka” singer said the governor still “can’t get over the fact that these jokes you’re making are only funny to your assistant, the weird little guy who calls Black women stupid.”

Newsom’s assistant responded to one of Minaj’s criticisms on social media last year by posting a photo of a Nicki Minaj T-shirt in the trash. He captioned the photo: “Stupid H–“, referencing the 2012 song of the same name.
He claimed that “no one cares” about Newsom’s online rhetoric, “and he makes a fool of himself, like when he goes to another country to talk badly about himself, the country, and the president. We would never want someone like that to be our president. Americans are big on loyalty, and this showed us that you don’t have a loyal bone in your body and no one is going to vote for you.”

Newsom spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last month, expressing concerns that “freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of expression” are under attack from the Trump administration.
“They are censoring historical facts, rewriting history,” he added, claiming the administration had canceled an earlier event where the governor was supposed to speak.

Minaj said Newsom didn’t respond to her when she asked for help from his office: “On Twitter, about phone calls that were clearly part of their long-running smear campaign. And he just completely ignored it, right? Next thing you know, he’s there clapping his teeth about women’s rap and trying to get into women’s business. That’s what I had to do. I had to show him who’s boss on Twitter.”
Newsom responded only once to his tirade of social media attacks.

In December, he released a mashup of videos and images of Trump, including Jeffrey Epstein, for Meghan Thee Stallion’s Minaj diss track “HISS.”
A spokesperson for Newsom told Fox News Digital: “We wish Ms. Minaj-Petty, her husband, and her parole officer the best of luck.”
