Nicki Minaj has a problem with California Governor Gavin Newsom wanting to run for president in the 2028 election cycle.
The rapper, 43, slammed the politician, 58, in a series of tweets on X on December 12, also calling him out for recent comments he made about trans kids.
Gavin Newsom Made Comments About the LGBTQ Community
Nicki Minaj trolled Gavin Newsom in a series of scathing tweets.
Newsom recently appeared on The Ezra Klein Show where he noted: “I want to see trans kids… There’s no governor that’s done more pro-trans legislation than I have. No one has been a stronger advocate for the LGBT community.”
Minaj swiftly shared her thoughts about him on social media, laughing at his candidate potential.
“Imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids. Haha. Not even a trans ADULT would run on that. Normal adults wake up & think they want to see HEALTHY, SAFE, HAPPY kids. Not Gav. The Gav Nots. GavOUT. Send in the next guy, I’m bored," the "Super Bass" hitmaker tweeted alongside a GIF of the Child's Play character Chucky holding a bat.
The rapper hilariously slapped on photos of the 'Child's Play' character, Chucky, on her tweets.
“Gavin is the cute boy who got everything handed to him b/c of how cute & sexy & hot & smoking he was," she wrote in a follow-up tweet.
"He thinks he’s Tom Cruise only difference is, his next mission IS impossible. He should get another leading role," she continued.
But her fiery words didn't stop there. She then replied to a flurry of videos with Newsom appearing in them, simply responding multiple times: "Shame on him."

The California Governor Is Thinking About Running for President
Gavin Newsom might be running for president in 2028.
Newsom is one of the main contenders for the Democrats in the 2028 race. The businessman, who has been the governor of the Golden State since 2019, told CBS back in October how he is considering running for office.
He divulged that he’d “be lying otherwise” if he didn't say he was thinking about being on the 2028 ballot. However, he's not 100 percent if it will actually pan out.
The politician has been the governor of California since 2019.
“I have no idea,” Newsom dished. “The idea that a guy who got 960 on his SAT, that still struggles to read scripts, that was always in the back of the classroom, the idea that you would even throw that out is, in and of itself, extraordinary. Who the h--- knows?"
"I’m looking forward to who presents themselves in 2028 and who meets that moment. That’s the question for the American people," he shrugged.
