When Nicki Minaj mocked California Governor Gavin Newsom on X, her followers wondered if she had insider information.
The Trump administration has launched an investigation into California after $250 billion in taxpayer funds went missing.
On Tuesday, President Trump announced that a “fraud investigation of California has begun.” He called Gov. Newsom “more corrupt than Minnesota” after more than $250 billion was “stolen”.
Trump didn’t provide any information to support his claims.
But rapper Nicki Minaj knew as recently as December 12 that Newsom was under investigation.
She wrote in a post on X:
“Oh Gavvy pooh, it only gets worse from here for you, buddy. It’s the end of the road for you, my love. Get on the nearest jet ski & let that beautiful hair blow in the wind. It will make you happier than this race that you will not win. Enjoy life. Peace.”
Nicki’s fans turned on her after she made comments supporting President Trump during her appearance at TPUSA’s AmericaFest convention in Phoenix in December.
A Change.org petition to deport Nicki Minaj back to Trinidad has surpassed 90,000 verified signatures.
On Tuesday, Newsom’s press office mocked Trump with a “little fingers” post on X. The PR team also referred to the president as “deranged” and a “habitual liar.”
“Donald Trump is a deranged, habitual liar whose relationship with reality ended years ago,” Newsom’s press team posted on X.
The post continued:
“Meanwhile — in the actual world where adults govern — @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom has been cleaning house. Since taking office, he’s blocked over $125 BILLION in fraud, arrested criminal parasites leaching off of taxpayers, and protected taxpayers from the exact kind of scam artists Trump celebrates, excuses, and pardons. Gavin Newsom runs a state. Donald Trump runs his mouth and little fingers.”
Newsom personally went off on podcaster Benny Johnson who said he will be sending a team to California to investigate the massive fraud.
Trump supporters predict Newsom will be next to resign from office. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced he is dropping out of the 2026 campaign for reelection.
Walz is under investigation after citizen journalists and conservative bloggers discovered he may have had a hand in covering up $18 billion in social services fraud in his state.
