Insiders say Nicki Minaj has been banned from attending this year’s Met Gala in New York City. The Met Gala on May 4 will be co-chaired by Beyoncé and Venus Williams alongside Nicole Kidman and former Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
According to Naughty But Nice‘s Rob Shuter, Nicki isn’t invited to the biggest fashion event of the year due to her appearances with President Trump and Erika Kirk.
Nicki attended last year’s Met Gala and the one before that. But her name is not on this year’s list.
“Nicki’s invitations didn’t just slow down — they vanished,” an industry insider told Naughty But Nice.
“Hollywood stopped returning her calls. This isn’t subtle anymore. She’s been shut out.”
The insider said celebrities have distanced themselves from the Pink Barbie rapper.
“There’s an invisible wall around her now, and no one wants to be seen opening the gate.”
But one celebrity who still takes Nicki’s calls is YouTube vlogger Tasha K.
Tasha recently announced Nicki donated $3,000 to help pay her debt to rapper Cardi B.

“Shoutout to the queen, Nicki Minaj, for giving me a generous donation on TikTok,” Tasha said in a livestream. “Thank you so much, queen. She popped into my TikTok live, throwing money, just throwing money like I’m a stripper or something.”
Tasha K launched a GoFundMe asking for $3.5 million. She agreed to pay Cardi $1.2 million over 5 years to settle the lawsuit.
In a statement on GoFundMe Tasha K wrote: “For years many of you have asked me to start a fundraiser to help me pay off the judgment against me. I always refused because I believed it was my responsibility to handle it on my own. But after many conversations with you all, I’m finally listening.”
“I am currently making my court-ordered payments of $20,000 per month from my own income, and I will continue to make those payments regardless of what is raised here from my own income. Meaning I will personally contribute my own funds to pay this down faster. Every dollar raised through this GoFundMe will go strictly toward reducing the judgment balance.”
She continued: “I don’t have $3.5 million sitting in cash, but with the help of my community we can accelerate paying this off so I can finally move forward and focus on creating, reporting, and entertaining without constant interruption.”
Tasha K has raised nearly $12,500 in donations on GoFundMe alone.
