Amber Rose defending Nicki Minaj against political backlash and homophobia claims

Amber Rose backs Nicki Minaj amid criticism over political views, stressing free speech and rejecting claims of anti-LGBTQ sentiment.

Amber Rose has publicly defended rapper Nicki Minaj following renewed backlash over her political views and recent public associations.

Speaking in a casual exchange that quickly gained attention online, Amber Rose said Nicki Minaj had done nothing wrong by expressing her personal opinions. She stressed that political expression remains a personal right and should not be misrepresented or weaponised.

According to Amber Rose, the criticism appears rooted in assumptions rather than facts. She rejected claims that Nicki Minaj or her circle hold anti-LGBTQ views, describing such narratives as inaccurate and unfair.

She pointed to her own long-standing professional and personal relationships as evidence, noting that members of her team include individuals from the LGBTQ community. Amber Rose added that both she and Nicki Minaj maintain friendships with transgender individuals, challenging claims of intolerance.

Addressing public outrage linked to former US President Donald Trump, Amber Rose said endorsing a political figure does not automatically translate into hatred toward specific groups. She argued that political alignment and personal values are often wrongly merged in online debates.

Amber Rose also referenced a recent moment when Nicki Minaj spoke about Christians in Nigeria, explaining that her message was about moral conviction rather than political sides. 

She suggested that the same misunderstanding is now being applied to Nicki’s association with media personality Erica Kirk.

Questioning the backlash, Amber Rose said there was nothing controversial about open dialogue or public interaction. She described the outrage as excessive and driven by selective interpretation rather than Nicki Minaj’s actual words.

She ended on a relaxed note, sending appreciation to Nicki Minaj and entertainment outlet TMZ, while sharing a brief glimpse into her family time during the holidays.
