Nicki Minaj is once again at the center of a social media storm after revealing what she described as one of the most meaningful gifts she’s ever received—a signed Bible from former President Donald Trump.
The 43-year-old rapper shared a photo on X on Saturday, Feb. 21, showing a leather-bound “signature edition” Holy Bible embossed with the American flag. The cover features the inscription “Donald J. Trump 45th President of the United States Signature Edition,” along with his bold signature and the phrase “God Bless the USA.” A black pen bearing Trump’s signature in gold lettering accompanied the gift.
“One of the most meaningful gifts I’ve ever received in my entire life,” Minaj wrote in the caption, prompting immediate and intense reactions online. Critics questioned the appropriateness of autographing a religious text, with some calling the gesture “sacrilegious” and others expressing disappointment. One user asked whether it was fitting to sign a book considered sacred scripture, while another shared a meme criticizing perceived contradictions between biblical teachings and political support.
At the same time, many of Minaj’s supporters applauded the gesture. Some described it as a beautiful and symbolic gift, while others framed it as a reflection of shared values. The post quickly became a flashpoint, highlighting the polarized reactions that often follow celebrity-political intersections.
The exchange comes shortly after Trump publicly praised Minaj during a White House Black History Month event, complimenting her influence and presence. Whether viewed as heartfelt, controversial, or strategic, Minaj’s post has once again placed her at the center of a cultural and political conversation.
