Nicki Minaj marked Donald Trump’s 80th birthday by sharing a collection of AI-generated images, including one that also featured Elon Musk and Sydney Sweeney.
The post, which amassed nearly 20 million views after being uploaded on June 14, showcased a four-photo carousel accompanied by the caption: “Happy 80th birthday Mr. President [party popper and pink bow emojis]”
In the first image, the Pink Friday 2 star is depicted in a Marilyn Monroe-inspired look, complete with platinum blonde hair and a flowing white dress, while holding onto Trump’s arm in what appears to be an elegant ballroom setting. Trump is shown wearing a navy suit paired with a red tie.
The second image features Minaj and Trump dressed in matching black hoodies alongside the phrase: “Real recognize real.”
The third image shows animated versions of Nicki Minaj and Donald Trump holding hands. The artwork appears to be inspired by a real-life appearance the two made together earlier this year at the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, D.C.
The fourth and most talked-about image places Minaj and Trump in a luxury vehicle alongside Elon Musk and Sydney Sweeney. In the AI-generated scene, Minaj and Trump occupy the front seats while Musk and Sweeney sit in the back. Trump is depicted wearing a pink floral denim outfit and flashing an “OK” hand gesture, with all four figures sporting oversized diamond chains.
Sweeney’s appearance in the image seems to reference ongoing conversations about her political views, including reports that she is registered as a Republican. Trump previously spoke positively about the Euphoria star and her controversial American Eagle campaign after learning of those reports.
The birthday tribute is the latest example of Minaj publicly showing support for Trump. Earlier this year, on Presidents Day, she shared another AI-generated image featuring the two riding together in a convertible.
Trump celebrated his 80th birthday by hosting UFC Freedom 250 on the South Lawn of the White House. According to ESPN, staging the event reportedly cost UFC more than $60 million.
