Nicki Minaj has deactivated her Instagram after making headlines at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest on December 21.
Onstage, she openly expressed her support for Donald Trump, which quickly set off a heated debate online and left fans divided.

Rumors spread that Minaj lost 10 million followers overnight, but fact-checks showed only a small drop in numbers.
While she's stepped away from Instagram for now, Nicki is still connecting with fans and sharing updates on X (formerly Twitter).
