Rapper Nicki Minaj Says The United States Never Landed On The Moon

The newest member of the MAGA movement believes the United States never landed on the moon.

Rapper Nicki Minaj, a vocal supporter of President Trump, has revealed that she believes the 1969 moon landing was fake.

Minaj made the statement during an interview on the Katie Miller podcast.

Futurism provided quotes from Minaj’s comments on the Katie Miller podcast:

Congratulations, Moon landing “truthers,” you just gained a powerful new ally: Nicki Minaj.

In a recent episode of the Katie Miller podcast, the host asked the rapper if she had any conspiracy theories she believed in, and casually brought up the Moon landing being faked as one classic example. Miller was already moving on to other popular conspiracy theories, until Minaj spoke up.

“No… No, I don’t think we landed on the Moon,” Minaj interjected.

“You don’t?” asked an incredulous Miller.

“No,” Minaj confirmed.

“I asked Elon this one,” continued Miller, who formerly served under Elon Musk as communications director for his Department of Government Efficiency. “He said we did indeed land on the Moon.”

Neither party elaborated. And what else is there to say? Humans have been to the surface of the Moon six times, starting with NASA’s Apollo 11 mission in 1969 and ending with Apollo 17 in 1972. In all, 12 astronauts — all men — have set foot on the lunar surface, though that may change with NASA’s upcoming Artemis 3 mission.

A panel on Fox News’ hit show Gutfeld! took shots at Minaj over her claims.

Mediate provided the pushback Minaj received from the panel:

Greg Gutfeld on Friday called Minaj a “new MAGA queen,” but admitted her moon landing belief was “crazy.” Still, he chalked it up as “not a harmful belief, it’s a recreational belief.”

“You’re not a space expert just because everyone stares at your anus,” comedian Adam Hunter joked.

Emily Campagno offered some support, saying the statement was not “disqualifying.”

Tyrus offered the strongest take after Gutfeld jokingly asked if Minaj’s conspiracy theory declaration was a “Black thing.”

“We brought you into the house. We let you sit at the big table, and you say some dumb shit like this. So now we can forget everything you said before that,” Tyrus said.

He argued that the right is sometimes too quick to embrace people with recognizable names who back the president, saying, “anyone can say one good thing one time.”

“What she said was, ‘I like President Trump. I’m his biggest fan,’ and then all of a sudden all the right — this is what we do — all of a sudden, ‘brilliant! She’s genius!’” Tyrus said.
