Trump allies dismissed Cyabra’s claim that Nicki Minaj’s social-media activity is amplified by thousands of bots, arguing the rapper’s popularity proves there’s no bot amplification and highlighting a broader online feud that included Cardi B and other figures.
A Cyabra analysis shared with Politico concludes that roughly 33% of the more than 55,000 accounts engaging Nicki Minaj’s MAGA‑related posts on X between Nov. 11 and Dec. 22 were likely fake, suggesting a coordinated bot campaign to boost her political content. The report notes linguistic uniformity among the fake accounts, overlap with Turning Point USA, and that some authentic influencers amplified the message. Minaj’s team and Cardi B rejected the bot claims, arguing Minaj already has a large organic following and that Cyabra’s conclusions indicate a broader strategy to manufacture broad endorsement.
Cyabra, an Israel-based social threat intelligence company, has revealed that Hamas has been using a sophisticated social media campaign, employing fake accounts to push pro-Hamas narratives on major platforms. Cyabra analyzed 2 million posts across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok and found that 25% of the profiles engaged in conversations about Hamas were fake. These fake profiles disseminated over 312,000 pro-Hamas posts and comments, generating 371,000 engagements and over 531 million views. The company believes that the level of sophistication and organization behind these fake accounts suggests the involvement of a highly funded, state-like actor. Cyabra has developed an enterprise platform and a consumer-facing tool called Botbusters.ai to detect fake profiles and AI-generated content.
