Cyabra Finds Bot Army Amplified Nicki Minaj’s MAGA Push
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.
