Celebrities turn on Nicki Minaj over TPUSA ties



After Nicki Minaj began voicing her conservative views and working with Turning Point USA, other celebrities have made it clear they’re no longer impressed with the rapper — and definitely not with TPUSA.

“They are still attacking Nicki Minaj over connecting with TPUSA, over promoting Donald Trump,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock explains to his panel on “Fearless,” before playing a clip of Shannon Sharpe and Joe Budden’s criticism of Minaj and the late Charlie Kirk’s brainchild.

“Nicki goes on stage with Charlie Kirk’s widow,” Sharpe said to Budden on his “Club Shay Shay” podcast.

“I didn’t love it,” Budden replied.


“That is the role that I believe Turning Point to play in the rewriting of history or revisionist history when they visit these schools and have all this money just basically being pumped into a certain belief system,” Budden said.

“I won’t take us there and speak to what I believe that belief system to be. But it’s a mess. It’s deeper than political views. I’m not political at all. ... That’s not my bag,” he continued.

“There’s a tone that I don’t think is hidden, and they’re hiding these white nationalist views behind Christianity,” he added.

“‘White nationalist views behind Christianity.’ That is certainly a complaint we’ve heard from other people, perhaps a bit more informed than Joe Budden. But, and I’ve got to be honest, I have mixed emotions as it relates to Nicki Minaj in terms of her music isn’t my kind of music,” Whitlock comments.

“It’s a kind of music that I now fully and enthusiastically reject and, you know, frame in the most demonic ways possible. But I’m like anybody else. I kind of halfway like her pivoting and at least being, you know, not captured by the Democrat Party,” he continues.

Unlike Sharpe and Budden, BlazeTV contributor Shemeka Michelle supports and respects Minaj thinking for herself.

“All of us get on social media and tweet our thoughts or say what we feel or where we stand. I think that she has the same right to do that. And what I’m seeing from the left, really the ones that compare ICE to the slave patrol or Republicans to the KKK, I’m actually seeing that they don’t care about black people at all. Although they try to put it with race, it’s really just, they want undying loyalty and allegiance to the Democrat Party,” Michelle tells Whitlock.

“She took some pictures with President Trump, and she is his biggest fan. She said she’s on that side. I haven’t really seen her take a very, I would say, Christian stand or, you know, ‘this is my new life’ type of stand,” she continues.

“It’s just been more very surface. ... I don’t have a problem with her learning or trying to figure it out publicly. I think we all do that if you are part of social media, and that’s just what it is. I really support her right to do exactly what she’s doing,” she adds.

Whitlock: Victimhood culture is failing black people — and the NFL



BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock has noticed a pattern in the NFL, and it has to do with those who identify as victims and those who don’t.

“There were 12 teams in the NFL that had a white head coach and a white quarterback in combination. … Because these white guys don’t see themselves as victims and because they have a shared culture that rejects victimhood, that combination of white coach, white quarterback never seeing themselves as victims, it actually works,” Whitlock explains.

Whitlock also believes that this anti-victimhood coach-quarterback combination is consistent with worldviews based in Christianity.


“The number-one thing is, like, I’m not a victim. Jesus Christ died for my sins. How can I be a victim? There is only one victim. The man that stood up and died for the rest of us so that we could be victors. So there is no victimhood in Christianity,” Whitlock says.

“And what I’ve argued is that black people have adopted — latched on to, been brainwashed into — seeing themselves primarily as a victim. They will deny it … but all of their behavior is rigged towards victimhood and rigged towards if something goes wrong, it’s someone else’s fault,” he continues.

“Whereas the white man has been convinced — fairly [or] unfairly — if something goes wrong, let me go look in the mirror; it’s my fault, and let me correct myself. That is a superior mindset. That’s a mindset that is consistent with Christianity,” he adds.

But it doesn’t have to be this way for black people.

“Black people have the exact same option as white people. You can adopt whatever culture you want. You can adopt whatever mindset you want. Yes, there will be repercussions. But if you’re man enough to deal with the repercussions ... if you reject that victimhood mentality, there’s so much freedom and opportunity, and you will develop better as a leader and as a man.”

“You will be more self-sufficient. You will protect your salvation. There are so many wins to that,” he adds.

Jason Whitlock slams NFL’s ‘chief kindness officer,’ predicts this Super Bowl will be ‘gayest’ event in the history of sports



What once was simply a showdown between football teams has been turned into a clown show with a political agenda — and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is tired of it.

“Roger Goodell and these idiots at the NFL have added to the Super Bowl. They’ve added something called the ‘chief kindness officer,' and they've got some theme of ‘be kind to your rivals’ or whatever,” Whitlock says.

The newly appointed chief kindness officer is Dhar Mann, who has created “educational” films that are supposed to illustrate some kind of lesson to the world. One video Whitlock plays is titled “Racist Karen tries getting barista fired.”


“The actual video is a racial farce. I watched the video ... so fantasy driven and so over the top. It’s an alternate false reality that Dhar Mann has created to portray white women as racist. And it’s completely removed from reality,” Whitlock says.

“And I’m looking at the NFL and Roger Goodell and like this is what y’all consider kindness ... putting out a video that smears white women as the most racist people on the planet. This is kindness. This is an alternate reality,” he continues.

“This is bigotry that the NFL is promoting or has been commanded to promote,” he adds.

And as the Super Bowl date nears, Whitlock has decided he will not be watching.

“They don’t have enough money printed on the entire planet to get me to watch this year’s Super Bowl. I’ve just had it. Everything associated with this Super Bowl is gay and embarrassing. This is going to be the gayest, dumbest event in the history of sports,” he explains.

“It’s in San Francisco, the gay area, for one. Bad Bunny, the Super Bowl halftime performance. There are reports that he’s planning to wear a dress to promote transgenderism and cross-dressing and all of that. Bad Bunny, who speaks no English or sings no songs in English. Bad Bunny, who is an anti-ICE, pro-illegal immigration activist,” he continues.

“That’s the Super Bowl halftime performance. They’re trolling us,” he adds.

Nicki Minaj goes scorched-earth after Trevor Noah Grammys diss; accuses celebs of ‘blood sacrifice’ of children



The star-studded Grammys featured some jokes from “comedian” Trevor Noah, who took aim at rapper Nicki Minaj and her support of President Trump.

“Nicki Minaj is not here,” Noah said, to thunderous applause from the audience.

“She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues.”

Noah then broke into a Trump impression, mocking, “Actually Nicki, I have the biggest ass ... everybody’s saying it Nicki.”

While the crowd may have laughed, Minaj didn’t find it funny.


“Trevor refuses to come out the closet when everyone in the industry knows his boyfriend. Allegedly,” Minaj wrote in a post accompanied by photos of Jay Z on X.

“Your favorite artist has been practicing rituals in a satanic cult where they take babies from other countries & mutilate them & kill them as a form of a blood sacrifice to their God. You see, when your master is satan, you must constantly shed blood. However, the JIG IS UP,” she wrote in another post.

But she wasn’t finished.

“Are y’all understanding that these ppl have been sacrificing children as a way of gaining & maintaining power?” she wrote in yet another post, adding, “If you ever vote DemonCrat again, you’re just as soulless as they are & will perish. Maybe it’s time for me to do some story times — since I was trying to not say what I know — yet they continue to attempt bullying.”

“I’m glad she actually fired back because I thought Trevor Noah was just not funny,” BlazeTV contributor Shemeka Michelle tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock on “Fearless.”

“They just want to keep you pigeonholed to the Democrat Party. And anytime they feel like you’ve stepped away, then they want to ridicule and shame you. As someone who has seen a little bit of Nicki Minaj’s career over the years, it’s very telling that now they have an issue with her being fully clothed and supporting Donald Trump more than they did when she was naked and just saying all types of foolishness,” Michelle says.

“It really, it speaks volumes about the black community in general and about those who are so-called elite or in charge. Now all of a sudden, they want to bring Nicki Minaj down because of her allegiance to Donald Trump. It says a lot,” she continues.

As for Noah himself, Michelle believes Minaj’s allegations may have some merit.

“He doesn’t really strike me as this masculine man,” Michelle says, adding, “So I’m not surprised at all.”

Cam Newton disses Jason Whitlock — who fires back with a biblical reality check



When former NFL quarterback Cam Newton recently took aim at Jason Whitlock, he boasted about his influence on culture and warned Whitlock that he’s “not plum dumb."

But Whitlock isn’t buying it.

“One thing about me, Mr. Whitlock, my voice to the culture is way more heavier than I even expected it to be. I owe a service to speak up for the muzzled, for the muted, the forgotten, or the overlooked,” Newton began.

“To make sure my dialect, my tone, my vernacular is not only factual, but it’s also relatable to my kind. My kind is not just a color. … So be careful, Mr. Whitlock, because you fell victim to what I really wanted you and others to understand. I may look some dumb, but I ain’t plum dumb,” he continued.


“So I’m comfortable in my skin. Are you comfortable in yours?” he asked.

“I’ll start with your last question,” Whitlock responds. “Am I comfortable in my skin? And he’s saying that he’s comfortable in his. And so I’m going to deal with your question legitimately.”

“I think what you mean is, am I comfortable being black? But let me answer your first question. Am I comfortable in my skin? My skin is not a color,” he explains, noting that “no,” he is “not comfortable” is his skin.

However, it’s because he has “a biblical worldview.”

“I know that I’m a wretched, lustful ignoramus and that the Bible and Christianity actually teaches me to deny myself — that my instincts, what I want to do, will lead me astray. And so I get up every day and go to war with Jason Whitlock,” Whitlock says.

“Because I have figured out that the things that I want actually hurt me, damage me, and that the Bible and the whole point of Christianity is denial of what I want.

"As it relates to ‘am I comfortable being black,’ which is the question you were really asking,” he continues. “Not only am I comfortable, I enjoy it. I love it. It’s the way God made me. Yes, I’m very comfortable with my skin color. I’m very uncomfortable with who I am. And I fight it every day,” he adds.

And while Whitlock admits he is flawed, he points out that Newton is likely no different from him.

“You’ve impregnated a stripper or two. Sounds like you like strippers. So did I. I had to fight myself and retrain, reprogram my brain so that I would deny myself my lustful thoughts. … If we’re doing life right, we should not be comfortable with our desires. We should be submitting to His desires,” Whitlock says.

“Cam, I think you know this, because your dad’s a minister. And I think you’re in rebellion to this, perhaps because your dad’s a minister,” he continues. “But that is the difference between me and you.”

‘It’s way too manipulated’: Whitlock bashes NFL after Bill Belichick snubbed as first-ballot Hall of Famer



In a major shock to the football world, eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Belichick is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

While the Hall of Famers were being voted on earlier this month, Belichick fell short of the 40 out of 50 votes needed in order to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame during his first year of eligibility.

“There’s two, like, first-ballot Hall of Fame guys,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says on “Fearless,” referencing Larry Fitzgerald and Drew Brees.

“If I were them, I would consider, like, ‘No, I’m good. Put me in with Bill next year,’ because going in this year, everything is going to be about, ‘Y’all left Bill out,’” he continues.


“The actual players, Drew Brees, Larry, they’re going to be overshadowed and would be better served going in with Bill Belichick next year,” he adds.

And Whitlock believes this is a deeper issue.

“The whole process has been headed this direction for years. The writers have egos. ... It’s way too manipulated,” Whitlock says, pointing out that voters include women like Lisa Salters, who “doesn’t watch football.”

“She stands on the sidelines after games and says, ‘Hey, in the third quarter you threw for 300 yards, and in the fourth quarter you only threw for 150. What changed?’” he explains.

“It’s just a quota box at this point. Do you fit a quota,” he adds.

“The National Football League, the people that write about the National Football League, the people that coach in the National Football League, the front office folks, it’s not for everyone,” BlazeTV contributor Matt McChesney chimes in.

“The NFL is a very specific niche ... and to assume that everybody belongs is not the right way to do this. So, I just don’t understand how they can put themselves in this position,” he adds.

Jason Whitlock: How should Christians respond to Alex Pretti shooting in Minneapolis?



As Minnesota descends into chaos reminiscent of 2020, one viral post on X has Americans like BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock pondering how Christians should be responding to the world being set on fire, yet again.

“If u can’t clearly & boldly state the craziness of Democrats being unable to define what a woman is & saying men can get pregnant, AND the madness of Republicans defending the murder of Alex Pretti, then you’re following a political party/ideology & not The Lord Jesus Christ,” Fox Sports analyst Chris Broussard wrote in a post on X.

“How should Christians be responding to ICE officials and the killing of Alex Pretti? How should we be responding to this controversy?” Whitlock asks his panel on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”


“We should always respond prayerfully. We should always respond according to scripture, according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. That’s with any situation,” BlazeTV contributor Anthony Walker responds.

“It becomes so layered that we actually lose the situation at hand. So that’s why, I again, I underline prayerfully, scripturally, and spiritually,” he adds.

BlazeTV contributor Virgil Walker also believes the proper response should be looking to God.

“Whether it was the death of George Floyd, or the death of anyone, regardless of their ethnicity, regardless of the conditions by which death occurred, we should mourn the loss of an image bearer created in the image of God. Regardless of ideological framework, regardless of all of the camera angles, regardless of any of that,” Walker responds.

He also points out that scripture tells us not to rejoice in the death of the wicked.

“I’m not saying that Alex was wicked, that man who passed away was wicked ... I’m simply saying that if we’re not going to rejoice in the death of the wicked, we should not rejoice in anyone’s death,” he explains.

However BlazeTV contributor Shemeka Michelle has a bit of a different take.

“I’ve been frustrated, Jason, over this entire thing ... the idea that Christians are just supposed to be, I don’t know, like these weak, perfect people. And I’m really tired of people trying to qualify Christians and tell us how we’re supposed to feel or think about certain social issues that are happening in the country,” Michelle says.

“I feel like my empathy button is broken,” she adds.

Josh Allen cast as the next ‘great white villain'



Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has it all — a great job, a beautiful wife, with whom he is expecting a child.

And because of this, he is being framed as the next “great white villain.”

In an article written by Bobby Burack and published by OutKick, Burack argues that Allen is getting much the same treatment as Caitlin Clark.

“If you’re starting to see a trend, there are no Great White Hopes in 2026. The racial discourse in sports is largely the product of commentators convincing themselves that any praise or popularity of a white athlete must be rooted in racial bias,” Burack explains.


“Much of the sports media, which is not an especially impressive or rigorous group, operates from a Marxian worldview in which one person’s success must come from another’s exploitation. Translated, they believe the popularity of a white athlete comes at the expense of a black athlete,” he continues.

“They are so committed to this worldview that they go on television and onto their made-for-Bluesky podcasts to throw tantrums over things no one actually said about athletes like Josh Allen and Caitlin Clark,” he adds.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock could not agree more.

“There aren’t people running around caping up for Josh Allen,” Whitlock says. “To the contrary: When Josh Allen just played a poor playoff game and cost his team that playoff game with ridiculous mistakes and interceptions and fumbles and whatnot, everybody criticized Josh Allen,” he says on “Fearless.”

“What actually does transpire is that when a black athlete, particularly one who Ryan Clark and others have deemed as authentically black, meaning they wear cornrows or they braid their hair or they talk Ebonics very effectively on TV … there is a caping-up for them,” Whitlock explains.

“Everybody loves to celebrate the black athlete that acts like a buffoon,” he continues, adding, “And then when that black athlete who acts like a buffoon washes out and fails because of his immaturity, everybody gets amnesia that they were celebrating this buffoonery.”

Race-baiting exposed: Whitlock calls out Pam Grier’s ‘lynching’ tale and Jasmine Crockett’s ‘hood’ warning



Actress Pam Grier revealed to the ladies of “The View” that as a child, she witnessed a lynched body hanging from a tree in Columbus, Ohio.

“My mom would go, ‘Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look,’ and she’d pull us away because there was someone hanging from a tree,” Grier explained as the audience gasped. “And they have a memorial for it now where you can see where people were and left. And it triggers me today to see that a voice can be silenced and if a white family supported a black, they’re going to get burned down or killed or lynched as well.”

And Grier isn’t the only one talking about lynching in 2026.

“Honestly, they about to outlaw the idea of white supremacy and white hate. Like, they are about to be like, ‘Oh, that’s not a thing.’ Forget the fact that you’re talking about getting rid of, like, the classification for nooses in a time in which we have seen these random black bodies be strung up down south,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said in a recent video.


She went on to claim that Trump is emboldening white people to “take off their hoods.”

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock isn’t surprised, but he is a little disturbed.

“There’s the audience gasping. ... The truth is irrelevant. Everything is emotional. Everything’s just, say whatever you want, and we’ve got to live with your delusion,” Whitlock says.

“I think Pam Grier is 76 years old. That means she was born around 1950. The last documented lynching, I believe, in Ohio, was 1911. Lynching just hasn’t been a thing since the 1920s or ’30s,” he continues.

“And this will be real controversial ... but I’m standing on this and saying that this whole lynching thing — completely exaggerated. Completely exaggerated. Just like police shootings, completely exaggerated,” he adds.

Whitlock points out that while many black people now fear the police, they’re far more likely to be killed by someone who is also black than by a police officer.

“There’s been so much propaganda around it, but when you’re black, when we black people in the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s — they weren’t sitting around living in fear. ‘Oh, the KKK is coming, and they’re going to kill me,’” Whitlock says.

“Did it happen occasionally? Yes. No different than very occasionally the police kill someone in the black community unfairly, but if you’re going to die violently in any community, it’s going to be someone that lives in your community that does it,” he explains.

“If I had been in that audience when Pam Grier said that, I would have shouted out, ‘That’s a lie.’ I literally would have shouted out, ‘That’s a lie,’” he adds.

Whitlock: Female athletes are CHAOS agents destroying women’s sports from within



Women’s basketball is not doing great, and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes it has a lot to do with the feminist attitude of the players — which has led to the failure of making their new Unrivaled basketball league a must-watch.

This new league is a three-versus-three women’s basketball league that WNBA players started last year to play in their off season.

“This is year two. The ratings have absolutely collapsed. There’s 50, 60 thousand people watching these Unrivaled basketball games. Last year, I think 2, 300, 400 thousand people were watching. It is a horrendous product, ... and it’s not surprising to me that it would collapse,” Whitlock explains on “Fearless.”


“Players in the WNBA are causing the collapse of the WNBA, causing the collapse of women’s sports. This is an inside job by the actual players in women’s athletics. They are destroying themselves and their own league. They are destroying women’s sports,” he adds.

Whitlock believes this is a reflection of “matriarchal leadership.”

“They’re not leaders; they’re chaos agents. ... They are actually destroying themselves,” he says.

Whitlock also points out that almost all of the famous women in sports — save Caitlin Clark — have adopted the gender-fluid, race-worshipping, lesbian lifestyle — making them horrific role models for young girls.

“Because Caitlin Clark didn’t fit the lesbian stereotype, she hadn’t adopted the lesbian lifestyle, and because she’s white, the lesbians and the jealous, angry black women have ganged up on her, pushed her out, and made all sports fans deal with, like, ‘Who are these people we’re supporting?’” Whitlock explains.

And this phenomenon is not central to just basketball, but also women’s soccer players like Megan Rapinoe.

“Do I really want Megan Rapinoe as a role model for young girls? These women are insane,” Whitlock says. “And so, I’m sitting here applauding the collapse of the WNBA.”

“This Unrivaled league and the ratings are an embarrassment,” he says. “They’re a statement about how little interest there actually is in women’s basketball beyond Caitlin Clark.”
