Rapper Nicki Minaj wished President Donald Trump a happy 80th birthday on X Sunday and got dissed by observers for using fake photos with him.

Minaj’s drift toward MAGA and its leader has been well-chronicled. She even has real pictures of her with the president from earlier this year at the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, D.C., like this one of her holding his hand.

The AI-gallery features her as Marilyn Monroe on the arm of Trump, as a hoodie-wearing match with the president, and in a pink-wearing foursome with Trump, Elon Musk and Sydney Sweeney in a car.

“Real recognize real,” she wrote.

There’s also an apparent re-creation of her hand-holding moment with Trump in animation.

“Happy 80th birthday Mr. President,” she wrote.

“Nicki, you look pathetic simping for him in this fake pic. me? I’d never degrade myself like that for any prez and definitely not Trump,” one person wrote.

“NICKI POSTING HER SUGAR DADDY BUT WHY USE AI WHEN YOU HAVE HIS REAL PICTURES?” another commented.
