Analysis Claims Fake Accounts Boost Nicki Minaj's Conservative PostsFebruary 23, 2026 7:50 PM Full SummaryA Cyabra analysis of interactions with Minaj's posts from November 11 to December 28, 2025, found 18,784 inauthentic accounts out of 55,469 profiles, making up 33% overall and 56% of comments on one key day. These fakes pushed topics like Christian persecution in Nigeria, anti-gender transition views, Trump support, and Democrat attacks, using bot-like repetitive phrases and timed bursts to game algorithms. Trump ally Alex Bruesewitz called the findings '100% BS,' pointing to Minaj's real 26 million followers and Cyabra's music industry ties to rivals like Cardi B as evidence of bias. Key TakeawayNicki Minaj's shift to conservative causes drew massive engagement on X, but a new report spots a twist: thousands of fake profiles fueling the buzz. Context & EntitiesTopics

Guadalajara's Estadio Akron, set for four World Cup matches, saw major disruptions as violence hit near stadiums and the airport grounded flights.

Edo Demolishes Cult-Linked Buildings in Benin City CrackdownFebruary 23, 2026 12:59 AM Full SummaryEdo State authorities demolished a structure in Amagba, arresting two suspected Aye confraternity members while declaring four others wanted; they also sealed a property owned by fugitive Maphite financier Etiosa Akhiombare Joshua. This follows Governor Monday Okpebholo's January 2025 law, which mandates property demolition for knowingly harboring cultists and carries severe penalties like death for cult killings. Spokesperson Eribo Enwanta says the moves aim to stop cult violence that has cost Edo over $1 billion yearly, with residents divided—some praising reduced murders, others questioning if it oversteps on due process. Key TakeawayExcavators rolled in amid crowds in Amagba, tearing down a building where suspected Aye cult members had holed up. It's part of a bold push to end years of score-settling violence gripping Benin City. Context & EntitiesTopics
