Shopper Trashes Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday 2 Album in Viral ClipDecember 27, 2025 3:07 AM Full SummaryThe 18-second TikTok video shows the person holding up the pink-wrapped 2023 album, declaring 'This is what we're not gonna do' and 'End of the fucking era,' sparking divided reactions. It comes amid backlash to Minaj's recent praise for President-elect Donald Trump and JD Vance at AmericaFest 2025 in Phoenix on December 21, plus her deactivated Instagram after alienating some LGBTQ+ fans with her conservative shift. Supporters cheer the shade as real, while Barbz defend her fiercely, accusing critics of performative activism amid personal jabs. Key TakeawayA shopper struts through a store aisle, grabs two copies of Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday 2, and dramatically calls it a 'disgrace' with flair and nail clicks. Context & EntitiesTopics
