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

Trevor Moore's Old Satire Sketch Fuels Death Conspiracy TheoriesFebruary 9, 2026 10:23 PM Full SummaryThe clip from WKUK co-founder Trevor Moore shows robed figures demanding wild pledges like soul sales to Baphomet and lewd acts for blackmail, ending with a handwritten suicide note 'in case things get crazy.' Fans call it eerily prescient after his accidental death at 41 from a drunken fall in his Los Angeles home, with toxicology showing a 0.27% blood alcohol level and no foul play found. While some push 'Arkancide' conspiracies, skeptics cite the coroner's accident ruling and lack of evidence, as WKUK admirers revisit his fearless comedy. Key TakeawayTrevor Moore's biting mock Hollywood initiation sketch—complete with blood oaths and a fake suicide note—has people linking it straight to his 2021 balcony fall.
