A Nicki Minaj Tweet Has The Internet Convinced She Predicted Henry Kissinger's Death

The rapper posted Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter, how fans had 'no idea what's about to happen' shortly before the announcement of Kissinger's death—and fans rolled with it.

Rapper Nicki Minaj has always had her fingers on the pulse since the moment she arrived on the music industry scene. But now it turns out she might actually be clairvoyant.

That's the joke that circulated the internet, anyway, after Minaj's posts on X, aka Twitter, coincided with the death of former US Secretary of State and national security advisor Henry Kissinger in a way that seemed eerily prescient—or maybe even incriminating.


Kissinger's involvement in the deadly bombing campaigns in Southeast Asia during the administrations of Presidents Nixon and Ford in the 1970s has led many to brand him a war criminal in recent years.

Hence, the news of his death wasn't exactly greeted with sadness by all corners of the internet. So when Minaj tweeted about her upcoming album just hours before his death was announced, people ran with the joke, and ran with it hard.

Minaj's tweet read:

"The fact that y’all have no idea what’s about to happen."

The tweet was in reference to the December 8 release of her new album Pink Friday 2. But the timing was simply too coincidental for an elaborate joke about Kissinger not to quickly flourish.

The tweet sparked all kinds of jokes, in fact, and not just ones about Kissinger.

People cracked wise about everything, including Seinfeld returning to TV.

And obscure film references.

Their own inability to hold their liquor.

But, mostly, it was joke after joke about Minaj having not only known about Kissinger's passing, but also maybe being the one to have done the deed herself.

And a new meme was quickly born.





Minaj herself has neither confirmed nor denied the allegations springing from her viral tweet. Interpret that as you wish.

Musk Slammed For Criticizing 'Suicidal Empathy' Of SCOTUS Justices Who Ruled In Favor Of Due Process

Once again borrowing from the language of the toxic, insecure, red pill/blue pill, alpha male, incel subcultures that gave rise to public figures like Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes, Elon Musk attacked the women of the United States Supreme Court for following the rule of law and the United States Constitution instead of showing fealty to Republican President Donald Trump.

In a 4-5 dissent, only the women of SCOTUS decided the core of our justice system—due process—can stop the kinds of mistakes Trump's Department of Homeland Security is making routinely, like ICE abducting and deporting innocent people with visa or green cards to a hellish prison in El Salvador.
