Nicki Minaj attended Elon Musk's SpaceX Starship V3 launch at Boca Chica Beach, Texas, adding a celebrity flair to the event. However, the launch was abruptly canceled due to technical difficulties caused by a malfunctioning hydraulic pin on the launch tower. Musk welcomed Minaj via Twitter, where she expressed her admiration, saying, "Major shoutout to Elon. Thank you for everything you're doing for humanity." He indicated that another launch attempt could occur on Friday at 5:30 CT if repairs are completed in time.

Minaj's presence at the launch is notable, especially as she has been vocal in her support for Donald Trump, calling herself his "number one fan" and pledging to assist him in the upcoming midterm elections. Her political alignment has shifted significantly, influenced by personal incidents that made her feel disregarded by Democratic leaders. Despite her support for Trump, it remains to be seen how her celebrity status will impact the political landscape as the midterms approach.
