Rapper Nicki Minaj has declared during a recent podcast interview that the United States never landed on the moon, stating outright: “No… No, I don’t think we landed on the Moon.” The revelation came unexpectedly in an episode of Katie Miller’s podcast, where Minaj interrupted Miller’s discussion of conspiracy theories with the assertion.
Miller had previously referenced the 1969 Apollo missions as a common point of debate when Minaj interjected her claim. When pressed by Miller about whether Elon Musk confirmed the moon landing occurred, Minaj replied: “I asked Elon this one.” The exchange concluded without further elaboration from either participant.
The statement drew immediate attention on social media and sparked reactions from Fox News’ Gutfeld! panel. Greg Gutfeld labeled Minaj a “new MAGA queen” but admitted her moon landing belief was “crazy,” characterizing it as “not a harmful belief, it’s a recreational belief.” Comedian Adam Hunter quipped: “You’re not a space expert just because everyone stares at your anus.” Emily Campagno suggested the claim wasn’t “disqualifying,” while Tyrus criticized the right’s tendency to embrace figures who support the president, saying: “We brought you into the house. We let you sit at the big table, and you say some dumb shit like this.”
