American rapper and businesswoman Nicki Minaj surprised millions of followers on X by posting the traditional Jewish greeting "Gmar Chatima Tova" at the end of Yom Kippur. The brief tweet quickly sparked a wave of intense reactions and harsh criticism across social media platforms.
While some users questioned the motivation behind the unexpected message, others reacted with outright confusion and backlash, asking questions like "Since when are you Jewish?" and "What is happening?"
