Chucky Creator Slams Nicki Minaj's "Vote Red" Post
5 Nov
Summary
- Chucky creator Don Mancini rejected Nicki Minaj's use of the doll in a "Vote Red" post.
- Mancini stated Chucky supports the "blue wave" and progressive values.
- He highlighted Chucky's trans child and anti-ICE stance in his rebuttal.
Don Mancini, the originator of the horror icon Chucky, has strongly criticized rapper Nicki Minaj for employing the killer doll's image in an AI-generated "Vote Red" campaign post. The filmmaker declared that Chucky embodies the "blue wave," destined to eliminate corruption, directly challenging Minaj's endorsement of conservative politics. Mancini further clarified Chucky's progressive alignment, stating the character has a transgender child and opposes ICE policies. These sentiments were expressed following the 2026 midterm elections, where Minaj actively supported conservative candidates.
Mancini, known for his outspoken progressive views, has consistently infused queer themes into the Chucky franchise since its inception in the 1980s. The character of Glen/Glenda, introduced in 2004's Seed of Chucky, represents a non-binary identity, reflecting Mancini's commitment to inclusivity. This stands in stark contrast to Minaj's recent public stances, which have drawn criticism for perceived xenophobic and transphobic remarks from former supporters.
