Nicki Minaj engagement report
@NICKIMINAJ - 27M followers on X
Measured over 12 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 18K interactions against 27M followers, an engagement rate of 0.067%. Measured over 12 original posts, its engagement rate beats 79% of 3,716 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 1.2M times each, and 1.52% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.43% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.67 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 12 posts sampled, 92% carry an image or video and 8% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 141K interactions, about 7.8x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #xtakeover, #gagcitysub, #nickitrivia.

Compared with accounts its own size
Nicki Minaj's engagement rate beats 79% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,716 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 68% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Stephen A. Smith publicly APOLOGIZES to Kyrie Irving after calling him "selfish" for refusing the COVID jab. "Hindsight-wise, it didnβt make him stubborn or selfish. It made him BRAVE." "I watched Dr. Fauci on Capitol Hill yesterday, and the person I thought about most was Kyrie Irving." βKyrie Irving stood out in my mind because of the heat that he was taking... He refused the vaccine. New York City's mandate made him ineligible for home games, and he linked his stance to people losing jobs over vaccine mandates." βIn my opinion, particularly hindsight-wise, it didn't make him stubborn or selfish. It made him brave. His willingness to stand up and say, βNah, I'm not doing that.β βIt's just a time for reflection β to look at things differently.β Kyrie gave up $11,400,000 in game checks during the 21-22 NBA season and a $100,000,000 extension with the Nets to be unvaccinated. That cements his holdout as the largest financial sacrifice any athlete has ever made over an issue in history.
