Nicole Scherzinger has also pursued a solo career in pop music, releasing two studio albums, Killer Love (2011) and Big Fat Lie (2014).

Nicole Scherzinger has recently been causing controversy over her statements regarding the US election, when she publicly supported Mr. Trump. She even had to quickly post an apology after receiving a storm of "brickbats".

On November 8, Nicole Scherzinger wrote on Instagram: "I am deeply sorry for the hurt I have caused with some of my recent social media posts. I made a mistake in not realizing that they could easily be interpreted as political and I apologize to anyone who jumped to that conclusion." The 46-year-old singer emphasized that her social media actions do not reflect who she is, her political views or who she voted for.

The Don't Cha singer became the target of gossip after fans discovered she commented on a post shared by British actor Russell Brand on the 2024 US Presidential election day (November 5).

In the photo, Brand is holding a red baseball cap that closely resembles the one Trump wore on election day. The difference is that Trump's cap says "Make American Great Again" (MAGA), while Brand's cap says "Make Jesus First Again." "Where did you get this hat?" Nicole wrote under the post.

Viewers also noticed that the singer "Liked" a post by former US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on her personal page, which mentioned bringing Mr. Trump back to the White House. Nicole's fans saw this as an indirect confirmation of her support for Mr. Trump.

Most of Nicole's critics belong to the LGBTQIA community. For them, the 1978-born beauty has betrayed them by siding with the government that discriminates against people of the third gender. Previously, they declared themselves loyal supporters of the Broadway star throughout her career, which spanned the 1990s.

"Imagine using gay people to promote your new show and then abandoning us at the ballot box. Shameful!", "Any Tony nominations will disappear into the wind, just like your LGBTQIA fans. Goodbye"... are comments expressing disappointment in Nicole.

In her apology, the former Pussycat Dolls member asserted that the minority community who felt hurt and concerned about the results of the presidential election were the ones she cared about the most. She emphasized that she had always stood by them throughout her life and career.

Ultimately, Nicole explained that she responded to the posts because she thought she was encouraging people to choose love and faith - putting Jesus first. "I come from a place of love and I will always support values that bring us closer together. It's important that we come together with compassion and love each other more than ever," she concluded. Nicole did not specify who she voted for. However, there is reason to believe that she would vote for Mr. Trump.

Nicole Scherzinger was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on June 29, 1978. Her father, Alfonso Valiente, left her mother, Rosemary Elikolani Frederick, when Nicole was only two years old. Her mother later married German-American Gary Scherzinger, who eventually adopted Nicole and moved the family to Louisville, Kentucky when she was six years old. She was raised with strong religious and conservative beliefs because her grandfather was a priest.

Nicole Scherzinger decided to devote her time to work on her second album with The Pussycat Dolls, Doll Domination (2008). In 2010, The Pussycat Dolls disbanded. In 2011, Nicole released her solo album Killer Love in the UK. It sold 140,000 copies and became the best-selling album in the UK.

However, her name still did not resonate in the US. RCA Records terminated her contract in 2015, after her second solo album - Big Fat Lie - did not generate high revenue. According to The Washington Post, Nicole Scherzinger failed because she did not have the support of the record company and was also the victim of the music product being leaked before the release date.

When her singing career didn't take off, Nicole Scherzinger tried her luck in reality TV and movies. In 2010, she won the 10th season of Dancing with the Stars. The following year, Nicole signed on as a coach on The X-Factor. In 2015, Nicole Scherzinger won the first season of I Can Do That, where stars compete on talent.
