Why not Trick Daddy for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 52-year-old rapper, as a 2026 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Trick Daddy so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the rapper have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Miami Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Miami (Trick Daddy's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the rapper was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Trick Daddy Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveTrick”

“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Trick Daddy?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 12 Dec 2025
Could 2026 officially be the Year of Trick Daddy?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2026 Person of the Year.
