Nicki Minaj made headlines again, this time not for music, fashion, or chart dominance, but for politics.
Appearing at the Trump Accounts Summit, the rapper publicly reaffirmed her support for President Donald Trump, calling herself “probably the president’s No. 1 fan.” Minaj said the criticism she’s received over her political views hasn’t discouraged her in fact, she says it’s done the opposite.
“The hate… it actually motivates me to support him more,” Minaj said from the podium.
Trump returned the praise, calling Minaj “great” and joking that he might grow his nails out to match hers.
Also joining Minaj on stage was Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary, who thanked Trump on behalf of American entrepreneurs. Minaj used the moment to praise Trump and Vice President JD Vance, describing them as relatable leaders who remain connected to everyday Americans.
While Minaj previously supported Democratic candidates, she said her political involvement began during Trump’s second term, noting that the current Republican administration gave her hope during challenging times. She also expressed respect for Trump and Vance at events like Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, emphasizing that she believes their leadership makes Americans proud to be American.
Trump acknowledged that Minaj has faced pushback, particularly because “her community isn’t necessarily a Trump fan,” but Minaj made it clear she’s unfazed and not backing down.
Whether fans are applauding, confused, or clutching their playlists, one thing is clear: Nicki Minaj is standing ten toes down in her political era.
