Donald Trump praises Nicki Minaj as ‘so hot’ during his visit to the White House, stating, ‘She’s a woman that’s respected by everybody’
Nicki Minaj visited the White House this week, where Donald Trump once again expressed his admiration for her.
The rapper was in Washington D.C. to attend the Rose Garden Club lunch, an event that usually functions as a social and political gathering for administration officials or invited supporters. During Trump’s speech at the event on Monday, July 6, he praised Nicki Minaj, calling her “gorgeous” while expressing admiration for her increasing support for his administration.
During his time in office, Trump has consistently expressed gratitude for his celebrity supporters, with Minaj emerging as one of the most prominent entertainers to openly associate herself with him recently.
In a conversation about Nicki, Trump expressed admiration for her, calling her “gorgeous,” while also emphasizing that he doesn’t strictly see her as a Republican or a conservative. Instead, he stated that he views Minaj as a “common sense person.”
He also stated that Minaj is “a woman who’s respected by everyone.”
Prior to Minaj’s visit to the White House later that day, the comments highlighted the rapper’s growing connection to the president.
Nicki later entered the White House, where she posed beside a portrait of Trump, winking while pointing to a drawing of former President Joe Biden’s “autopen.”
She also shared a photo of herself with her “bestie” Carolina Urrea, who is the wife of Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz.
When you and your best friend are thriving. Like?! “Alex is a fortunate man #WhitehouseBarbie,” she wrote in her caption.
Minaj’s embrace of Trump represented a significant shift from the public persona she had developed throughout much of her career.
Recently, the rapper has progressively associated herself with conservative figures and initiatives, sparking discussions among her fanbase. She has shared the stage with conservative commentator Erika Kirk and has reflected conservative perspectives on topics spanning from culture to rap music.
As her political views have gained prominence, Minaj has garnered praise from conservatives while encountering criticism from some of her longtime supporters who have raised questions about her new direction. Throughout her career, individuals from communities of color and LGBTQ+ individuals have been among her most steadfast supporters—many of whom now express concern over her backing a president who frequently voices opposition to their rights.
