Nicki Minaj is not tiptoeing around her political views, and she made that very clear during a Friday night appearance on FOX News’The Ingraham Angle. When asked what she would say to people criticizing her support for President Donald Trump, her answer was blunt:“Absolutely nothing.”She went on to describe Trump as relatable and grounded, adding,“I just love him. And I’m not going to ever make excuses for that.”
She also made a claim that has social media buzzing. According to Minaj, plenty of other celebrities share her views but stay silent out of fear.“Sometimes you just need one brave person to get the brunt of the impact,”she said. Unsurprisingly, that comment alone sparked a flood of reactions online, with people debating whether she is genuinely speaking a hidden truth or just stirring the pot.
Beyond the interview, Minaj is set to judge Trump’s Million Dollar Pitch Competition, a reality show that awards $1 million to five small-business entrepreneurs. The final round took place Friday in Washington, D.C., hosted by Dean Cain. So whether you agree with her or not, Minaj is officially a fixture in both the music world and the political spotlight right now.
