Nicki Minaj had a very busy weekend in politics. During a campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan on Sunday, Trump shifted from his usual rally material to praise Minaj’s appearance, saying“That’s hard to miss!”as she stood and waved in a conservative business suit. He added,“I hope Nicki wasn’t insulted, but we love Nicki.”The crowd’s reaction says it all.
Then the moment got bigger. Trump called Minaj to the stage, where she led a“We love Trump!”chant and joked she’d support him again if he ran another time. The crossover didn’t stop at the rally, either. White House communications director Steven Cheung posted video of Minaj aboard Air Force One, praising Trump’s business skills and dismissing“fake polls”as Cheung joked she could be the new press secretary.
Minaj has been a loud Trump supporter throughout his second term, and fans are definitely split on how this weekend played out. One thing is clear: celebrity politics isn’t going anywhere heading into the midterms. So what’s your take? Would you watch a Nicki Minaj press briefing?
