And she’s got real talent, Nicki Minaj. Nicki, stand up, please. Such a great person and respected by everybody.”
Nicki later shared a video from the Oval Office on X, featuring her posing with a photo of Trump. “Whoa!!!! #WhiteHouseBarbie with her favorite President of all time,” she wrote.
Nicki has been vocal about her support from Trump in recent months, including posting a birthday tribute to him and speaking at the Trump Accounts Summit, where they met and she addressed criticism for her advocacy.
“I am probably the president’s #1 fan, and that’s not going to change,” she said at the time. “The hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more.”
