President Donald Trump’s admiration for Nicki Minaj continued this week at the White House.
Trump Praises Minaj During Black History Month Event
On Wednesday, February 18, Donald Trump complimented the “Anaconda” rapper during a speech for a Black History Month event. Trump described Minaj as “beautiful” and acknowledged her “political prowess.”
“How about Nicki Minaj? Do we love Nicki Minaj? I love Nicki Minaj. She was here a couple weeks ago. She’s so beautiful,” Trump raved. “I said, ‘Nicki, you’re so beautiful.’ Her nails are like that long, I said, ‘Nicki are they real?’ She didn’t want to get into that. But she was so beautiful and so great and she gets it, more importantly.”
The president’s remarks came as he also noted other iconic Black Americans, including Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King Jr., and boxer Muhammad Ali. He stated that Black History Month is “all about American history.”
Trump concluded by saying, “Happy Black History Month, Happy Black History Year, and happy Black History Century.”
Last month, Minaj publicly expressed support for Trump at an event promoting “Trump Accounts.” She stated, “I am probably the President’s number one fan, and that’s not going to change.” She also said that criticism would only “motivate” her to support him further.
At the January 28 event, Minaj and President Trump were photographed holding hands. Minaj’s hand featured long nails, while the president’s hand displayed makeup covering a bruise.
