Rap superstar Nicki Minaj is a rare gem in the entertainment industry. She likes President Trump and she doesn’t care who knows it.
Minaj appeared on the Laura Ingraham show on FOX News over the weekend to promote an upcoming event and repeated her support for Trump and said that she makes no excuses for any of it.
It’s a shame that there aren’t more successful people in entertainment like Minaj.
From FOX News:
The competition brought five small business owners before a panel of judges, including Minaj and Airbnb’s co-founder, to give their best pitch for a share of a $1 million cash prize pool.
“Small business represents the heart of the country…,” said Minaj. “You don’t have to be a huge household name to be recognized by the president and to be recognized by us.”
Minaj, whom Trump has called a “fantastic person,” addressed the grief she receives for supporting the president, telling Fox News that she has “absolutely nothing” to say to critics and adding that she is “honored” to work with the administration.
“[Trump] is fun,” the rapper said. “He’s not just smart and he’s not just the president, but he’s also someone that I can relate to.”
“He’s very grounded. It’s easy to connect with him, it’s easy feel like he heard you, he understands you,” she continued. “And I just love him, and I’m not going to ever make excuses for that.”
Minaj was also asked when her fans, whom she fondly refers to as “Barbz,” can expect her next tour following a hiatus after her Pink Friday 2 World Tour in 2024.
She urged fans to give her some time as she embraces what she described as her “businesswoman era.”
