MAGA Minaj! Rapper Nicki Minaj Praises Donald Trump: “I Have the Utmost Respect & Admiration”

Nicki Minaj made headlines for her mere presence at AmFest alongside Erika Kirk. And now she’s set to make a multitude more thanks to her comments about President Donald Trump.

In recent months, the femcee has sprinkled praise on the political polarizer.

Now, though, she’s being much more direct – professing her “respect and admiration” for Trump and his administration.

Full story below…

Sitting alongside Erika, who has been appointed the leader of the right-wing entity Turning Point USA in the wake of husband Charlie Kirk‘s assassination, Minaj was quizzed about Trump.

And she didn’t hold back.

She gushed:

“I have the utmost respect and admiration for our President. I don’t know if he even knows this, but he has given so many people hope that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys and to win […] He’s from Queens, New York, like me. What it has shown me, personally, is sometimes, even at the worst feeling time in your life, you think that you’re never going to come back from it – but you do. Our President shows that, he’s been through every single thing publicly and having to be constantly lied on.”

Continuing, Minaj added:

“This administration is full of people with heart and soul, and they make me proud of them. I love both [President Trump and VP JD Vance]. They’re both powerful men, smart, strong, but both have a very uncanny ability to be someone you can relate to. I can relate to them. I know they’re one of us.”
