\nRapper Nicki Minaj is not backing down in her support for President Donald Trump.
Minaj appeared at the Trump Accounts Summit on Wednesday and was brought on stage by the president. She received applause as she joined Trump along with \u00ab\u00a0Shark Tank\u00a0\u00bb star Kevin O’Leary. The president told her, \u00ab\u00a0We did pretty well with your community.\u00a0\u00bb
The \u00ab\u00a0Super Bass\u00a0\u00bb singer said the \u00ab\u00a0hate\u00a0\u00bb she receives only motivates her to support Trump even more.
\u00ab\u00a0Well, I don’t know what to say, but I will say that I am probably the president’s number one fan\u00a0\u00bb, Minaj told the crowd. \u00ab\u00a0And that’s not going to change. And the hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more.\u00a0\u00bb
\u00ab\u00a0And it’s gonna motivate all of us to support him more\u00a0\u00bb, she added. \u00ab\u00a0We’re not going let them get away with bullying him and the smear campaigns. It’s not gonna work, OK? He has a lot of force behind him, and God is protecting him. Amen.\u00a0\u00bb
O’Leary also spoke to the crowd, thanking Trump on behalf of the entrepreneurs of America.
\u00ab\u00a0On behalf of all the entrepreneurs in America, I’d like to thank you, Mr. President, because we create 72% of the jobs, companies 5 to 500 employees, and all we care about is policy\u00a0\u00bb, he said. \u00ab\u00a0We love policy, pro-business policy, and these accounts are fantastic for independence and support. I thank you very much.\u00a0\u00bb
\u00ab\u00a0It’s all about the entrepreneur, and I think you know that, sir\u00a0\u00bb, O’Leary continued.
Trump returned to the microphone afterward.
\u00ab\u00a0A little interlude\u00a0\u00bb, Trump joked as Minaj and O’Leary left the stage. \u00ab\u00a0Much better than getting Scott Bessent up.\u00a0\u00bb
Minaj \u2014 widely known as the \u00ab\u00a0queen of rap\u00a0\u00bb since her 2010 \u00ab\u00a0Pink Friday\u00a0\u00bb album debut \u2014 has achieved enormous success over her career.
The 43-year-old rapper dipped her toes into politics during Trump’s second term as president.
She’s expressed support for Trump on social media and recently turned up to Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference. Minaj praised Trump and Vice President JD Vance during her surprise appearance. Despite her past support for Democratic candidates, Minaj described the \u00ab\u00a0utmost\u00a0\u00bb respect she had for the Republican administration, particularly for giving people hope during dark times.
She added that she considers both Trump and Vance to be \u00ab\u00a0one of us\u00a0\u00bb based on how they relate to everyday Americans.
\u00ab\u00a0They haven’t lost touch of the world\u00a0\u00bb, Minaj said. \u00ab\u00a0You know, they’re still connected to the world. And what’s happening in the world, with the younger people and older people, with the richer people and not so rich people, they have the ability to still connect and be real and make us feel proud to be American.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
