Nicki Minaj says she’s probably Trump’s ‘No. 1 fan’

Nicki Minaj is calling herself President Trump’s biggest fan, saying her support for him won’t waiver despite the “hate” from critics. 

“I will say that I am probably the president’s No. 1 fan,” the “Starships” rapper told the crowd Wednesday at a Treasury Department-hosted summit in Washington to launch “Trump Accounts” for newborn babies.

“And that’s not going to change,” the 43-year-old performer continued.

“The hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more, and it’s going to motivate all of us to support him more,” said Minaj, who was born Onika Maraj.

“We’re not going to let them get away with bullying him and the smear campaigns. It’s not going to work, OK? He has a lot of force behind him, and God is protecting him,” she said ahead of remarks by Trump at the event.

While in 2020 Minaj said she wouldn’t “jump on the Donald Trump bandwagon,” in recent years she’s become a vocal supporter of the president.

Last month, the entertainer made a surprise appearance at Turning Point USA’s annual conference.

“I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president,” Minaj said at the time. 

“He has, I don’t know if he even knows this, but he’s given so many people hope that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys and to win and to do it with your head held high and your integrity intact. He’s from Queens, New York, like me,” she said. 

At Wednesday’s event, the commander in chief expressed his own praise for Minaj, referring to her as the “greatest and most successful female rapper in history” and thanking her for donating “hundreds of thousands of dollars” into the Trump accounts. 

“I just think she’s great,” Trump said of Minaj.

“I didn’t know Nicki, and I’ve been hearing over the years she’s a big Trump supporter, or Trump fan. And she took a little heat on occasion because her community isn’t necessarily a Trump fan,” he said.

Trump, who at one point was seen holding hands with Minaj — who was sporting extremely long painted nails — told the audience with a laugh, “I’m going to let my nails grow because I love those nails. I’m going to let those nails grow.”
