United States President Donald Trump has sparked intense global debate after publicly describing rap superstar Nicki Minaj as “so hot” during an official presentation at the White House.
The remarks were made during a widely shared video captured on Monday, where Trump introduced the chart-topping artist at a Rose Garden luncheon. In his address to the crowd, the president heavily praised Minaj’s musical talent and her unwavering public support for his administration, blending professional commendations with highly personal compliments.
“We also have a woman that is respected and so hot. She is such a great friend, a fantastic person, a woman that is respected by everybody, and she’s got real talent; we have Nicki Minaj.” Donald Trump said.
“WhiteHouseBarbie” embraces the spotlight despite public backlash
Minaj appeared completely comfortable with the president’s flattering introduction, quickly taking to social media to celebrate the high-profile occasion. Sharing photos from the Rose Garden on X (formerly Twitter), the rapper playfully dubbed herself “#WhiteHouseBarbie” while boldly crowning Trump her “favorite President of all time.”
The event cements a growing political alliance between the hip-hop icon and the commander-in-chief. Minaj previously turned heads a few months ago when she attended the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, where she brushed off intense public scrutiny by declaring herself the president’s “number one fan” and stating she remains entirely indifferent to online criticism.
