US President Donald Trump praised rapper Nicki Minaj during the Black History Month Reception at the White House on Monday, highlighting her beauty and extravagant nails. The praise follows Minaj’s recent visit to the White House, where she was awarded a Gold Card, making her an official citizen.
“I love Nicki Minaj,” Trump told the media, adding, “How about Nicki Minaj? Do we love Nicki Minaj? I love Nicki Minaj…Skin so beautiful, she’s so beautiful.” He went on to describe a conversation he had with her regarding her nails, saying, “I said, ‘Nicki, you’re so beautiful.’ Her nails are like that long, I said, ‘Nicki, are they real?’ She didn’t want to get into that. But she was so beautiful and so great, and she gets it, more importantly.”
The remarks come after Minaj publicly declared herself as Trump’s “No. 1 fan” and shared a photo op with the former president that attracted widespread attention online. Social media users were quick to react to the visual, particularly noting the striking contrast of Minaj’s long nails wrapped around Trump’s hand.
