President Trump publicly called Nicki Minaj “so hot” while praising her at a White House Rose Garden luncheon on Monday, and the rapper embraced the moment online with her “#WhiteHouseBarbie” post.
President Donald Trump gave Nicki Minaj an eyebrow-raising shoutout at a White House Rose Garden luncheon on Monday, mixing business praise with a personal compliment that’s now going viral.
Introducing the rap superstar during his remarks, Trump called her “so respected and so hot and so great,” adding she was a “fantastic person” with “real talent.” He later brought her up again while discussing the Small Business Administration, praising her business success, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
According to Daily Post, Minaj, clearly unbothered by the attention, took to X to share highlights from her day, captioning her post “Whoa! #WhiteHouseBarbie with her favorite President of all time!”
The luncheon appearance is the latest chapter in Minaj’s increasingly public alignment with Trump. At January’s Trump Accounts Summit, she declared herself “probably the president’s No. 1 fan,” insisting that “the hate, or what people have to say… does not affect me at all.” She added that criticism actually motivates her to support him more.
Online reaction to Trump’s “so hot” remark has been mixed, with some social media users calling it inappropriate given the professional setting, while others found the moment amusing.
