Trump Calls Nicki Minaj “Hot” and a “Great Friend of Common Sense” During White House Luncheon

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump gave Nicki Minaj a high-profile shoutout during a White House Rose Garden luncheon on Monday, praising the rap superstar as a “great friend,” a person with “common sense,” and even calling her “hot” in front of attendees.

The event celebrated the launch of Trump Accounts, a new investment program designed to help children build wealth through early financial investments. While discussing supporters and guests in attendance, Trump turned his attention to the Grammy-nominated rapper, who was seated among the audience.

“We also have a woman that is so respected and so hot and so great and a great friend of—I don’t say conservative—I say common sense,” Trump said during his remarks.

He continued by applauding Minaj’s career and reputation.

“She’s a fantastic person, and she’s a woman that’s respected by everybody. And she’s got real talent, Nicki Minaj.”

Trump then invited her to stand, drawing applause from the crowd.

“Nicki, stand up, please. Such a great person and respected by everybody.”

Nicki Shares White House Moments

Following the luncheon, Nicki Minaj took to X (formerly Twitter) to share photos and videos documenting her visit to the White House.

One of the most talked-about images featured the rapper posing alongside President Trump inside the Oval Office.

“Whoa!!!! #WhiteHouseBarbie with her favorite President of all time,” she captioned the photo.

She also posted additional photos and behind-the-scenes clips using hashtags including #WhiteHouseBarbie and #VersaceTingz, giving fans a closer look at her visit.

A Public Political Alliance

Nicki Minaj’s appearance at the White House comes as little surprise to followers who have watched her become increasingly vocal about her political views.

The rapper has publicly supported President Trump in recent years and previously praised him during a Turning Point USA event in December 2025.

Speaking at the event, she said:

“I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president. I don’t know if he even knows this, but he has given so many people hope that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys. And to win and to do with your head held high and your integrity intact.”

Her latest White House appearance further reinforces that relationship and is likely to generate significant discussion across both the political and entertainment worlds.

Social Media Reacts

As expected, clips of Trump’s comments quickly spread across social media, sparking mixed reactions. Supporters celebrated the interaction between the president and the rap icon, while critics questioned the remarks and Minaj’s continued public support for Trump.

Regardless of where people stand politically, the moment has become one of the day’s biggest trending topics, highlighting the growing intersection between celebrity culture and American politics.
