Nicki Minaj Lands Press Secretary Buzz After Mock Briefing on Air Force One

The president offered a different sort of compliment for the outspoken rapper and supporter at his Michigan rally.

On October 25, rapper Nicki Minaj traveled in Air Force One alongside former President Donald Trump and his administration members to a Republican rally in Port Huron, Michigan. The singer shared a video of herself on the presidential jet, walking around and adjusting her hair, captioning it "#AirForceOneBARBIE" with an airplane emoji.

Trump introduced Minaj to the audience, calling her the "queen of rap" and praised her beauty, leading to the viral phrase "that's hard to miss." Minaj expressed her support for Trump, stating she would continue to back him in future campaigns and suggested not pushing children towards transgender issues. White House communications director Steven Cheung posted a clip on X, jokingly announcing Minaj as a potential new White House Press Secretary.

Minaj has been closely aligned with Trump and the Republican Party since meeting him in the Oval Office on October 20 and reaffirming her loyalty.
