  "account": "Nicki Minaj has firmly declared that she will not be distancing herself from President Donald Trump, despite his recent public praise for her. During a recent Oval Office meeting, Trump described Minaj as his \"favorite\" and noted that she had been with him for a considerable amount of time. Minaj, clad in a daring white-and-black dress, greeted him with a high-pitched \"Hi, Mr. President.\" She reiterated her unwavering allegiance on X, stating, \"Not going anywhere. Right where I need to be.\" The \"Super Bass\" rapper has been a vocal supporter of Trump, serving as a judge for his administration's Million Dollar Pitch Competition and praising him at various events. Trump himself has consistently championed Minaj, calling her his \"No. 1 fan\" and praising her talent during a presidential luncheon. Despite this, her support of Trump has drawn criticism from some of her fans and collaborators, with Cyndi Lauper defending her decision to work with Minaj by emphasizing her belief in the importance of discussion and not canceling artists.",
