US President Donald Trump has drawn attention after publicly commenting on rapper Nicki Minaj’s appearance during a campaign rally in Michigan.
Trump made the remark on Saturday, 24 October 2026, at McMorran Place Arena in Port Huron, where he was campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers.
Referring to Minaj, who had travelled to Michigan with him aboard Air Force One, Trump told the crowd:
“I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before. Nicki Minaj. That’s hard to miss.”
He then asked the rapper to stand up before adding that he hoped she had not been offended by his comment.
“I hope Nicki wasn’t insulted, but we love Nicki. She’s been with us for a long time,” Trump said.
Minaj stood and acknowledged the crowd as attendees cheered.
The comment came as Minaj continued to publicly support Trump and his administration. She has increasingly appeared alongside figures associated with his political movement.
Trump’s remarks quickly attracted attention, adding to a series of recent comments he has made about the physical appearance of political figures.
