Nicki Minaj Declares Support for Trump, Says No Apologies

Rapper Nicki Minaj publicly declared her unwavering support for President Donald Trump during a Friday night interview, stating she is honored to work with his administration and will not apologize for her political stance. The comments came during an appearance on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle," where Minaj was interviewed alongside Small Business Administration head Kelly Loeffler. Minaj described Trump as "smart, fun, and grounded," adding that he is someone she can relate to. "Every time I see him or every time I see him speaking to other people, he's just himself," she said. "It's easy to connect with him. It's easy to feel like he heard you. He understands you. I just love him. I'm not going to ever make excuses for that." When asked what she says to critics of her partnership with the administration, Minaj replied, "Absolutely nothing." She emphasized that her support is personal and not something she feels compelled to justify. The interview was tied to Minaj's role as a judge for the Trump administration's SBA Million Dollar Pitch Competition, which held its finale on Friday in Washington.
