Donald Trump’s comment about a globally renowned rap artist has been branded "gross" and "creepy." The President of the United States made the remark during a White House Rose Garden luncheon where Nicki Minaj was present.
During the event, Trump recognized Minaj, but his choice of words drew immediate criticism. Observers reacted strongly, labeling his language as inappropriate and unsettling.
Critics flocked to X, expressing their outrage. Aaron Rupar highlighted the incident, sharing a video of Trump declaring Minaj "so hot." This isn’t the first time Trump has faced backlash for making questionable comments about women, having previously been called out for remarks about Taylor Swift.
In the video, Trump stated, "We also have a woman that is so respected and so hot and so great and such a great friend of, I don’t say conservative, I say of common sense. She’s a fantastic person and she’s a woman that’s respected by everybody and she’s got real talent. Nicki Minaj."
The clip ignited a firestorm of discussion online, with many users expressing shock at his comments. The term "creepy" was frequently used to describe his description of Minaj.
Critics argued that his remarks blurred the lines of respect. One user bluntly stated, "This dude is a pig." Another chimed in with, "That’s just gross." A third added, "So inappropriate," while others noted that Trump's praise would certainly spark conversations.
One user remarked on the unexpected nature of the event, saying, "2026 is wild. Never thought I’d see Trump hyping Nicki in the Rose Garden."
Minaj has been an outspoken supporter of Trump, frequently appearing as a guest of honor during his second term. This connection may explain his effusive praise for her.
Just last week, reports surfaced that Trump was allegedly enraged after being trolled by Hunter Biden.
