Overview
- Minaj told Laura Ingraham on Fox News Friday that she “just love[s]” President Trump and said she will not apologize for working with his administration.
- The rapper served as a judge for the Small Business Administration’s Million Dollar Pitch competition, which held its live finale in Washington, D.C., with Grant Cardone and Joe Gebbia on the panel and Dean Cain hosting.
- She said public criticism has only strengthened her support and noted a personal rapport with Trump after he publicly praised her at the Melania documentary premiere.
- Minaj insisted her concerts will remain nonpolitical and framed her current work as part of a “businesswoman era,” telling critics she has no excuses to make for these choices.
- Coverage of her turn to visible administration roles has appeared mainly in entertainment and conservative outlets, and she is reported to be scheduled to speak at the X/Tesla event on October 10, a development that could deepen her ties to pro-Trump platforms and reshape reactions from fans and industry peers.
