President Donald Trump complimented rap mogul Nicki Minaj’s body before she gave a speech at a campaign rally in Detroit on Sunday.
“By the way, I’ve looked at one hell of a beautiful a** before, Nicki Minaj,” Trump said to roaring applause after similarly praising Sen. Jon Husted’s (R-OH) physique, who Trump campaigned for earlier in the month. “That’s hard to miss. Stand up, that’s hard to miss,” he said as Minaj stood up and waved to the crowd.
Trump’s comment continued his run of mentioning campaign attendees’ bodies in moments that often draw laughter from crowds as he looks to shore up voter support ahead of November’s midterm elections. Minaj was in Detroit to campaign for Republican Michigan Senate nominee Mike Rogers and gubernatorial candidate John James.
Minaj eventually took the stage herself at the tail end of the rally, putting her emcee skills to good use and hyping up the crowd.
The Queen of Rap, as the president referred to her, led the crowd in call-and-response chants boosting both Rogers and James before detailing how she’s worked with the president’s team over the past year.

“We really need all of these great people to be elected because this is a major turning point for our country. And when you’re in major states like Michigan, we need this to be a leader in the movement that’s happening right now,” she declared. “So, President Trump, it is an honor to stand with you every single time, and I will continue to support you forever and ever. If you run again, I will support you again.”
“Look at it! Look at this! I mean, everybody, isn’t she great?” Trump added after Minaj left the stage. “She never looked more beautiful, and you see why everybody likes Nicki. Love, like, but she is a very, very special person. She gets it.”
