The rapper, 43, bragged Saturday on X that she had received a leather-bound autographed bible with President Donald Trump’s signature on the cover. “One of the most meaningful gifts I’ve ever received in my entire life,” Minaj wrote.

It was first sold in 2021 for $60, and the signed one that Minaj shared is listed online starting at $1,000.

Nicki Minaj Says the Moon Landing Was Faked

Nicki Minaj Says the Moon Landing Was Faked

Published by José Betancourt

Congratulations, Moon landing “truthers,” you just gained a powerful new ally: Nicki Minaj. In a recent episode of the Katie Miller podcast, the host asked the rapper if she had any conspiracy theories she believed in, and casually brought up the Moon landing being faked as one classic example. Miller was already moving on to other popular conspiracy theories, until Minaj spoke up. “No… No, I don’t think we landed on the Moon,” Minaj interjected. “You don’t?” asked an incredulous Miller. “No,” Minaj confirmed. “I asked Elon this one,” continued Miller, who formerly served under Elon Musk as communications director for his Department of Government Efficiency. “He said we did indeed land on the Moon.” Neither party elaborated. And what else is there to say? Humans have been to the surface of the Moon six times, starting with NASA’s Apollo 11 mission in 1969 and ending with Apollo 17 in 1972. In all, 12 astronauts — all men — have set foot on the lunar surface, though that may change with NASA’s upcoming Artemis 3 …

How Nicki Minaj Took MAGA by the Hand

How Nicki Minaj Took MAGA by the Hand

“The hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all,” Minaj said as Trump smiled behind her on Wednesday. “It actually motivates me to support him more.” It was, despite the online outcry, a natural attitudinal fit: Her career has been powered in part by her appetite for protracted public feuds with her fellow female rappers, Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B among them, both of whom endorsed Kamala Harris during the 2024 campaign. “You look pretty good behind the seal, by the way,” Bruesewitz told Minaj during a fireside chat. “I must admit: Your competition, which really isn’t competition, didn’t really look good behind the seal when they were with Kamala Harris.” Trump’s affiliation with hip-hop more broadly dates back to his time in New York’s nightclubs during the ’90s, a history evoked by his answers to recent questions about whether he would consider pardoning Sean “Diddy” Combs. After inspiring countless rap lyrics in the decades to follow, his 2024 campaign advisers figured they could lean into the outlaw …

The audience at the star-studded ceremony laughed and cheered in response to Noah’s joke, with Chrissy Teigen even giving a thumbs up to the camera. Noah then jokingly gave his best presidential impression, saying in Trump’s voice: “Actually Nicki, I have the biggest ass! Everybody’s saying it. I know they say it’s you, but it’s me. WAP, WAP, …

How Nicki Minaj went from Queen of Rap to Trump cheerleader

Once known as the “Queen of Rap” who trailblazed a path for female rappers with hits like “Anaconda” and “Super Bass,” the star has found herself exiled from the genre in recent years amid feuds with other celebrities and criticism over her marriage to a convicted sex offender. But as Minaj faced rejection from her peers and the industry that once celebrated her, she grew more popular among conservatives for her outspoken support of Donald Trump.

Nicki Minaj to Appear with Trump at Event to Launch Trump Accounts

Published by Daniella Wilson

The U.S. Treasury Department is planning a star-studded summit Wednesday tied to the launch of “Trump Accounts,” and The Hollywood Reporter has learned that rapper Nicki Minaj, Marty Supreme and Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary, and Curb Your Enthusiasm star (and spouse of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) Cheryl Hines are all slated to join President Trump and Secretary Scott Bessent at the event. Trump accounts are a new type of tax-advantaged individual retirement account for children that parents, guardians, employers and other donors can contribute to, and were created in last year’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” The specific details of the summit remain under wraps for now, though Trump and Bessent are both scheduled to deliver remarks, and it will be streamed on X. It will also include “policy briefings” and “expert discussions,” per Treasury. “The summit will convene senior administration officials, everyday Americans, and key stakeholders to outline how Trump Accounts work, discuss projected economic impacts, and emphasize the administration’s commitment to expanding financial opportunity for American families,” the department says.
