While speaking during the celebration, the president paused his prepared remarks to highlight Minaj, who had appeared with him in Washington just weeks earlier. As the audience reacted, Trump began praising the rapper’s beauty and continued with a string of compliments that focused heavily on her physical features.

He described her as “so beautiful,” drawing particular attention to her skin and nails. As he spoke, he gestured toward his face and even used his hands to show the length of her nails, joking about whether they were real. Trump continued to express admiration for Minaj, noting that she had recently visited the White House and saying she “gets it,” a comment that appeared to reference her public support for him.

The moment added to a growing list of public interactions between the two. In late January, Minaj joined Trump in Washington to help promote the launch of “Trump Accounts” for American babies, a new initiative she pledged to support financially. During that appearance, the two were photographed together, with Minaj’s signature long nails and glamorous style drawing attention online.

At that earlier event, Trump also complimented her nails and joked that he might grow his own to match. Minaj, in turn, spoke positively about the president, even describing herself as one of his biggest supporters. Their exchange sparked widespread discussion across social media, with reactions ranging from amusement to criticism.
