NewzPresident Donald Trump wasn’t shy when heaping some praise on rapper Nicki Minaj over the weekend. Trump at a rally with the hip-hop star in Michigan on Sunday said, “By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful a-- before: Nicki Minaj.” USA: Rapper Nicki Minaj said US President Donald Trump has “changed the energy of the country” as she joined him at a Michigan rally to stump for Republicans ahead of the nationwide midterm elections.
“He’s given us a future to look forward to,” she said, after Trump praised her figure and called her on stage to speak. Minaj has called herself Trump’s “number one fan” despite criticising some of his policies in his first term. In Michigan, Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is locked in a tight race with Republican Mike Rogers with just over a week to go before the midterms.
Former President Barack Obama held a rally – one of the first in this cycle – with the Democrat on Saturday.

In his remarks on Sunday, Trump focused on El-Sayed’s Muslim faith and background, alleging that he will “invite jihadists” into America if he wins.
El-Sayed has criticised similar remarks by Trump as Islamophobic, saying in an ad to voters last week that the US president “thinks he can use my name and my faith to distract us from the suffering his policies are inflicting on us at the pump, at the grocery store, and at the doctor’s office”. In Port Huron on Sunday, Minaj, wearing a gold-coloured Gucci-branded suit, led the crowd in chanting Trump’s name, and the names of Republican candidates in Michigan.
