Rapper Nicki Minaj joined President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Michigan on Sunday and said she would support him if he chose to run again, according to The Hill. Mira Bhakta reported that Minaj addressed the president directly, saying, "I will continue to support you forever and ever."
Fox News reported that Minaj told Trump she would support him forever at the rally, which it described as a Republican campaign event backing Mike Rogers and John James in the midterm elections. The Fox News summary did not describe the candidates' roles in the race.
The Guardian, which published a video report on the event, said the rally took place on 25 October 2026, during what it described as the final stretch before the 2026 midterm elections. According to The Guardian, Minaj doubled down on her support for the president and said she would back him again if he could run.
The Guardian also reported that Trump has recently seemed to concede that he is constitutionally prohibited from serving a third term. The Guardian's summary did not say whether Trump responded to Minaj's remarks, and the reports reviewed for this story do not include a statement from the White House or from Trump's campaign.
The three outlets differ somewhat in emphasis. The Hill and Fox News framed the exchange mainly around Minaj's pledge of support, with The Hill centering its account on a conditional statement about a future run. The Guardian placed the remarks within the midterm campaign and within Trump's recent comments about the constitutional limit on a third term. Each outlet's account rests on its published summary, and the full text of the articles was not available for this report.
