US President Donald Trump reserved special praise for rapper Nicki Minaj during a lunch at the White House Rose Garden patio, describing her as “so hot.”
The 80-year-old president gave the 43-year-old “Anaconda” singer a shout-out during the White House event on Monday.
“We also have a woman that is so respected and so hot and so great and such a great friend of, I don’t say conservative, I say of common sense,” Trump said before going on a rant about Democratic Socialists and Communism.
Turning his focus back to Minaj, Trump added: “She’s a fantastic person, and she’s a woman that’s respected by everybody, and she’s got real talent, Nicki Minaj. Nicki, stand up, please. Such a great person and respected by everybody,” the president added, according to The Daily Beast.
Afterward, Nicki updated fans on her visit and used the hashtag “WhiteHouseBarbie” across her posts. She shared a video from the garden party while wearing Versace, writing, “#WhiteHouseBarbie #VersaceTingz.”
Nicki also later posed near a portrait of Trump in the White House and took a photo with him at his desk in the Oval Office.
