During her remarks Nicki Minaj did not play it safe. Grabbing the microphone she told the crowd, “I am probably the president’s number one fan and that’s not going to change.” She doubled down by addressing the backlash head on saying the criticism “does not affect me at all” and actually motivates her to support him even more. The room reacted instantly as clips of the moment spread across platforms within minutes.
