Nicki Minaj shed light on her staunch support for President Donald Trump in a new interview, as the musician has applauded and worked with the president and other top Republican officials in recent months.
In an exclusive clip from "The Katie Miller Podcast" obtained by Fox News, the "Moment 4 Life" rapper, 43, revealed that Trump inspired her controversial leap into the political realm.
"When I saw how he was being treated over and over and over, I just couldn't handle it," Minaj told Katie Miller, the wife of Stephen Miller, a top White House aide.
"I felt that...a lot of that bullying, and the smear campaigns and all of the lying, I felt that that had been done to me for so many years," she told Katie Miller. "And I was watching it in real time happen to someone else, and I didn't think he deserved it."
Minaj, born Onika Tanya Maraj, also promoted the podcast appearance to her fanbase on social media. "You guys are going to love this interview, Barbz," she wrote.
