The awards show host channeled Donald Trump when he imagined a conversation between the "Super Freaky Girl" rapper and the president during his monologue on Sunday night.
Nicki Minaj has been responding to Grammys host Trevor Noah for skewering her support for President Donald Trump and her absence from the music awards show on Sunday night.
“As they do their ritual tonight, God almighty will reveal himself to them. The ritual will backfire on them. God will not be mocked. Blessed is the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. Every tongue that rises up against me in judgement shall be condemned & put to shame,” the “Super Freaky Girl” rapper said on her X account on Monday morning.
This follows a slew of posts from Minaj on her Twitter feed after Noah made his opening monologue jokes, including a homophobic insult at the host.
Minaj’s praise for the president has drawn criticism following her appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in December. During his opening monologue from the Crypto.com Arena stage Sunday night, as Noah introduced music legends in the audience, the Grammys host suddenly interjected with a mocking tone “Nicki Minaj is not here, not here. She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues.”
Noah then imagined a conversation between Minaj and the president as he did a Trump impression: “Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest ass. I have it. Everybody is saying it, Nicki. I know they say it to you, but it’s me. Look at it baby: WAP, WAP, WAP.”
During her appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, Minaj told Erika Kirk, the organization’s CEO and Charlie Kirk’s widow, that she has “the utmost respect and admiration for our president. I don’t know if he even knows this, but he’s given so many people hope.”
Noah’s sixth and final hosting gig for the Grammys had him taking aim at president Trump as part of a 68th annual awards show that had the country’s political tensions as a recurring theme as winners accepted trophies on stage or talked to the media afterwards.
