Amber Rose came out in support of rapper Nicki Minaj’s affiliation with the conservative movement.
Amber said Nicki has the right to choose her political affiliation.
Speaking with TMZ about Nicki’s appearance with Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk at AmericaFest on Sunday, Amber said Nicki did a great job.
“I think she did a great job, an amazing job,” Amber said. “We live in a free country. She has a right to her own political opinion just like everyone else does.”
Amber, who spoke at the Republican National Convention in 2024, said Nicki didn’t disparage the LGBTQ+ community when she said boys should be boys.
“She didn’t say anything wrong. She didn’t say anything about the LGBTQ+ community at all. Why do people think anyone over there is homophobic? I’m not homophobic, my assistant has been with me for 11 years; he’s Black and gay. I have a bunch of trans friends — so does Nicki.”
Amber added: “I don’t know why people twist our words or think because we endorse Trump that we just hate gay people and trans people. That’s just not true.”
During Nicki’s appearance at the convention, she praised President Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
“I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president,” Nicki said. “I don’t know if he even knows this, but he’s given so many people hope that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys and to win, and to do it with your head held high and your integrity intact.”
The rapper praised JD Vance and Trump for not losing “touch of the world” and their ability “to still connect and be real and make us feel proud to be American.”
