Nicki Minaj Linked to White House Press Secretary Role Amid Speculation
American rapper Nicki Minaj has sparked speculation about a possible role as White House press secretary after senior officials in US President Donald Trump’s administration shared social media posts highlighting her support for the president.
The discussion gained momentum on Sunday, October 25, after White House Communications Director Steven Cheung posted a video of Minaj praising Trump. The White House’s official account later reacted to the post with an eyes emoji, further fuelling online conversations about the possibility.
