President Donald Trump has described Nicki Minaj as “so hot.”

The Rose Garden luncheon was held at the White House in Washington, DC, on July 6th to celebrate the launch of Trump Accounts, which provides kids with tax-advantaged investments.

At the event, Trump specifically mentioned Minaj, praising her as a person after aligning with her over the past year.

“We also have a woman that is so respected and so hot and so great and such a great friend of, I don’t say conservative, I say of common sense,” he said. “She’s a fantastic person and she’s a woman that’s respected by everybody and she’s got real talent: Nicki Minaj.”

He added, “They call it small business, Nicki, but when you add it up, it’s bigger than any back in the world, probably, right?”

Minaj has previously complimented Trump on his looks, describing him as “handsome” and “dashing.” Earlier this year, she explained why she started supporting Trump.

“When I saw how he was being treated, over and over and over, I just couldn’t handle it,” she said. “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. And I was watching it in real time happen to someone else, and I didn’t think he deserved it.”

She continued, “During the last [presidential] campaign … I saw something, and I texted someone I knew right away, and I said, ‘This is a mistake.’ And I also said, ‘All of this is making me want to get into politics.’”

On another occasion, Trump gave Minaj her flowers as the “Queen of rap.”
