Rapper Nicki Minaj has become the subject of online discussion after a video featuring her, and a senior White House official sparked rumours that she could become the next White House press secretary. The speculation grew further after she appeared along with US President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Michigan ahead of November 3 midterm elections.

Nicki Minaj To Become White House Press Secretary?

The rumours began after Steven Cheung, the White House director of communications and assistant to the president, shared a video of himself with Minaj aboard an aircraft on X. Sharing the video, he suggested in the caption that Minaj could be the next White House press secretary, a post which currently remains vacant after Katie Zacharia resigned from the role on October 17.

Cheung wrote on X, “Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary! @NICKIMINAJ” His post quickly gained attention online as he did not clarify whether he was joking or seriously telling, leaving netizens to speculate. One user wrote, “Nicki Minaj at the podium would make every press briefing feel like a world tour.” Another user added, “Perfect choice - and let FLOTUS and her dialog together. That way the American people can disseminate their clearly spoken world views.”
