Rapper and Donald Trump supporter Nicki Minaj launched a fiery attack on New York state's Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul, after a light-hearted suggestion she could be the next White House press secretary.

In an X post on Wednesday, Minaj said: “Kathy Hochul is an evil woman. The Democratic Party should forfeit her seat because even if she wins, she will be of great consequence to them.

“Downward spiral for her. She will not escape God’s wrath. She did not denounce evil when she had the chance.”

In a separate post Minaj urged “BLACK PEOPLE” and “CHRISTIANS” specifically to vote for Hochul’s Republican opponent Bruce Blakeman.

Asked about Minaj’s comments by a journalist Hochul said the singer needed to “get outside” adding: “And stop going to Trump rallies, it’s kinda poisoning your mind.”

On October 25, Minaj travelled with President Trump to a campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan.

Steven Cheung, the White House Director of Communications, shared a video of Minaj on the flight jokingly adding: “Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary! @NICKIMINAJ”

The official White House X account responded to this with the “eyeballs” emoji.
