Rapper Nicki Minaj<\/a> urged young Americans to get involved in the upcoming midterm elections and “vote red” while doubling down on her support for President Donald Trump in an interview on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Grammy-nominated hip-hop star said on “My View with Lara Trump” that young voters<\/a> shouldn’t assume their voices don’t matter as Americans prepare to head to the polls Nov. 3.<\/p>\n

“Now is not the time to think that your voice will not be heard,” Minaj said. “Your voice will not only be heard, but your voice is very necessary right now for the country and for the world. We need you guys involved. We need you guys involved more than ever before. This is your country, this is your world. You are the ones that have to reap the benefits of whatever vote decisions we make now.”<\/p>\n

Minaj encouraged young voters to become engaged in their communities and participate in elections beyond presidential contests.<\/p>\n

“Think about how much you want a say in what happens and realize that the only way to have that is by voting \u2014 not just voting for the president, but just voting in all of the local elections,” she said.<\/p>\n

The music superstar then urged young voters to support Republican candidates<\/a> in November.<\/p>\n

“Please, and vote red now,” Minaj said.<\/p>\n

Minaj’s midterm message comes as she has become increasingly outspoken about her support for Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The “Super Bass” and “Starships” singer also recently partnered with the Trump administration on the Small Business Administration’s Million Dollar Pitch Competition<\/a>, serving as one of the celebrity judges.<\/p>\n

Trump has praised Minaj, calling her a “fantastic person.”<\/p>\n

During her interview with Lara Trump, Minaj described the president as “a very authentic person” and said his willingness to speak without appearing scripted appeals to her.<\/p>\n

“He brings this candid, unedited vibe to the White House that we’ve never before seen,” Minaj said. “And it’s refreshing because for a very long time, people started feeling like we don’t know who we can trust.”<\/p>\n

“When you see someone that goes off script, it’s like you come alive again, you feel alive,” she continued.<\/p>\n

“I’ve made it my mission to be someone that supports him,” Minaj said.<\/p>\n

“I think the Democrats have gotten way too caught up in pop culture, for lack of a better term,” Minaj said. “I think that they’ve allowed their relationships with artists to cause them to act like children and to be so petty and childish.”<\/p>\n

Minaj also reflected on arriving in the U.S. and building her music career from very little.<\/p>\n

“My fan base, they got to see me come from absolutely nothing. They really saw the struggle in real time,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Overall, yes, it has been the American dream,” Minaj added. “That’s why I love this country.”<\/p>\n
