California Gov. Gavin Newsom has delivered a savage response after Nicki Minaj’s name was floated as Donald Trump’s next White House press secretary, escalating his bitter feud with the rapper.With the November midterm elections approaching, President Donald Trump has been recruiting celebrity heavyweights to energize supporters on the campaign trail, including one of his most outspoken musical allies, Nicki Minaj.The 43-year-old rapper joined Trump at a Michigan rally on Oct. 25, where the president praised her appearance in a way that quickly attracted attention.Trump described Minaj as having “one hell of a beautiful a**,” prompting Newsom’s press office to fire back on X.An unlikely match. Then again, it all Depends,” the post said.The jab was hardly surprising given the history between Minaj and the Democratic governor, who have traded insults as the Trinidadian rapper has grown increasingly vocal about her support for Trump.“Oh Gavvy pooh, it only gets worse from here for you, buddy,” Minaj captioned a post on X in December 2025, alongside an image of Chucky, the knife-wielding horror doll. “It’s the end of the road for you, my love.”And while her feud with Newsom has grown increasingly hostile, Minaj’s relationship with Trump has only strengthened, even joining him aboard Air Force One on the way to his Michigan campaign appearance.
