She said she admired Trump because he gave people hope. Then, the \u201cSuper Bass\u201d rapper aimed jabs at California Governor Gavin Newsom, called Trump \u201chandsome\u201d and a role model, and even praised Vice President JD Vance.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote><p>&#8220;I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president.

However, the rapper remains completely unbothered by the negative response her political shift has had. he same day as the convention, she reposted a video where Erika asked how she handles backlash from her own industry. Nicki simply replied she \u201cdidn\u2019t notice\u201d and captioned her post, \u201cDidn\u2019t have a clue.
