Joe Rogan Stunned By Trump’s Nicki Minaj Comments

Joe Rogan was stunned when comedian Colum Tyrrell told him about Donald Trump’s comments on Nicki Minaj’s body during their podcast episode released October 29.

According to Mediaite, the exchange on “The Joe Rogan Experience” began during a discussion of Trump’s attachment to “YMCA.” Rogan had not heard about the incident.

“He said that?!” Rogan asked. After viewing the clip, he said, “That is so crazy.”

The host also questioned Minaj’s support for Trump. “If you’re a fan of his, he’ll take you in,” he said.

Trump’s comments came at his October 25 campaign appearance in Port Huron, Michigan. Minaj was in the crowd when the president interrupted his account of comments about Sen. Jon Husted to compliment her backside. Trump later expressed hope that the rapper had not been offended, then returned to the speech he had paused.

50 Cent had already weighed in on October 26. He shared footage of Trump’s speech and told followers he was confused by what he was seeing. His post paired that response with a suggestion to laugh.

Rogan had his own history with the president. The Associated Press reported his endorsement of Trump on November 4, 2024, after an interview with Elon Musk. He announced his choice on X. Trump had appeared on Rogan’s podcast the previous month for a three-hour conversation.

Minaj, meanwhile, had explained her support in an interview aboard Air Force One on the way to Michigan. Speaking with White House communications director Steven Cheung, she pointed to Trump’s business experience as a reason she trusted him with the economy. She also praised his stamina and approach to dealing with other countries.

That backing had extended to public appearances before the flight. In September, Minaj joined Small Business Administration chief Kelly Loeffler for an interview with Laura Ingraham. They discussed the Million Dollar Pitch Competition, where Minaj helped judge businesses alongside Grant Cardone and Joe Gebbia. The contest offered a $1 million prize.

During that Fox News appearance, Minaj made her feelings about Trump clear: “I just love him. I’m not going to ever make excuses for that because I don’t know why I should.”
