Nicki Minaj says a Bible signed by former President Donald Trump is “one of the most meaningful gifts I’ve ever received in my entire life,” according to posts she shared on social media that drew widespread attention.
The rapper posted a photo of a leather-bound “God Bless the U.S.A.” Bible bearing Trump’s signature. The King James edition is part of a line associated with Trump and country singer Lee Greenwood. Reports say signed copies can sell for around $1,000.
The statement appears to come directly from her social media post accompanying the photo. “One of the most meaningful gifts I’ve ever received in my entire life,” she wrote.
Neither Minaj nor Trump has publicly elaborated on the circumstances of the gift beyond the post. It is unclear when or where it was presented.
Reaction and context
The image quickly sparked debate online. Some users questioned whether signing a Bible was appropriate, while others defended the gesture as personal or symbolic.
Minaj has increasingly aligned herself with Trump in recent months. She has attended events connected to his administration and described herself as a supporter.
At a Washington event earlier this year, she said she was “probably the president’s number one fan,” emphasizing that criticism only strengthened her support.
Her evolving political stance marks a shift from earlier years, when she criticized some Trump administration policies.
The rapper has also spoken about religious issues publicly. In comments about violence against Christians, she said, “No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion.”
Faith and public image
The Bible shared by Minaj includes not only scripture but also American founding documents, according to descriptions of the edition.
Trump has promoted the Bible in public messaging, saying in promotional materials that it has “brought hope, healing, and transformation” to many lives.
Minaj’s post adds to ongoing discussion about the intersection of celebrity, faith and politics. Her supporters praised the message as a reflection of personal beliefs, while critics viewed it through a political lens.
As of now, no further statements from either Minaj or Trump clarify whether the gift carries broader significance. The conversation continues largely through social media reactions and commentary.
