Nicki Minaj is the proud owner of a Bible autographed by President Donald Trump.
The “Big Foot” rapper, 43, showed off the autographed holy book via X on Saturday, February 21, calling it “one of the most meaningful gifts [she had] ever received in [her] entire life.” The cover of this “God Bless The USA” version of the Holy Bible is marketed as the “Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, Signature Edition.”
Trump, 79, officially endorsed the “God Bless the USA” edition of the Bible — a compilation created by country singer Lee Greenwood — in March 2024 and sold copies for $59.99. It comes with the Pledge of Allegiance, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence interspersed with traditional Bible verses.
“I want to have a lot of people have [this bible],” Trump said in a promotional video for the “God Bless the USA” edition. “You have to have it for your heart and for your soul.”
In that same video, Trump said the “God Bless the USA” Bible was his “favorite book” and urged his supporters to read it.
“Many of you have never read [the Bill of Rights] and don’t know the liberties and rights you have as Americans, and how you are being threatened to lose those rights … It’s happening all the time. It’s a very sad thing that’s going on in our country but we’re going to get it turned around,” he claimed in 2024. “Religion and Christianity are the biggest things missing from this country, and I truly believe that we need to bring them back and we have to bring them back fast.”
Minaj has become one of Trump’s most prominent public supporters, having even described herself as the president’s “number one fan” while joining him at a Treasury Department summit in Washington D.C. in January 2026.
Minaj’s association with Trump has proved to be controversial among some of her fans and within the music community. Comedian Mike Epps apologized to Minaj earlier this month for joking that she was “having a train run on her by Donald Trump and them” during a live show in Kentucky.
“I just want to apologize to you, Nicki Minaj, for saying the stuff that I said,” he later said via his Instagram Story. “I want to apologize to your husband, your kids, all that for saying what I said.”
The comedian went on, “I’m a comedian. Sometimes I get on that stage, and I have a little drink, and I go wild. I’m non-filtered.”
Last year, the rapper aligned herself with Turning Point USA, a conservative activist group founded by the late Charlie Kirk. (Kirk was fatally shot during a campus event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on September 10, 2025.

Minaj appeared on stage with Charlie’s widow, Erika Kirk (née Frantzve), at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona, in December 2025. During that event, Minaj committed an embarrassing faux pas by telling young men they had “amazing role models like the assassin, JD Vance, our vice president.”
The musician stopped mid-sentence and then covered her face, seemingly in embarrassment. Erika attempted to lighten the mood by assuring Minaj that she took no offense to the “assassin” joke.
“Trust me, there’s nothing new under the sun that I have not heard,” Kirk replied with a laugh. “So, you’re fine. I love you [and] you have to laugh about it — truly. I have been called every single thing, and you know what? God is so good, you let it roll right off your back.”
Vance, 41, later attempted to reframe the event and defend Minaj via X.
“Nicki Minaj said something at Amfest that was really profound,” Vance tweeted. “I’m paraphrasing, but she said, ‘Just because I want little Black girls to think they’re beautiful doesn’t mean I need to put down little girls with blonde hair and blue eyes.’”
The vice president continued, “We all got wrapped up over the last few years in zero sum thinking. This was because the people who think they rule the world pit us against one another. @NICKIMINAJ rejects that. We all should.”
