Rapper Nicki Minaj said Democrats have grown “too caught up” in pop culture, ahead of an interview with Lara Trump set to air Saturday night on Fox News, according to a TMZ report.

In a teaser clip released ahead of her sit-down with Ms. Trump, Minaj said the Democratic Party has let its relationships with entertainers make it act “petty and childish.” Ms. Minaj put it plainly: “the Democrats have gotten way too caught up in pop culture.” The full conversation airs Saturday at 9 p.m. ET on “My View with Lara Trump,” the Fox News program hosted by the president’s daughter-in-law.

The remarks continue Minaj’s increasingly public support for Mr. Trump and his administration over the past year. Last week, on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program, the host asked Ms. Minaj what she would tell critics of her support for President Trump. She replied, “Absolutely nothing,” TMZ reported.

Fox News is promoting the Lara Trump interview with a “vote red” message aimed at young voters. Ms. Minaj has previously said she is not a U.S. citizen and therefore could not vote, although she said in January that she was finalizing citizenship paperwork and has not publicly confirmed its completion, according to AllHipHop. In the preview clip, Ms. Minaj tells viewers, “your voice is very necessary right now.”
