Nicki Minaj thanks US service members in heartfelt Veterans Day message

Nicki Minaj marked Veterans Day with a short message that drew big engagement on social media, thanking America's service members in a post that continues a recent patriotic trend for the rapper.

"Dear Veterans, Thank you. Happy Veterans Day," the rapper wrote with a heart emoji. The brief and heartfelt line was quickly shared by fans and military supporters who applauded her gesture.

Minaj’s salute comes as she’s been increasingly vocal about faith, patriotism and free expression online. Earlier this month, she praised President Donald Trump after he posted about the persecution of Christians overseas on Truth Social, saying his message gave her "a deep sense of gratitude" and that Americans are fortunate to "freely worship God."

She also reacted to a recent White House TikTok that used one of her songs, "Beez in the Trap," joking with fans that the first couple had officially joined her "Gag City" universe.
