Plies calls out Trump over 'stand up' remark to Nicki Minaj at Michigan rally

Florida rapper Plies blasted Trump on X after Trump told Nicki Minaj to stand up at his Port Huron, Michigan rally following a remark about her backside, per BBC. Plies' posts have pulled hundreds of thousands of views. Minaj hasn't responded to him.

Plies is not letting this one go. At President Trump's rally in Port Huron, Michigan on Sunday, Trump praised a male Republican candidate's backside, then said, "By the way, I looked at a beautiful ass before. Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss," and asked her to stand up as the crowd cheered, per BBC. Minaj, who flew in on Air Force One, then took the stage and told voters Trump has "changed the energy of our country." Florida rapper Plies went straight to X. "He Just Told Her To 'Get Up & Let's Us See Your Azz'," he wrote, comparing it to how enslaved people were made to stand and turn around. Hours later he doubled down: "A Married Man Told Someone Else's Wife. To Stand Up So Everyone Can See Her Azz!!! An A Room Full Of So Called Christians/Evangelicals Applauded It!!!!" That post has passed 258K views, and an earlier one saying he'll "NEVER forgive" Trump voters is near 476K. Plies has been backing Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Angie Nixon in Florida, posting a video with her Saturday captioned "VOTE VOTE VOTE." Nicki Minaj has not responded to Plies.
