(CNN) — One of President Donald Trump’s latest go-to stories on the campaign trail took an unexpected turn Sunday when he complimented the physical appearance of rapper Nicki Minaj, who is attending the president’s rally in Michigan.

Trump has frequently joked about Ohio Sen. John Husted’s physique ahead of the election, but went a step further, invoking Minaj.

“I looked at [Husted’s] ass, and I’ve never done that with a man before. Off the record: Women yes, men no,” Trump said.

“By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj,” Trump said, asking the rapper to stand up. “That’s hard to miss.”

He added, “I hope Nicki wasn’t insulted, but we love Nicki. She’s been with us for a long time.”

Minaj joined Trump aboard Air Force One this weekend.
