Nicki Minaj says she’s probably Trump’s ‘No. 1 fan’

Nicki Minaj pledged $150,000 to $300,000 to support Trump Accounts, a program depositing $1,000 for each child born from 2025 to 2028, promoting early financial literacy.

  • Nicki Minaj told attendees at the Trump Accounts Summit that she was the president's top fan after President Donald Trump invited her onstage at Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium on January 28, 2026.
  • The summit promoted the program created under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, providing $150,000 for children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, with Minaj saying she wanted to pay it forward.
  • Minaj pledged between $150,000 and $300,000 to the program, while President Donald Trump invited her onstage, held her hand, and praised her as the greatest female rapper in history.
  • Amid backlash, Nicki Minaj said criticism has only strengthened her support for the president, despite a petition calling for deportation after a Turning Point USA appearance.
  • In recent years Minaj has grown more outspoken politically, attending the United Nations and Turning Point USA, and she received a Trump Gold Card valued at a $1,000,000 contribution plus a $15,000 processing fee.
