At the Trump Accounts Summit on Wednesday, January 28, in Washington, D.C., Nicki Minaj held hands with President Donald Trump onstage, reinforcing her loyal stance toward him.
“I don’t know what to say, but I will say that I am probably the president’s No. 1 fan. That’s not going to change,” Minaj said at the podium, with Trump standing behind her.
“And the hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more, and it’s gonna motivate all of us to support him more. We’re not going to let them get away with bullying him and, you know, the smear campaigns. It’s not going to work, OK? He has a lot of force behind him, and God is protecting him. Amen,” she added.
This isn’t the first time the “Beez in the Trap” rapper has publicly expressed admiration for Trump. Last month, Minaj made a surprise appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona, where she praised both Trump and Vice President JD Vance – marking what many viewed as a shift in her political stance.
During an onstage interview with Erika Kirk, the widow of late activist and TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, Minaj, whose real name is Onika Maraj-Petty, said her respect for Trump grew after watching what she described as relentless media scrutiny and widespread misinformation. She emphasized that Trump is “a human being with a family” and applauded his willingness to confront “the bad guys” without fear.
“I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president,” Minaj said during AmericaFest. “He’s given so many people hope – that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys, and to win, and to do it with your head held high and your integrity intact.”
The Accounts Summit promoted Trump Accounts, also known as Section 530A accounts, a proposed IRA-style savings program designed to help children build wealth early, according to PBS. Under the plan, money would be invested in the stock market on behalf of a child and remain inaccessible until age 18, with withdrawals limited to specific uses such as tuition, starting a business, or making a down payment on a home.
The proposal includes a $1,000 U.S. Treasury contribution for newborns once an account is opened, according to PBS, with private banks and brokerages managing the funds. Investments would be required to go into U.S. equity index funds, with annual fees capped at 0.10%. Parents could contribute up to $2,500 per year in pretax income, while employers, relatives, friends, local governments, and philanthropic groups could also contribute. Total yearly contributions would be capped at $5,000, though contributions from governments and charities would not count toward that limit.
Minaj also plans to donate between $150,000 and $300,000 to help fund Trump Accounts.
