Nicki Minaj Declares Herself Trump’s “Number One Fan” at Accounts Summit
Nicki Minaj is stepping further into politics with her support for one of President Donald Trump’s newest initiatives. The rapper spoke at the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, January 28, expressing strong backing for the government’s plan to create investment accounts for babies born in the United States.
According to CNBC, Minaj has pledged to contribute between $150,000 and $300,000 to the program. Speaking to the crowd after being introduced on stage by Trump alongside businessman Kevin O’Leary, Minaj said, “I am probably the president’s No. 1 fan, and that’s not going to change. 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 going to motivate all of us to support him more.”
She added, “We’re not going to let them get away with bullying him. He has a lot of force behind him, and God is protecting him. Amen?” Minaj had already teased her involvement with the Trump Accounts in a post on X on January 24, calling it “the true meaning of paying it forward.”
She highlighted the educational benefits of early financial support, writing, “Early financial literacy & financial support for our children will give them a major head start in life. In some cases, they will end up teaching their very own parents how to invest & what to invest in. This makes me very happy.”

The Trump Accounts were introduced as part of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” The White House confirmed the accounts will be available to U.S.-born citizens between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, each starting with a $1,000 government contribution. Individuals can contribute up to $5,000 per year, and the funds are invested in a broad stock-market index. Account holders can access the money at age 18, following standard IRA rules, and estimates suggest fully funded accounts could grow to $1.9 million by age 28.
Other major donors include Michael and Susan Dell, who pledged over $6 billion in December 2025. Trump called their donation, “truly one of the most generous acts in the history of our country,” and confirmed that he and several companies would contribute as well.

Minaj is not new to political appearances connected to the Trump administration. In November, she spoke at the United Nations as a guest of the administration to discuss religious violence. In December, she also appeared at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, where she praised Trump, saying, “I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president. I don’t know if he even knows this, but he’s given so many people hope.”
Her appearance at the Treasury Department summit underscores her continued commitment to the MAGA movement, particularly initiatives aimed at financial literacy and early support for American children.
Nicki Minaj’s outspoken support for Trump and the baby investment accounts is going to draw a lot of attention, both positive and negative. Whether fans agree with her politics or not, she is making it clear she stands firmly behind the program.
