Nicki Minaj is continuing to champion the Donald Trump administration, this time by appearing at an upcoming summit celebrating the launch of “Trump Accounts” in the United States.
On Saturday (Jan. 24), Minaj confirmed the news by reposting the official announcement for the event — which will take place Wednesday at the Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. — on X. Featuring Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as the main speakers, the summit will usher in the government’s new personal retirement savings program established under the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”

In a follow-up post, the hitmaker shared her excitement to appear alongside a lineup of featured guests that also includes Shark Tank star (and Marty Supreme actor) Kevin O’Leary, Curb Your Enthusiasm star Cheryl Hines (who’s married to health and human services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.), Texas Senator Ted Cruz and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
“The true meaning of paying it forward,” Minaj wrote. “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.”
The 12-time Grammy nominee added, “This makes me very happy.”
Minaj has doubled and tripled down on her support of Trump’s policies throughout his first year back in office, despite facing backlash for her alignment with MAGA ideals. After she appeared onstage with Erika Kirk for a Turning Point USA event, a petition calling for the musician — who was born in Trinidad and said as recently as 2024 that she is not an American citizen — to be deported amassed tens of thousands of signatures.
Earlier in January, she again sparked outrage by insulting independent journalist Don Lemon, who was on the ground in Minneapolis to report on a protest against ICE that disrupted a church service. “DON ‘C—K SUCKIN’ LEMON IS DISGUSTING,” she wrote at the time, despite Lemon having nothing to do with organizing the protest. “LOCK HIM UP!!!!!”
In November, Minaj spoke at a United Nations event and praised Trump for his attention to the alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
