Rapper Nicki Minaj made headlines this week by openly declaring strong allegiance to President Donald Trump during a high-profile appearance in Washington, D.C. The event, held at the U.S. Treasury Department’s summit on January 28, 2026, centered on launching “Trump Accounts”—a new government-backed initiative providing initial $1,000 investments for children born in certain years to promote early financial security.
Minaj took the stage alongside Trump, where the two were photographed holding hands in a moment that quickly spread across social media. She described herself as likely the president’s top admirer, emphasizing that negative comments or opposition only strengthened her commitment rather than deterring it. The rapper highlighted Trump’s unique approach as a leader and businessman focused on lasting benefits for everyday Americans, setting him apart from conventional politicians.
Trump reciprocated the praise, calling Minaj one of the most successful female rappers in history and thanking her for her involvement. The lighthearted interaction included jokes about her distinctive style, such as her elaborate nails. This appearance builds on Minaj’s evolving public stance, as she has previously shared admiration for Trump at other gatherings and noted shared roots in Queens, New York.
The summit drew attention not just for the celebrity endorsement but also for broader support from business figures promoting the savings program as a step toward greater economic opportunity for future generations.
