“Number One Fan”: Nicki Minaj Flaunts Trump “Gold Card” and Funds “MAGA Baby” Accounts
The alliance between Nicki Minaj and Donald Trump reached new heights on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, as the “Super Bass” rapper declared herself the President’s “number one fan” during a high-profile summit in Washington D.C.
Minaj, who moved to the U.S. from Trinidad and Tobago at age five, used the stage to show off her new Trump “Gold Card”—a fast-track residency visa for wealthy immigrants—while confirming she is finally finalizing her U.S. citizenship paperwork.

The “Gold Card” Controversy
The Trump Gold Card, launched in late 2025, allows wealthy individuals to secure U.S. residency for a $1 million fee plus processing costs. While critics argue the scheme favors the elite during an immigration crackdown, Minaj—who has paid millions in taxes over her career—noted her card came “free of charge” as a gesture from the President.
“The hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more,” Minaj told the crowd while holding hands with the President.
Investing in the “Barbz” of Tomorrow
Beyond her personal residency, Minaj is putting her $190 million net worth to work for her fanbase. She pledged between $150,000 and $300,000 to fund the new “Trump Accounts” program.
-
The Program: Every child born between 2025 and 2028 is eligible for a $1,000 tax-advantaged investment account.
-
Baby “Barbz” Accounts: Minaj’s contribution will specifically help kickstart accounts for children in urban communities to bridge the financial literacy gap.
-
The Goal: Funds are tax-deferred and inaccessible until the child turns 18, intended to build a “foundation for future prosperity.”

From Critic to Ally
Minaj’s evolution from a critic of Trump’s 2018 family-separation policies to a staunch ally has stunned the industry. She cited the President’s “gracious and charming” leadership and shared common ground on the protection of Christians in Nigeria—a cause she recently championed at the UN.
As Trump joked about growing out his nails to match the rapper’s trademark style, the summit solidified a “MAGA” partnership that few could have predicted just years ago.
