On January 28, 2026, at the Treasury Department’s “Trump Accounts” summit in Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump unexpectedly brought rapper Nicki Minaj onstage. Minaj declared herself the president’s “number one fan,” praised his newborn investment-accounts initiative and said backlash only strengthened her support. She pledged to fund Trump Accounts for some of her fans’ children—reports citing amounts between $150,000 and $300,000—and appeared with entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary and administration officials. Supporters hailed the moment as proof the Democratic Party had collapsed, while critics and industry figures condemned Minaj’s alignment with Trump. Coverage spread rapidly across national outlets and social media. (foxnews.com)
