Rapper Nicki Minaj has publicly declared her support for United States President Donald Trump, calling herself his “No. 1 fan” and pledging financial backing for a new federal investment initiative for children.
Speaking on Wednesday at a U.S. Treasury event in Washington, D.C., Minaj defended Trump against what she described as smear campaigns and vowed not to let critics “bully” him.
“I am probably the president’s No. 1 fan, and that’s not going to change,” she said. “The hate or what people have to say does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more.”
The event marked the rollout of the government-backed “Trump accounts” program, which will provide $1,000 in investment funds for every eligible child born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028.
The initiative aims to give children early financial support through federally secured investment accounts.
Minaj, who had previously distanced herself from Trump in 2020, also announced she would contribute between $150,000 and $300,000 to support the scheme. She emphasized that Trump’s supporters would continue to stand by him despite public criticism.
Her remarks signal a closer alignment with the Trump administration and highlight her involvement in promoting policies focused on youth financial inclusion.
