What Happened
During a Treasury Department–hosted summit in Washington focused on launching “Trump Accounts” for newborns, Nicki Minaj openly declared her allegiance to Donald Trump.
“I will say that I am probably the president’s number one fan,” Minaj told the crowd.
She added that the backlash she receives does not discourage her support.
According to Minaj, it motivates her to stand behind him even more.

A Shift From Nicki Minaj’s Past Stance
Minaj acknowledged that her position has evolved over time.
In 2020, she publicly stated that she would not “jump on the Donald Trump bandwagon.”
In recent years, however, she has become increasingly vocal in her support.
Last month, the rapper made a surprise appearance at Turning Point USA’s annual conference, where she praised Trump for giving people hope and standing firm despite opposition.
She also highlighted their shared roots in Queens, New York, as part of her personal connection to him.
