Nicki Minaj Says She’s Trump’s ‘No. 1 Fan’ and Rips People for ‘Bullying Him’ as She Pledges Money to His Baby Investment Accounts

Nicki Minaj is throwing her support behind another high-profile MAGA-aligned effort.

The rapper spoke Wednesday, Jan. 28, at the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, D.C., where she praised President Donald Trump’s rollout of investment accounts designed for U.S.-born babies. According to CNBC, Minaj said she plans to contribute between $150,000 and $300,000 to the program.

“I am probably the president’s No. 1 fan, and that’s not going to change,” Minaj, 43, told the audience after Trump brought her and businessman Kevin O’Leary onstage. She added that criticism has only strengthened her support.

“The hate — or what people have to say — it does not affect me at all,” she said. “It actually motivates me to support him more. And it’s going to motivate all of us to support him more.”

Minaj also urged supporters to stand by Trump, saying, “We’re not going to let them get away with bullying him,” and adding, “He has a lot of force behind him, and God is protecting him. Amen?”

Ahead of the event, Minaj promoted her appearance and her pledge in an X post on Jan. 24, calling the accounts “the true meaning of paying it forward.”

“Early financial literacy & financial support for our children will give them a major head start in life,” she wrote. “In some cases, they will end up teaching their very own parents how to invest & what to invest in. This makes me very happy.”

Trump Accounts were introduced as part of Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” The plan is for the accounts to be available to every U.S. citizen born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028, according to the White House. The administration said each account “will launch with a one-time $1,000 government seed contribution.”

Annual contributions are capped at $5,000, with funds “invested in a broad stock-market index.” Beneficiaries won’t gain ownership of the money until age 18, when withdrawals would follow standard IRA rules. The White House also claimed that, if fully funded and left untouched, the accounts “could grow to as much as $1.9 million by age 28.”

The initiative has drawn support from major donors. The article notes that Dell Technologies founder Michael Dell and his wife, Susan Dell, pledged more than $6 billion to the Trump Accounts in December 2025. At the time, Trump called the pledge “truly one of the most generous acts in the history of our country.”

He also said he expected additional contributions from companies and friends, adding, “I’ll be doing it, too.”

Wednesday’s appearance in Washington is the latest example of Minaj’s public support for the MAGA movement in recent months. She previously spoke at the United Nations, as a guest of the Trump administration, about religious violence overseas in November.

Minaj also praised Trump and his administration while appearing onstage with Erika Kirk to close Turning Point USA’s annual AmericaFest event on Dec. 21.

“I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president,” she told Kirk. “I don’t know if he even knows this, but he’s given so many people hope.”
