Nicki Minaj finally met her political idol, Donald Trump, this week — and seemingly left the Washington D.C. event with a gift.
The unlikely pair got together at the Trump Accounts Summit on January 28. At the summit, Nicki declared herself the President’s “biggest fan,” and called on his supporters to protect him. She addressed the backlash against her MAGA turn, saying the hatred motivated her to support Trump even more.
Nicki Minaj flaunted her Trump Gold Card on social media
After the meet-up, Nicki shared a photo on X of her holding a Trump Gold Card. “Welp …” the rapper wrote, proudly displaying a shiny golden image of the President’s face, accompanied by his signature.
According to the official Trump Gold Card website, the card will “unlock life in America” for those who own the card. For a $15,000 DHS processing fee and, after background approval, a contribution of $1 million,” the website promises, immigrants can “receive U.S. residency in record time with the Trump Gold Card.”
In a follow-up post, Nicki confirmed she had signed on to become a legal citizen. “Finalizing that citizenship paperwork as we speak as per MY wonderful, gracious, charming President,” she wrote on X. “Thanks to the petition. ? I wouldn’t have done it without you. Oh CitizenNIKA you are thee moment. Gold Trump Card free of charge.”
Nicki is likely referring to the petition calling on her to be deported from the United States. The Change petition highlighted that, in the past, the rapper had revealed she is an undocumented immigrant. Nicki stated in 2018 that her parents brought her to the U.S. from Trinidad and Tobago when she was 5 years old, in a post criticizing Trump’s immigration policy of separating families at the border.
Many critics of Nicki’s recent conservative shift, including journalist Don Lemon, have speculated that the musician’s recent appeals to Trump’s politics were a tactic to gain U.S. citizenship.
