"The More I Get Criticized, The More I Support"... Nicki Minaj Declares "I'm the President's Number One Fan" Next to Trump

Global hip-hop star Nicki Minaj made a direct appearance at an economic policy event hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump, declaring, "I am the President's number one fan," officially solidifying her political alignment.

According to foreign media such as USA Today and AP News on the 29th (Korean time), Nicki Minaj attended the 'Trump Accounts Summit' held in Washington D.C. on the 28th local time. This event was aimed at promoting the Trump administration's key child welfare policy, 'Trump Accounts' (providing $1,000 investment funds for children born after 2025).

◆ "Criticism? It Motivates Me More"

On stage, Minaj stated, "The hate or criticism from people does not affect me at all. Rather, it motivates me to support him even more," expressing her firm support for President Trump. She promised a donation of approximately $150,000 to $300,000 (about 200 million to 400 million KRW) to ensure that her fans' children can benefit from the 'Trump Accounts', receiving cheers from the audience.

◆ Trump Says "I Will Follow Nicki's Nail Style"

President Trump beamed at Minaj's appearance. He pointed to Minaj's glamorous nails and joked, "I also like those nails. I will grow my nails to match Nicki's," making the audience burst into laughter. The two showcased their special friendship by holding hands and whispering to each other throughout the event.

◆ Why is the Hip-Hop Queen Shifting Right?

This is not the first time Minaj has shown pro-Trump behavior. Last December, she attended a conservative group 'Turning Point USA' event (in memory of the late Charlie Kirk) and praised Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance as "true role models." Local media have evaluated that Minaj has established herself as a key cultural icon of the 'MAGA (Make America Great Again)' movement, going beyond simple support.
