Nicki Minaj is continuing her support of the MAGA movement with the recent confirmation that she will appear at the president’s summit this week promoting his “Trump accounts.”

The rapper is scheduled to be one of several speakers at the event organized by the Treasury Department and scheduled for Wednesday.

“The summit marks a key milestone in the administration’s broader effort to strengthen long-term financial security, expand access to capital, and promote economic opportunity for American families,” according to a release from the Treasury Department.

Also featuring appearances by “Shark Tank” personality Kevin O’Leary and actress Cheryl Hines — wife of Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. — the forum aims to raise awareness about the Trump administration’s new pilot initiative to provide investment accounts for children. For babies born between 2025 and 2028, the accounts would be seeded by the Treasury Department with a one-time deposit of $1,000.

President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are also set to speak.

Minaj expressed happiness while promoting the event on X.

 

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

Just last week, the “Super Bass” rapper faced backlash for hurling homophobic slur at journalist Don Lemon over his coverage of an anti-ICE church protest in Minnesota.

Minaj’s embrace of the conservative movement came to light for many in December when she appeared at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest alongside Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika.

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