The artist, wearing a striking white coat, announced that she will contribute between $150,000 and $300,000 to help fund the initiative.

Who is Nicki Minaj, really?

She began her career in 2004 with several mixtapes, but it was her debut album Pink Friday in 2010 that launched her to international fame.

With five studio albums, Minaj is widely regarded as a central figure in the resurgence of female rap.

For many industry experts, her influence places her among the most impactful rappers in music history.

Evolution of her political stance

Over the past year, Minaj has become increasingly vocal about her support for the Trump administration.

In November, she spoke at the United Nations about religious violence in Nigeria, representing the U.S. administration.

She also attended AmericaFest hosted by Turning Point USA and gave an interview to Erika, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, in which she praised the president.

Although she stated in 2020 that she “wouldn’t jump on the Trump train,” her position has shifted dramatically in recent months.

Her immigration past returns to the spotlight

Minaj revealed in 2018 that she arrived in the United States as an “undocumented immigrant” at the age of five—a detail that resurfaced following her appearance at the event.

On social media, the artist now claimed she is “finalizing my citizenship paperwork,” thanking “my wonderful, gracious, charming president.”

She even displayed a so-called “Trump gold card,” a symbolic credential that sparked fresh public reactions.

Her post appeared to respond to calls demanding her deportation, as the rapper reaffirmed her political support without reservation—once again underscoring how Nicki Minaj supporting Trump has become a defining talking point.
