Washington, D.C. (Los Angeles Times) — January 30, 2026: Rapper Nicki Minaj (Onika Maraj-Petty) has shared that her U.S. citizenship paperwork is being finalised after receiving what she described as a Trump “Gold Card” at a high-profile event in the U.S. capital. The gold card—which carries the branding of former President Donald Trump—was shown in a social media post that went viral earlier this week.
Key Developments:
- Nicki Minaj displays a Trump “Gold Card” and says she is finalising U.S. citizenship paperwork.
- She publicly praises former President Donald Trump and pledges support for his “Trump Accounts” initiative.
- The Trump Gold Card program is linked to fast-track residency/citizenship with investment criteria.

Minaj, who was born in Trinidad and Tobago and came to the United States as a child, spoke at the Trump Accounts Summit—a public launch of a federal program designed to provide tax-advantaged savings accounts for children born during the current administration. After the event, she posted a photo of herself holding the gold card on her social media account X, writing that her citizenship paperwork was being finalised “as we speak” thanks to “my wonderful, gracious, charming President.”
During the summit, Minaj openly praised Trump, calling herself his “No. 1 fan” and affirming that her support would not wane despite criticism from some quarters. She also pledged substantial financial backing for the new Trump Accounts initiative, a program that aims to seed savings and investment accounts for eligible American children.

The Trump Gold Card referenced by Minaj is associated with an immigration pathway promoted by the former president, which—according to public descriptions—offers a fast-track route to U.S. residency and eventually citizenship in exchange for a significant financial contribution and processing fees. Critics note that such programs blend immigration policy with high-profile political engagement, while supporters view them as attracting investment and talent.
Minaj’s declaration marks a notable shift from her earlier public stance on Trump’s administration. In 2018 she had criticised hard-line immigration policies; her recent support, however, has drawn widespread attention and mixed reactions across entertainment and political spheres.
