Nicki Minaj is to appear at an upcoming summit celebrating the launch of Trump Accounts in the US.
The singer confirmed the news by reposting the official announcement for the event, which will take place on Wednesday in Washington, DC, on X.
Featuring Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as the main speakers, the summit will introduce the government's new personal retirement savings programme, which was established under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
In a follow-up post, the hitmaker shared her excitement to appear alongside a lineup of featured guests that also includes Marty Supreme actor Kevin O'Leary, Curb Your Enthusiasm star Cheryl Hines and Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
"The true meaning of paying it forward," Minaj wrote. "Early financial literacy and 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 and what to invest in."
The 12-time Grammy nominee added, "This makes me very happy."
Minaj has doubled down on her support of Trump's policies throughout his first year back in office, despite facing backlash for her alignment. After she appeared onstage with Erika Kirk at a Turning Point USA event, a petition calling for the musician to be deported amassed tens of thousands of signatures.
Minaj was born in Trinidad and Tobago, and entered the US as an illegal immigrant at the age of five. She admitted in 2024 in a TikTok Live that she is not an American citizen.
"I've been in the States for many years. You would think that with the millions of dollars that I've paid in taxes to this country that I would have been given an honorary citizenship many, many, many thousands of years ago."
