Renowned singer Nicki Minaj made a public appearance at the Andrew Mellon Hall in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, January 28th to show her support for the “Trump Accounts Summit” organized by the Department of the Treasury. She shared the stage with President Trump and Treasury Secretary Bessent, openly expressing her strong support for the policies and the President himself.
Nicki, who is dubbed the “Queen of Rap”, is known for her bold and spicy style and is affectionately referred to as the “Spicy Chicken” by her fans in mainland China. Her presence at the “Trump Accounts Summit” on Wednesday sparked widespread attention.
Facing criticism for her shift in political stance, Nicki remained transparent. While she previously had reservations about Trump’s immigration and other policies, even making light-hearted remarks in her work, her stance has notably changed in recent years.
During the summit, she boldly stated, “I am probably the President’s number one fan, and that will not change. The criticisms or negative comments will not affect me, but rather motivate me to support him even more.”
“We will not let those people bully him; he has a powerful force behind him,” she further stated. “God is protecting him.”
The program, imaginatively dubbed the “Baby Account” initiative with the official title of “Section 530A Accounts”, stipulates that children born between 2025 and 2028 can receive a $1,000 seed fund provided by the federal government when their parents fill out IRS Form 4547.
President Trump described this seed fund as a “lifetime economic independence gift” to American families, aimed at making every child a “capitalist” from birth and growing alongside the U.S. economy.
According to CNBC and other media outlets, Nicki plans to donate between $150,000 to $300,000 to support her fan community “Barbz” in establishing “Trump Accounts.” She wrote on X platform, “This is the true essence of ‘giving back to society’. Early financial literacy and economic support will give children a significant head start.”
The policy has garnered collective endorsements from Wall Street and tech giants. Multiple companies including Bank of America and BlackRock have pledged to provide an additional $1,000 matching grant for employees’ children on top of the federal government’s $1,000, effectively doubling the initial account funding.
Tech giant Michael Dell and his wife have officially donated $6.25 billion to provide $250 startup funds for about 25 million low-income area children who do not qualify for the federal seed fund due to age restrictions.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed at the event that at the beginning of tax season, the first batch of 600,000 families have already taken the lead in completing their applications, demonstrating strong public willingness to participate in the program.
