Nicki Minaj is once again at the center of political controversy — and the internet is buzzing.
The rapper is officially listed as a special guest at the upcoming Trump Accounts Summit, set to take place Wednesday, January 28, at the historic Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. The event will be livestreamed on X and will feature President Donald Trump (@POTUS) and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (@SecScottBessent)as headliners.
The summit will highlight the Trump Accounts initiative, a new federal program that proposes giving $1,000 to every American child born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028.
Alongside Nicki, the guest list includes:
- Cheryl Hines
- Kevin O’Leary
- Karoline Leavitt

According to online speculation and industry chatter, Nicki may be receiving a large appearance fee for the event. Some social media users are claiming the amount could reach seven figures, though no official payment details have been confirmed.
Neither Nicki nor her team has publicly commented on any compensation tied to the appearance.
Still, the optics alone have many fans upset.

Others defended her, arguing that appearing at a policy summit does not automatically mean full political alignment.
A Bigger Pattern?
Nicki’s appearance is now being viewed as part of a growing trend where hip-hop stars are showing up at politically charged events. Some see it as strategic branding. Others believe it reflects a deeper shift in celebrity politics.
For now, what’s confirmed is this:
Nicki Minaj will be on that stage next week — and the world will be watching.
Whether this is about business, beliefs, or both, one thing is certain: the conversation around Nicki and politics is far from over.
