Rap artist Nicki Minaj will contribute between $150,000 and $300,000 to fund her fans’ Trump accounts.
The Grammy-nominated star will attend a summit on Wednesday with President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to promote Trump accounts, also known as Section 530A accounts, which are a type of individual retirement account designed to encourage early wealth building. Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz confirmed Minaj’s grant to MS NOW.
It’s unclear who could be eligible to receive a share of Minaj’s contribution. The New York Post, which was first to report the news, indicates the grant could benefit Minaj’s fans, known as “Barbz.”
The White House and Minaj’s representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
In a Jan. 24 post on X referencing Wednesday’s event, Minaj wrote, “The true meaning of paying it forward. Early financial literacy & financial support for our children will give them a major head start in life.”
