Trinidad and Tobago-born rapper Nicki Minaj declared herself to be Donald Trump’s “number one fan” on Wednesday, while also showing off her Trump “gold card” visa, which offers applicants residency and a pathway to US citizenship.
The US President called the star up on stage in Washington DC after she announced her support for the so-called “Trump Accounts”, which provide trust funds for children.
Previously a critic of Trump’s hardline immigration policies, Minaj, who moved to the United States with her parents as a child, has praised his leadership in recent years.
The comments come at a time of protests following incidents in which Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were involved in the fatal shootings of US citizens.
Minaj says the hate she receives from people does not affect her, but actually motivates her to support Trump more.
