Ammon News - Trinidadian-American 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 path 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 immigation policies, Minaj - who has said she came to the US with her parents as a child - has praised his leadership in recent years.

It comes at a time of protests after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were involved in the fatal shootings of US citizens.

"I will say that I am probably the president's number one fan, and that's not going to change," said Minaj, who was seen holding hands with Trump on the podium.

"And the hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more."

She also displayed her new card, emblazoned with Trump's face, in a thread on X with the caption: "Welp."

"Finalising that citizenship paperwork as we speak as per my wonderful, gracious, charming president", she later added, noting that the card had come "free of charge".
