"The Grammy-nominated rapper, who declared herself to be President Trump's No. 1 fan on Wednesday, later took to social media to show off her Trump Gold Card, a new program that offers a fast-track for wealthy immigrants to gain legal U.S. residency and eventually a pathway to citizenship. For most individuals, the Gold Card costs $1 million, plus a $15,000 screening fee. But Minaj, a native of Trinidad and Tobago, said her card came free of charge."
"Minaj, whose legal name is Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, came to the U.S. with her parents as a child and was raised in Queens, New York. During a TikTok streaming session in 2024, the 43-year-old revealed that she still was not a citizen of America. Isn't that crazy? she asked before explaining her origin. I was born on a beautiful island called Trinidad and Tobago, but I've been in the States for many years. You would think that with the millions of dollars that I've paid in taxes to this country that I would have been given an honorary citizenship many, many, many thousands of years ago."
