Notably, Minaj's gold card will provide her unlimited right of residence in the US, however she will still not be a US citizen under the agreement.

Following her post on X, in which she flaunted her Golden Card Visa, the rapper faced online backlash for supporting Trump, including criticism from her own fans.

Trump's gold card scheme was launched in December and is designed to fast-track US citizenship for wealthy immigrants, including high-profile figures such as Minaj, while paying $1 million (£723,650) and a $15,000 (£10,854) processing fee in return for US residency.

After its launch, the scheme received a huge backlash as many people criticized the scheme because it was launched during the time when the President himself was trying to stop illegal immigrants in the nation, while the Trinidad and Tobago born super star welcomed the scheme happily while supporting the government fully in their new initiative.
