White House Official Refutes Nicki Minaj's Claim She Was Gifted Trump's $1 Million 'Gold Card' Following Citizenship Drama
The Trump Gold Card, linked to a $1 million donation, is a symbolic keepsake with no legal immigration benefits, White House officials said.
- On January 28, 2026, Nicki Minaj displayed a `Trump Gold Card` after a White House official said it was `just a memento`.
- The Gold Card programme, which debuted last month, is promoted as a paid fast-track to residency for a $1,000,000 donation plus a $15,000 processing fee.
- Minaj said on social media that she was finalizing citizenship paperwork and received the `Gold Trump card free of charge`, while a Homeland Security Department official said she has been a legal permanent resident for roughly two decades.
- Immigrant advocates denounced the Gold Card programme as favoring wealthy applicants, while legal and immigration experts warned it does not replace standard residency or citizenship processes.
- Beyond Minaj, the programme's premium `Platinum Card` indicates celebrity influence and equity concerns, costing $5,000,000 and avoiding U.S. taxes on non-U.S. income for 270 days.
