From White House Stage to Crypto Power Circle
Her participation comes just weeks after she appeared alongside Donald Trump at a government-linked event in Washington, D.C., where she openly praised the president and described herself as one of his strongest supporters.
Minaj’s invitation to the World Liberty Forum signals a deeper connection between Trump’s political influence and his family’s growing crypto ecosystem.

The forum, hosted by $WLFI, will take place on February 18 at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
It is an invitation-only gathering expected to bring together approximately 300 to 400 executives, investors, policymakers, and technologists.
The event’s speaker roster includes some of the most powerful figures in global finance and crypto. Confirmed attendees include Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson, and FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who co-founded World Liberty Financial, will also speak.

Political Support Comes as Trump Expands Crypto Agenda
Minaj’s latest appearance follows her participation in Trump’s January event tied to a government savings initiative, where she publicly endorsed him and dismissed criticism from media and political opponents.
Her remarks marked one of the clearest endorsements Trump has received from a major global pop star. Trump has increasingly relied on high-profile cultural figures to amplify his message, particularly as his administration pushes policies aimed at supporting crypto markets and stablecoin infrastructure.
Recently, the broader pool of Hollywood celebrities has been vocal in opposition to the Trump administration and its policies. It’s evident that the US president is likely trying to bring his celebrity supporters closer to his inner circle across the entire spectrum, including crypto.

Nicki Minaj’s Limited but Notable Crypto History
While Minaj has not launched her own cryptocurrency or $NFT collection, she has previously engaged with the crypto ecosystem.
In 2021, she promoted the Happy Hippos $NFT project on social media during the peak of the $NFT boom, joining a wave of artists experimenting with blockchain-based digital ownership.
However, unlike celebrities such as Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton, or Logan Paul, Minaj has not launched a personal token, $NFT platform, or crypto startup.
Her involvement has remained largely promotional and cultural rather than operational or technical.
Her appearance at the World Liberty Forum represents her most direct connection yet to institutional crypto infrastructure and policy discussions.
