Nicki Minaj’s “Gold Card” Post Sparks Citizenship Talk
Nicki Minaj has kicked up a storm online after flashing a Trump “Gold Card” following her appearance at the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, D.C.
The rap star told fans she is working on citizenship paperwork, turning a simple post into a major talking point.
The card is linked to an investment based immigration pathway known as a high cost route to U.S. residency.
It does not mean automatic citizenship, since more legal steps are still needed.
Minaj was already a U.S. permanent resident, and there is no official confirmation that she has become a citizen.
Still, her post has set off waves of reactions, drawing both support and criticism online.
Residency? Residency? The cope is coping. 😅
Finalizing that citizenship paperwork as we speak as per MY wonderful, gracious, charming President.
Thanks to the petition. 📋
I wouldn’t have done it without you.
