Nicki Minaj will be attending this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, DC, this weekend.
The rapper will be a guest of Fox News, Page Six reports. She’ll also attend the network’s VIP cocktail party at the Washington Hilton before the event, rubbing elbows with Turning Point USA’s Erika Kirk.
Minaj, who has publicly embraced the MAGA movement, has recently became more public about her politics than ever before. In January, she attended Trump Accounts Launch Summit in Washington, DC, where she clasped hands with the President.
Minaj has stated that her support was fuelled by seeing how Trump was treated in the public eye, describing it as a “calling” to combat the backlash and “smear campaigns” against him.
Donald Trump is set to return to this year’s dinner after a more than decade-long boycott.
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is an annual, high-profile, black-tie event hosted by the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA). Often dubbed “the nerd prom”, it brings together journalists, politicians, and celebrities to celebrate journalism, raise funds for scholarships, and hear comedy performances.
There are plenty of parties surrounding the main event, including those hosted by Vanity Fair’s new editor, Mark Guiducci, Fantastic Four star Michael Chiklis, YouTube, and LGBTQ dating app Grindr.
