Nicki Minaj is continuing to travel aboard the Trump Train … she’s been tapped to be a judge on Trump’s ‘Apprentice’-style small business competition in DC next month, according to Fox News Digital.
The outlet reports that the New York rapper and full-on MAGA supporter is headed to Washington for the Million-Dollar Pitch Competition on September 18. Actor Dean Cain will be the host of the contest.
The competition — touted as a cross between “Shark Tank” and “The Apprentice” — reportedly pits 5 companies against each other as they vie for a $1 million grand prize, but no one goes home as a loser.
Fox says the winner will snag $400,000, followed by $250,000 for second place, $150,000 for third, $125,000 for fourth, and $75,000 for fifth.
Joe Gebbia, Trump’s U.S. Chief Design Officer, and Grant Cardone, an equity fund manager, will also have key roles in the competition.
As you know, Nicki has been a huge MAGA supporter since 2025 and calls herself Trump’s “number one fan.” Cain, Gebbia, and Cardone have always been big Trump supporters.
