Nicki Minaj, who has embraced the MAGA movement, will be attending this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, also known as the “nerd prom” in Washington, D.C., this Saturday.
The rapper will be a guest of Fox News, Page Six hears. 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, 43, has recently become more public about her politics than ever before.
She appeared on stage with Kirk at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in December and proclaimed her support for Trump.
“I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president,” Minaj said at the event.
In January, she attended Trump Accounts Launch Summit in Washington D.C. where she clasped hands with the president.

There are plenty of parties surrounding the main event, including ones hosted by MS Now and NBC.
