Nicki Minaj Joins ‘Beez in the Trap’ Trend With Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (Sort Of)

Nicki Minaj Joins Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for “Beez in the Trap” Trend at Trump Summit

During a high-profile summit for President Donald Trump’s “Trump Accounts” initiative, Nicki Minaj and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent collaborated on a viral social media moment. The duo participated in the “Beez in the Trap” trend, though the rap icon handled the heavy lifting while the cabinet member opted for a more stoic presence.

The footage, released on Tuesday via the official Trump Accounts X profile, depicts the pair standing back-to-back as a popular audio mashup—blending Minaj’s 2012 hit with 4 Non Blondes’ “What’s Up”—plays in the background. Following the trend’s typical format, Minaj delivered her bars with high energy and sharp precision, while Bessent remained relatively stationary, offering only a subtle nod to the rhythm.

The event, held at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium, served as a platform for the rapper to officially endorse the administration’s new savings initiative. During the proceedings, President Trump lauded the hip-hop star for her significant financial commitment to the program, noting she had contributed “hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Following her appearance on stage, Minaj took to social media to showcase her “Trump Gold” card—an exclusive asset that reportedly includes expedited visa processing benefits.

Minaj’s involvement in the political sphere has intensified significantly over the past several months. Her recent itinerary includes a speech at a United Nations event regarding religious freedom and a featured appearance at a Turning Point USA conference. In a candid conversation with Katie Miller on a podcast released this week, Minaj shared the personal motivations behind her political pivot.

“To be completely honest, seeing how President Trump was treated—it reached a point where I just couldn’t stay silent,” Minaj explained. “I recognized the patterns of bullying and smear campaigns. I felt that I had endured similar treatment for years, and watching it happen to someone else in real-time made me feel he didn’t deserve it.”
