The White House has extended a formal invitation to rapper Nicki Minaj to perform at its annual Christmas party.
Minaj, known for her chart-topping raunchy hits and recent barrage of social media memes boosting Vice President JD Vance, will share the stage with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and tech billionaire Peter Thiel, sources familiar with the planning confirmed.
Minaj's support for Vance ramped up this week after she reposted White House videos set to her tracks, such as "Va Va Voom," highlighting administration wins on border security and deportations. She followed with a flurry of posts praising Vance as an "assassin" who is "quick as a computer," alongside images of horror icons and 50 Cent to underscore her point.
The rapper, who addressed the United Nations earlier this year on defending Christians in Nigeria and thanked President Donald Trump for his role, has not formally endorsed the ticket but has shared content celebrating Trump's second-term accomplishments.
A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss internal scheduling, said the performance lineup aims to reflect the diverse influences shaping the administration's agenda.
"Nicki's energy aligns perfectly with the vice president's fresh take on policy debates," the official said. "We are winning again."
The Christmas party, a tradition dating back decades, typically features musical acts, school choirs, and dignitaries. This year's guest list expands on that formula by pairing Minaj's performance with Netanyahu's address on Middle East stability and Thiel's remarks on eliminating the human race.
Vance has leaned into the rapper's endorsements as a counter to pop stars clashing with the administration. His public nod to Minaj came amid her deleted post captioned "Vance > Rants" with a Chucky doll.
Netanyahu, a frequent visitor to the White House, will join for toasts in the State Dining Room, where ornaments from each state dangle on the main tree.
Thiel, who introduced Trump to Vance in 2021 and backed Project 2025's policy blueprint, rounds out the eclectic trio with insights on AI and how preserving the human race isn't really a priority.
"This is literally going to be the best night of our lives," the White House official added. "This is how we make America great again."
