Nicki Minaj Promises Fans Cash For Watch-Party Fashion Contest

Nicki Minaj promised cash for fans’ fashion posts tied to her “Million Dollar Pitch Competition” watch party. The Barbz had their own prize contest as the show hit streaming.

The rapper named her first four winners on X on Tuesday night. She said more people had made the cut and asked fans to help choose the rest through polls.

“These are my first 4,” she wrote as she shared the first batch of entries. Her plan was to let the Barbz help decide who else would get a prize.

Her next posts split the field by style. One round focused on evening gowns, with three entries she labeled “Champagne glass,” “Pink carpet” and “Money chest.” She said that group would have just one winner.

She also put four more fans in a “PRETTY IN PANTS” group and told her followers she would post a poll for that round, too. Each post carried the #MillionDollarPitch and #MillionDollarFit tags.

The fan contest came as Minaj’s work as a judge reached viewers on Prime Video and YouTube. The Small Business Administration’s special paired her with Grant Cardone and Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia. Dean Cain served as host, and President Donald Trump also appeared. Minaj had discussed her judging role on Fox News in September.

The SBA contest’s $1 million prize pool came from Clover Network. Five small-business finalists competed for shares of the money, with $400,000 set aside for first place. Minaj’s posts about the Barbz promised “a few dollars” but did not name a cash amount for her fan prizes.

The contest was taped in Washington on September 18 before its October 20 streaming debut. Minaj kept the premiere going on X with both the fashion posts and a fresh show of support for Trump.

“Not going anywhere. Right where I need to be,” she wrote in response to a fan’s post about Trump calling her his favorite.

Her stance followed her September appearance on “The Ingraham Angle” with SBA chief Kelly Loeffler to discuss the show. During that chat, Minaj said she would not make excuses for her support of the president.

For the fans picked in her first round, she closed with a promise and a joke: “You’ll be sent a few dollars. Don’t spend it all in one place.”
