Nicki Minaj will be a judge in the live final round of the Trump administration’s small business reality competition, the Patriot Pitch Competition. Announced by Kelly Loeffler, the Small Business Administration administrator, this competition aims to support small businesses, featuring a celebrity panel that includes Minaj, Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia, and private equity expert Grant Cardone, with Dean Cain serving as host.
Minaj expressed her enthusiasm on social media, stating her excitement about being part of the initiative. The competition, which began in May as part of the SBA’s Freedom 250 celebrations, has a prize pool totaling $1 million. Five finalists—Compotech, Inc., Plas-Tech Tooling, Red River, VetPowered LLC, and Winton Machine—will compete for cash prizes ranging from $75,000 to $400,000.
The finale is scheduled for September 18 in Washington, DC, although broadcast details are not yet available.
