Trump Officials Announce ‘Shark Tank’-Style Show — And 2 Stars Are No Surprise

Rapper Minaj will serve as a panelist on “Million Dollar Pitch” and actor Cain will be the host.

Minaj recently was designated as “hot” by President Donald Trump at a White House Rose Garden luncheon.

“We also have a woman that is so respected and so hot and so great and such a great friend of — I don’t say conservative, I say of common sense,” Trump said. “She’s a fantastic person, and she’s a woman that’s respected by everybody, and she’s got real talent: Nicki Minaj.”

The five finalists, chosen from ideas already submitted, will compete in a live pitch event in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 18. The winner will receive $400,000, with each of the finalists receiving a share in the $1 million total prize.

“As our nation marks its 250th anniversary, the SBA is celebrating America’s legacy of free enterprise through the Million Dollar Pitch Competition—a historic live event showcasing the essential contributions of America’s small businesses,” SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler told Fox News Digital.

Minaj will be joined on the panel by Trump-appointed Chief Design Officer Joe Gebbia, who’s the co-founder of Airbnb, and Grant Cardone, an equity fund manager.
