Rapper Nicki Minaj had an awkward moment during a Q&A at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest yesterday (December 21).
The Harajuku Barbie made a surprise appearance at a conservative gathering in Arizona, honoring late activist Charlie Kirk, where she praised President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance as role models for young men.
Sitting down with Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, to discuss her support for Trump and her stance against violence targeting Christians in Nigeria.
While giving advice to young men, Minaj referred to Vice President J.D. Vance as an “assassin,” realizing mid-sentence that the comment could be insensitive, as Kirk’s husband, Charlie Kirk, had been shot in September.
Minaj paused and appeared emotional, but Erika Kirk reassured her, emphasizing understanding and forgiveness, saying she knew Minaj’s intentions were not harmful.
When questioned about criticisms from the entertainment industry regarding her comments, she said, “no longer using their minds” and that society no longer allows different opinions or thinking out loud.
Her appearance during the event has drawn criticism on social media.
