'You have amazing role models like the assassin, JD Vance,' the rapper said before going silent, realizing what word she used in front of Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika.
Rapper Nicki Minaj made an unexpected appearance at Turning Point USA’S AmericaFest convention, where she was interviewed by Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk.
The Super Bass rapper and Kirk, 37, walked out hand in hand before sitting down for a conversation in Phoenix to close the first-ever AmericaFest convention on Sunday.
The four-day conference brought together media personalities, conservative activists and leaders from the Republican party.
During her time at the event, Minaj, 43, praised U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, calling them “role models” for young men.
“This administration is full of people with heart and soul, and they make me proud of them. Our vice-president, he makes me … well, I love both of them,” Minaj said. “Both of them have a very uncanny ability to be someone that you relate to.”
“Dear young men, you have amazing role models, like our handsome, dashing president. And you have amazing role models like the assassin, JD Vance, our vice-president,” Minaj said to the crowd.
She quickly realized what word she used to praise Vance’s political skills — “assassin” — and went silent as she covered her mouth with her hand while the crowd murmured.
“If the internet wants to clip it, who cares? I love this woman,” said Erika Kirk, who became a widow when Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September. “Trust me, there’s nothing new under the sun that I have not heard.”
