Overview
- Minaj’s official Instagram page now returns “Sorry, this page isn’t available,” while her X account remains active.
- Her Dec. 21 appearance in Phoenix with TPUSA CEO Erika Kirk included praise for President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance and a brief stumble calling Vance an “assassin.”
- Erika Kirk told Minaj not to worry about the slip, and Vance later highlighted a point Minaj made about uplifting one group without denigrating another.
- Follower data cited by multiple outlets shows a decline from roughly 227.5 million in November to about 223.8 million in December, not the widely shared 10 million figure.
- Reaction has been swift: Joe Budden said he’s done supporting Minaj, Amber Rose publicly defended her, and Lizzo suggested more celebrities may shift right for access and financial reasons.
