US rapper Nicki Minaj speaks on stage during Turning Point's annual AmericaFest conference in Phoenix, Arizona on December 21, 2025. This year's conference commemorates the late right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot on a Utah college campus in September, sparking an outpouring of grief among conservatives and prompting President Donald Trump to threaten a crackdown on the "radical left."

Overview

  • Minaj’s official Instagram account currently returns a “Sorry, this page isn’t available” message, indicating deactivation.
  • Her surprise AmericaFest interview with TPUSA leader Erika Kirk included praise for President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
  • Minaj briefly referred to Vance as an “assassin” before correcting herself, a slip noted given Charlie Kirk’s fatal shooting earlier this year, and Erika Kirk reassured her onstage.
  • Follower-tracking reports place Minaj at about 227.5 million Instagram followers in November and about 223.8 million in December, contradicting viral claims of a 10 million drop.
  • A resurfaced 2024 clip shows Charlie Kirk criticizing Minaj as a role model, while recent reactions included public support from Amber Rose and a nod from Vance to a point Minaj made at the event.
