Nicki Minaj made a surprise appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, arriving hand in hand with new CEO Erika Kirk (née Frantzve).
Minaj, 43, walked into Phoenix’s Convention Center on Sunday, December 21, alongside Kirk, 37, with the rapper’s “Super Bass” playing in the background, per social media footage. After arriving at the center of the stage, Kirk kissed Minaj’s cheek as they waved to the packed crowds.
Minaj subsequently made a heart with her hands, flashing the audience, before her sit-down with Kirk, where she praised president Donald Trump and vice president JD Vance as good role models for young men.
“You have amazing role models like the assassin, JD Vance, our vice president,” she said.
Minaj started to clarify her comment, but she quickly stopped talking and covered her mouth with her hand, clearly embarrassed. Kirk, meanwhile, reassured Minaj that she wasn’t bothered by the word.
“Trust me, there’s nothing new under the sun that I have not heard,” Kirk said with a laugh. “So, you’re fine. I love you [and] you have to laugh about it — truly. I have been called every single thing, and you know what? God is so good, you let it roll right off your back.”
Erika was named the CEO of Turning Point in September shortly after her husband, the organization’s former chairman Charlie Kirk, was assassinated at the age of 31. Charlie is survived by Erika and the pair’s two young children.
Nicki Minaj has no time for “Tina Snow” or for blow. Minaj, 41, spent much of the past weekend attacking Megan Thee Stallion on X after the Houston rapper made a “Megan’s Law” crack in her new song, “Hiss.” The frequency and ferocity of Minaj’s rants led many to speculate that she was fueling her […]
“My daughter continues to ask [where he is], but it’s really sweet because I keep explaining to her a few things,” Erika said on Fox News last month. “I said, ‘If ever you want to talk to Daddy, you just look up to the sky and start talking to him — he can hear you.’ I told her, ‘Daddy is in heaven.’ She goes, ‘You think I could go sometime?’ I said, ‘Baby, we will all go one day.’”
Earlier in the program on Sunday, Minaj claimed that Christians were being “silenced,” vowing that those apparent days are over.
“We won’t be silenced ever again, we will speak up for Christians wherever they are in this world,” Minaj said, sharing her support for the Trump administration. “I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president.”

According to Minaj, Trump, 79, has “given so many people hope that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys and to win.”
“He’s from Queens, New York, like me, but what it’s shown me, personally, is sometimes — even in the worst feeling times in your life, you think you’re never gonna come back from it,” she stated. “But, you do, and our president shows that. He’s been through every single thing a person can go through publicly and have constantly been lied on [sic]. It’s not really that funny until you’re in that person’s shoes.”
Minaj fully stressed that Trump’s administration is “full of people with heart and soul.”
“They make me proud of them,” she said, also addressing Vance, 41. “I love both of them. They’re both powerful men, smart, strong [and] all of that but they have an uncanny ability to be someone you can relate to. I relate to them. When I hear them speak, I know that they’re one of us.”
