Nicki Minaj has gone full MAGA.
On Sunday, the Super Bass rapper made an appearance at Turning Point USA in Phoenix, Arizona — a not-so-shocking appearance, at that, given her more recent misadventures. But if there was any twinge of mystery on where she fell politically, the 43-year-old sealed her stance as a Donald Trump supporter once and for all.
Nicki joined Erika Kirk onstage at the AmericaFest convention in memorializing Charlie Kirk, where she praised Trump, JD Vance. and their entire administration:
“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. Both of them have a very uncanny ability to be someone that you relate to.”

However, the room fell flat when she went on to specifically praise the president and vice president, but accidentally referred to the latter as an “assassin.”
“For young men, don’t be New-scum. 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. And when I say that…”
You could see the wheels turning in her head in the following moments as she paused, covered her mouth with her hand, and likely realized what she had just said. However, Erika took the baton and bailed out the Chun-Li rapper:
“Trust me, there’s nothing new under the sun that I have not heard. So you’re fine… You have to laugh about it, truly. I have been called every single thing, and you know what? God is so good.”
She went on to praise Nicki for being an “amazing woman” with a “soul and a heart for the Lord.”
“If the internet wants to clip it, who cares? I love this woman.”

Uhhh, what?
This is only going to fuel those rumors and conspiracy theories!
Elsewhere in her appearance, the zero-time Grammy winning artist took aim at California governor and 2028 presidential prospect for the Democratic party, Gavin Newsom. Dubbing him “New-scum,” she read off several of her past posts on X (Twitter) criticising his fight for trans rights:
“Imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids. Haha. Not even a trans ADULT would run on that. Normal adults wake up & think they want to see HEALTHY, SAFE, HAPPY kids. Not Gav. The Gav Nots. GavOUT. Send in the next guy, I’m bored.”
She added in an off-the-cusp sentiment:
“Dear New-scum, we don’t have a problem cleaning up the scum if we have to. Please tread lightly.”
