This EXTREMELY Awkward Moment Between Erika Kirk And Nicki Minaj Is Going Viral
by Michaela Bramwell · BuzzFeedNicki Minaj is back in the news for supporting the MAGA movement.
This weekend, she was the surprise guest at the Turning Point USA "AmericaFest" conference.
She walked out hand in hand with Erika Kirk to her hit song, "Super Bass," and massive fireworks.
The pair sat down for a discussion about Minaj's love for Donald Trump, the recent backlash she has received, and her latest tweets slamming Gavin Newsom.
At a certain point, things got really uncomfortable. In a now-viral clip, while discussing positive role models for kids, Minaj said, "You have amazing role models like the assassin, JD Vance, our vice president."
"And when I say that..." She froze, covering her mouth, seemingly realizing the word she had used.
The live audience got quiet, and then started laughing, as Kirk responded: "Trust me, there's nothing new under the sun that I have not heard so you're fine," she said, chuckling awkwardly. "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."
