Phoenix: The queen did it! Nicki Minaj made a surprise appearance at AmericaFest. Netizens were once again in awe when the Queen of Rap, Nicki Minaj, made a surprise appearance at the heated political event AmericaFest by Turning Point USA in Arizona last Sunday (December 21, 2025). And she wasn’t just there for show; she arrived with Erika Kirk (the widow of Charlie Kirk) and delivered a speech that set social media ablaze!

According to Thai News Agency, Nicki Minaj went all out with an unfiltered performance. She took the stage for a candid talk, praising former President Donald Trump as handsome and dashing, and even calling Vice President JD Vance an “Assassin.” While there was a slight moment where the word touched upon Erika’s grief over her husband’s passing, the two managed to get through it gracefully.

But that’s not all! She also took a jab at California Governor Gavin Newsom, calling him “Newscum,” just like Trump used to do. It was a clear and unambiguous declaration of her stance.

But the most surprising thing is that after the event, eagle-eyed netizens noticed that Nicki’s Instagram account had vanished. This sparked a huge wave of criticism, with many wondering if she had deactivated it to avoid backlash. However, insiders (and Barbz fans) quickly clarified that she actually deactivated her Instagram back in October, not just recently because of this drama.
