Nicki Minaj Explains Why She Respects Trump

Recently, Nicki Minaj made a surprise appearance at AmericaFest 2025, where she sat down for an exclusive interview with Turning Point USA and the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika Kirk. During the chat, she praised Donald Trump for staying strong and persevering.

“I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president.” Nicki continued, “I don’t know if he even knows this but he’s given so many people hope that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys, and to win and to do it with your head held high and your integrity intact.”

Nicki Throws Shade At Vice President JD Vance

Nicki didn’t stop there, she also took a moment to mention Vice President JD Vance. Even though she didn’t say much, she still threw a lil’ shade his way and called him an assassin. “And you have amazing role models like the assassin JD Vance, our Vice President.” She then had the crowd reacting when she tried to finish her statement but paused, looking visibly disgusted. As of right now there’s no reason why Nicki made her comments about Vance but her energy towards him was definitely amongst the crowd.
