raising concerns about the treatment of Christians in Nigeria <\/a>during a collaboration with US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz.<\/p>\n\u201cNigeria is a place I\u2019ve always loved. Someone very dear to me, my pastor, is Nigerian,\u201d Minaj recounted to Kirk. \u201cI have lots of Nigerian barbs and so hearing that \u2026 while they\u2019re in church, people are being kidnapped, people are being killed, brutalized, all because of their religion \u2014 that should spark outrage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, the rap icon tore into Newsom for his stance on transgender children.<\/p>\n

Minaj doubled down on her broadsides against the California governor during her appearance at AmericaFest, reading some of her social media jabs at Newsom when asked to by Kirk.<\/p>\n
\u201cImagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids,\u201d she said. \u201cNot even a trans adult would run on that. Normal adults want to see happy, safe kids.\u201d<\/p>\n
At one point, Kirk asked Minaj to give advice to young men, and the rapper quickly said, \u201cDon\u2019t be Newscum.\u201d<\/p>\n

During her riff about her advice to young men, Minaj had a gaffe where she called Vice President JD Vance an \u201cassassin.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have amazing role models like the assassin JD Vance, our vice president,\u201d she said before catching herself and recoiling.<\/p>\n
Erika reassured her that she was unbothered by the awkward descriptor, and Vance later took to the stage and praised her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve had this little nagging voice in the back of my head wondering whether she [Minaj] thinks I look like the JD Vance meme,\u201d Vance later said during his speech.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it turns out, and I confirmed when she walked down the steps, Nicki Minaj actually knows what I really look like, and that is the best tribute that I could possibly imagine.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rapper Nicki Minaj made a surprise appearance with Erika Kirk at AmericaFest Sunday, where she took questions from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":362753,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,49204,88,94227,13028,111,91302,194],"class_list":{"0":"post-362752","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-charlie-kirk","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-erika-kirk","12":"tag-nicki-minaj","13":"tag-politics","14":"tag-turning-point-usa","15":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=362752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/362753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=362752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=362752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=362752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
