At Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, rapper Nicki Minaj joined new CEO Erika Kirk for a Q&A, praising President Trump and JD Vance as hopeful leaders while criticizing California Gov.
Gavin Newsom as ‘Newscum.’ She stressed standing up for Christians worldwide, drawing from her UN work on Nigeria, and affirmed that boys should embrace being boys.
In December 2021, Turning Point USA also launched AmericaFest, a four-day conference that featured conservative speakers such as Donald Trump Jr., and Sarah Palin interspersed with country music acts.
Minaj called the event more meaningful than concerts and plans a song honoring Kirk’s late husband Charlie, sparking divided online reactions from cheers to backlash.
