Charlie Kirk's Criticism of Nicki Minaj Resurfaces After Turning Point USA Appearance
"Nicki Minaj came out as a full-blown MAGA supporter during her surprise appearance at a Sunday event held by Turning Point USA, a nonprofit co-founded by the late conservative provocateur Charlie Kirk. In the wake of her appearance, a video of Kirk criticizing the rapper has resurfaced on social media. Recorded during an April 2024 campus debate, the clip shows Kirk labeling Minaj as a bad role model for young Black women."
"However, his full comment suggests Kirk may have confused Nicki with her fiercest rival, Cardi B, as he referenced the latter's smash hit "WAP" with Megan Thee Stallion. "Black culture is being held captive by influences, songs, and role models," he said. "Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, I don't think that's a good role model for 18-year-old Black girls. I don't think that songs that are talking about glorifying wet female genitalia - I don't know which one wrote that song.""
Nicki Minaj appeared as a MAGA supporter during a surprise Turning Point USA AmericaFest appearance and participated in a Q&A with Erika Kirk. A resurfaced April 2024 campus-debate clip shows Charlie Kirk labeling Minaj a bad role model for young Black women, though his remarks may have conflated her with Cardi B while referencing "WAP." Candace Owens shared purported 2018 texts in which Kirk praised Minaj's verse on Kanye West's "Monster." Kirk also tweeted support for Minaj after a 2021 Twitter suspension claim. Kirk's stance toward Minaj at the time of his September 2025 assassination remains unclear, and Minaj received a warm reception at the event.
