The “Super Bass” rapper, 43, appeared onstage hand-in-hand with Erika Kirk, who was attending the conservative political event for the first time since the passing of her husband, Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA. The two closed out the four-day gathering with a public conversation.
Comments on Donald Trump Draw Attention
During the conversation, Erika Kirk, who was elected CEO of Turning Point USA asked Minaj what she had learned from President Donald Trump’s administration.
“I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president. I don’t know if he even knows this, but he’s given so many people hope,” Minaj said.
Her comments, admiring Trump and later Vice President JD Vance, rapidly went viral, resulting in both support and criticism across social media platforms.

Shortly following the event, fans noticed that Minaj’s Instagram account was no longer visible. The “Anaconda” rapper’s account went dark on Wednesday, just days after her presence with Erika Kirk at AmericaFest.While her Instagram remains offline, Minaj continues to upload on X (formerly Twitter). On Friday, she shared a Christmas note stating, “Angels bow before him. Heaven & Earth adore him. What a mighty God we serve.”
Viral Claims of Follower Loss Debunked
On Wednesday, December 24, 2025, Minaj again came to the spotlight of intense online discussion, because of viral claims indicating that she deleted her Instagram after losing 10 million followers.
However, verified social media tracking and fan-led analysis suggest that these claims are not correct. While Minaj seems to have lost some followers, the figures fluctuate constantly and do not support claims of a sudden, massive drop connected directly to the TPUSA appearance.
