Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk stated that rapper Nicki Minaj is not a good role model, according to an X post by @MrPopOfficial shared within the past 59 minutes from 11:46 PM UTC on December 21 to 12:46 AM UTC on December 22, 2025. Minaj responded on X with 'They’re nervous. They should be. 🎀,' per her account @NICKIMINAJ. Kirk's comment follows Minaj's appearance at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest in Phoenix on December 21, where she referred to Vice President JD Vance as an 'assassin' during a live discussion, as reported in video clips shared on X during prior reporting windows. The exchange highlights tensions after Minaj's speech at the event, which Kirk's organization hosted, according to posts from @CalltoActivism, @Acyn, and @atrupar shared earlier on December 21.
