Nicki Minaj’s JD Vance ‘Assassin’ Remark Goes Viral

Nicki Minaj’s One Word Turns Into a Viral Moment

Rapper Nicki Minaj recently attended a conservative event in Arizona, where she spoke openly about politics and leadership. She was seen sharing the stage with Erika Kirk, the widow of political activist Charlie Kirk.

During her speech, Nicki praised former US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, calling them inspiring figures for young people. She said the current leadership connects well with everyday Americans and feels relatable.

However, the moment quickly turned awkward when Nicki accidentally used the word “assassin” while talking about JD Vance. She was clearly trying to praise him but paused right after saying it, as if she realized the word came out wrong. The clip soon spread across social media, with many users calling it an honest slip rather than an intentional comment.

The same event saw another verbal mistake that caught attention. Erika Kirk, while presenting the Charlie Kirk Courage Award to a university student, mixed up her words mid-sentence. The short clip went viral, with some people joking about it online, while others defended her, saying it was simply exhaustion after a long event.

Adding more fuel to the discussion, an old video of Charlie Kirk talking about Nicki Minaj also resurfaced online. In that clip, Kirk had earlier criticized her music and questioned whether she was a good role model for young audiences. With Nicki now appearing at a similar conservative gathering, the contrast has sparked fresh debate among supporters.

What was meant to be a regular political event has now turned into a trending topic, all because of a few unexpected words spoken on stage.
