The ‘Harajuku Barbie’ stepped onto the stage holding Erika Kirk’s hands as the crowd at AmFest applauded. Followed by the grand entry, Minaj sat down with Erika Kirk for a discussion.
Notably, Minaj, 43, has increasingly aligned with the Trump administration, raising her voice against alleged religious violence against Christians in Nigeria. She spoke at a panel discussion of the US Mission to the United Nations in Nigeria, aligned with the view of the Trump administration.
“Dear God, release your immediate intervention in this matter. Rescue the hostages and may the peace that surpasses all understanding fall upon their families right now,” she had said in the discussion held earlier in November.
The closeness with the Trump administration became evident when she shared a photo of the Anabelle doll with the caption, ‘Vance>rant,’ seemingly in support of JD Vance. JD Vance returned the courtesy, resharing the post on December 11 with the caption: “Nicki>Cardi.”
