Once the two sat down for a conversation, Nicki heaped on the praise for President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

“Dear young men, you have amazing role models, like our handsome, dashing president. And you have amazing role models like the assassin, JD Vance, our vice president,” she said, suddenly realizing how awkward it was to mention an “assassin” in front of Erika, who just lost her husband in an assassination.
Asked by Erika Kirk what her advice to young men is, Nicki Minaj says, “don’t be like [Gavin] Newscum.”
Nicki then refers to President Trump as “our handsome, dashing president.”

She covered her mouth with her hand in shock as the crowd suddenly went quiet.
“Trust me, there’s nothing new under the sun that I have not heard,” Erika assured her.
“I love you,” Nicki responded.
“You have to laugh about it. Truly, I have been called every single thing. And you know what? God is so good,” Erika added.
“You let it roll right off your back and this is what’s so beautiful about this moment, because if the internet wants to clip it, who cares? I love Nicki. She’s an amazing woman. She has a soul and a heart for the Lord. And words are words, but I know her heart and it doesn’t even matter. And you say what you want to say, because I know your heart and I will not judge that, sister.”
