Charlie Kirk Called Out Nicki Minaj at a College Campus Event
Kirk said Minaj was not 'a good role model.'
In the video, Charlie condemned Minaj, calling her out as a poor person for 18-year-old girls to look up to.
"Black culture is being held captive by influences, songs, and role models," he shared at the time. "Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, I don’t think that’s a good role model for 18-year-old Black girls. I don’t think that songs that are talking about glorifying wet female genitalia – I don’t know which one wrote that song."
It seems Charlie may have been a bit confused, as he was seemingly referencing Cardi B's song WAP, which is a duet with rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
Did Charlie Kirk Like Nicki Minaj?
'When Nicky drops I lose my mind,' Charlie Kirk allegedly wrote in a text to Candace Owens.
Conservative pundit Candace Owens had also shared alleged screenshots of a conversation with Charlie in which he appeared to praise Minaj.
"When Nicky drops, I lose my mind," he allegedly wrote about her verse in Kanye West's Monster.
He also put out a supportive message regarding the rapper on X in September 2021 after she alleged her account had been suspended for spreading misinformation about COVID.
"Democrats’ treatment of Nicki Minaj should be all the proof you need that they don’t care about black people, especially those they can’t control," he raged.." "They just use them every 4 years for their votes. But people are waking up."
Minaj told Erika Kirk she loves her at a Turning Point USA event.
Meanwhile, while appearing onstage with Erika over the weekend at a Turning Point USA event, Minaj put her foot in her mouth when she called Vice President JD Vance an "assassin."
"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."
Minaj realized what she had said and got quiet, seemingly embarrassed by her choice of words, as Erika's late husband, Charlie, was assassinated in September.
"Trust me, there's nothing new under the sun that I have not heard," Erika said in response.
Minaj responded, telling Erika she loves her.
"You have to laugh about it," Erika continued. "Truly, I have been called every single thing. And you know what? God is so good."

They don’t even know who they are. So I’m not going to back down anymore. I’m not going to back down ever again," she added.
