Nicki Minaj has made a surprise appearance at Turning Point USA (TPUSA), where she took part in a question-and-answer session with the widowed wife of Charlie Kirk and the new CEO of the political organisation, Erika Kirk, since his husband's passing.

Following her appearance and confirmation that she is a MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporter, a past comment made by Charlie Kirk about the rapper during one of his debates with a student has resurfaced online, sparking renewed backlash and debate

Her husband is a pedo and she defends him I don’t even know man

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Nicki was supposed to be this amazing female rapper and then sold out for garbage pop music... now she sells out for the orange pedo... I get a feeling she'd sell anything out for a paycheck

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

Lil Kim was the amazing female rapper, Nicki was supposed to have massive butt implants.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I look at it now that she tried positioning herself as more of a pop star, but her ability to rap had her stick out at a time when there were almost no women rappers.

Then she lucked out when pop music switched to raps for the bridge and she had a unique sounding flow at the time so all the songwriters who wanted someone who sounded like her to only be able to go to her. Nicki's popularity tanked when Cardi B and other women rappers started mimicking Nicki's style.

and they did it better than her, nicki just got lazy and never innovated.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

shes also seriously in debt, i think hence the grifting.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 3 days ago

Fuck, I haven't paid attention to her for the better part of two decades. Last time I saw her was on The Creep from Lonely Island...15 years ago. Girl has gone downhill.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 59 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

one of her songs is "you a stupid hoe" maybe she really was projecting through her music.

in hindsight she is likely in a huge DEBT, AND Losing her 20mil mansion, because of her rapist husband spending habits.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Isn't her brother in jail? Is this a gift to try and get him out?

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 82 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Nicki full on embraced the Grift.

And well Charlie Kirk had things to say about Nicki, before he took a vow of silence.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What makes you think it's all a grift? Was it the part where Erika Kirk said "grift"?

[–] M137@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

'And we will Charlie Kirk"

Hello stroke, I'm dad.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah my stupid autocorrect does that and it's frustrating. Thanks for the call out and fixed

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 31 points 3 days ago

…his husband’s passing

Erika Kirk is trans confirmed

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (3 children)

This cunt endorsed Sanders, now we find out she is Maga. What the fuck?

[–] RedRibbonArmy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Did she? I remember Cardi B. going for Bernie, but I don't really remember Nicki.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Oh yeah maybe your right. I gotten her mistaken.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

She's a populist and rich idiot, she'll do whatever she thinks will make her the most money.

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

it's too easy to grift. seriously!

[–] nostrauxendar@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago

Guess the bank account was looking a bit empty 🤷‍♂️

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

does anyone here have any recs for trans, lesbian, bisexual and pansexual woman rappers?

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I enjoyed BROCKHAMPTON for the brief period the group existed. Its some kind of unholy combo between a rap group and a boy band and I love it. I'm pretty sure they're all queer.

Edit: I just realized you said woman. I'm sorry, this whole group is Masc.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This took me a couple seconds to really get your joke. I love this movie and I know damn near every line by heart.

Absolutely fantastic.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

It's a joke about Charlie Kirk, using a line from Super Troopers

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 40 points 4 days ago (3 children)

in the minute immediately following the clip in the tweet in this article, she jokes (while on stage with Erika Kirk) that JD Vance was the assassin

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wow. I watched the clip and it was worse than I thought it would be. If you follow the links, do yourself a favour and skip the YouTube comment section.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I should have followed your advice. Good grief, so many deluded fools.

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

God if that isn't one of the most morbidly hilarious things I've ever seen

I have the sense that she is setting herself up for a trump pardon and we just haven't heard the federal crime she's about to be indicted for

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

shes also trying to set up a grift, because she apparently needs the money, her husband has been spending beyond thier means.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if she's fucked or facilitated the fucking of a minor. She's said and defended some horrible shit before.

[–] coherent_domain@infosec.pub 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Consider she married a convicted sex offender, it is really not that surprising.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

her family is full of SAers, not surprised she swung to right.

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 32 points 4 days ago (5 children)

No celebrity is a good role model.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago (2 children)

There are some exceptions (Mr. Rogers, et al.)

In a similar vein, I would also nominate Ms. Rachel at this point.

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

RIP Mr. Rogers.

[–] Elextra@literature.cafe 26 points 4 days ago

I believe different people can be good role models. Good people are just good. Celebrity or not.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago
[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

some seem to be actual people more often than not

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago

She’s not a good role model for human beings.

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

it's a bit too easy to grift. seriously!

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Nicki Minaj sucks and her endorsment for maga sucks but she is nothing compared to Kirk whitesupermasist and ultraracist comments he said

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 days ago
