Nicki Minaj Deactivates Instagram After Kirk Sitdown
Minaj cemented her induction to MAGA by appearing with Erika Kirk this month.
Rapper Nicki Minaj is no longer on Instagram, following backlash to her embrace of MAGA. Minaj sat down with Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, earlier this month, where she made anti-trans comments and thirsted over Vice President JD Vance, whom she affectionately called an “assassin” during her AmericaFest appearance. “Dear young men, you have amazing role models like our handsome, dashing president,” she also said, as Kirk praised her “heart for the lord.” Her appearance with the Turning Point USA CEO isn’t Minaj’s first foray into MAGA, but it was her loudest to date. The rapper, known for her online trolling, became the trolled following the event. Without comment, she shuttered her accounts on Dec. 24. Charlie Kirk, for his part, was not a fan of Minaj prior to his death, per a resurfaced video that shows him telling onlookers that Minaj is not “a good role model,” as he criticized her music.
