Nicki Minaj appears to be taking a step back from social media days after making a surprise appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest.
Fans discovered on Wednesday, December 24, that the “Super Bass” rapper had seemingly deactivated her Instagram account.
Visitors to her account now see a message that reads, “Sorry, this page isn’t available.”
Some fans, however, pointed out that Minaj, 43, has sporadically deleted her account from time to time over the years, including in October. Her X account also appears to still be up and running, with one of her last posts being a collage of pictures from her appearance with Erika Kirk (née Frantzve) at AmericaFest.
Us Weekly has reached out to Minaj’s team for comment.
Minaj stepped out on Sunday, December 21, and made a surprise appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest with the new CEO.
Both Minaj and Kirk, 37, walked into Phoenix’s Convention Center hand in hand before discussing a wide variety of issues, including young adults getting involved and engaged with politics early on in life.
At one point, Minaj praised President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance as good examples for young men.
“You have amazing role models like the assassin, JD Vance, our vice president,” she said.
Quickly after realizing her words, Minaj covered her mouth with her hand to signify she may be embarrassed. Kirk, meanwhile, reassured Minaj that she wasn’t offended by the statement.
“Trust me, there’s nothing new under the sun that I have not heard,” Kirk said while laughing. “So, you’re fine. I love you [and] you have to laugh about it — truly. I have been called every single thing, and you know what? God is so good, you let it roll right off your back.”
Erika was named the CEO of Turning Point in September shortly after her husband, the organization’s former chairman, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated at the age of 31.
Vance, 41, appeared unbothered by Minaj’s words at Talking Point USA’s event. After her appearance, the vice president sang his praises for the artist’s words onstage.
“Nicki Minaj said something at Amfest that was really profound,” Vance wrote via X on Monday, December 22. “I’m paraphrasing, but she said, ‘Just because I want little Black girls to think they’re beautiful doesn’t mean I need to put down little girls with blonde hair and blue eyes.’”
He continued, “We all got wrapped up over the last few years in zero sum thinking. This was because the people who think they rule the world pit us against one another. @NICKIMINAJ rejects that. We all should.”
As Erika prepares for her first Christmas without her husband, the mother of two appears focused on all the encouragement she has received from supporters.
While celebrating Thanksgiving, Erika expressed gratitude for those who have expressed love to her family during a changing time.
“It’s easy to fixate on what’s been taken, at what’s missing. But my goodness does the Lord meet me in my weakness, and His strength gently shifts my eyes to what I still have on this side of heaven. What remains is sacred,” she wrote via Instagram on November 27. “I can’t express what the outpouring of love has meant to me and the babies. I’m reading every letter and card, opening every gift, and saving each one for them when they’re older. I’m thankful for a God who brings life out of ashes, who guards my heart, and who carries us as we do our best…today and every day.”
