Nicki Minaj, an American musician, was at a loss for words after recognising she had just referred to Vice President JD Vance as an "assassin" during a Turning Point USA event on Sunday. Nicki Minaj made an unfortunate language gaffe during a surprise appearance onstage with Erika Kirk at AmericaFest, hosted by Turning Point USA.

She first energised the gathering by advising young men not to be "new-s**m," a swipe at California Governor Gavin Newsom, and instead to emulate President Donald Trump.
