A screenshot from Tammy Rivera's Instagram Story appears to label Nicki Minaj a 'bootlicker' amid her praise for political figures, while an old clip of Charlie Kirk resurfaces criticizing the rapper as a poor role model. Rivera has previously voiced concerns over Minaj's ties to MAGA and Turning Point USA. The drama unfolds as Minaj continues her apparent shift toward conservative circles.
Oh, the tea is piping hot today, roomies! 🚨 On December 22, 2025, Hollywood Unlocked dropped a screenshot allegedly from Tammy Rivera's Instagram Story, showing a post over Vice President J.D. Vance's tweet praising Nicki Minaj as 'really profound' for rejecting 'zero sum thinking.' The added text? 'She’s the epitome of a bootlicker.' Users on X quickly reposted it, and poof—possibly deleted now. Messy much?
This isn't Rivera's first shade. Last month, after Minaj spoke at a United Nations conference on Christian persecution in Nigeria—invited by the Trump administration—Rivera commented on The Shade Room: 'Please yall don’t be blinded and misguided SMDH! 1. The U.S. rarely ‘intervenes’ unless there’s strategic or financial benefit... WAKE TF UP.' She doubled down in a chat with Carlos King, claiming the administration took advantage of Minaj.
Fast-forward to December 21 at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest 2025, where Minaj sat down with Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk. Nicki gushed, 'I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president,' and called the event more important than any concert: 'Because this is a direct link between young people and God.' She even dubbed J.D. Vance 'the assassin,' sparking murmurs in the crowd memorializing Kirk, who was shot dead earlier in 2025. Erika smoothed it over, laughing, 'I've heard everything under the sun.'
But here's the resurfaced clip that's got everyone talking: From April 2024, Kirk debated a student and slammed Nicki as not a good role model for '18-year-old black girls,' seemingly confusing her with Cardi B over 'WAP' and songs 'glorifying wet female genitalia.' Ironic, right? Minaj's MAGA flirtations started with praising Trump's Nigeria stance in November, insisting she wasn't picking sides—but her TPUSA vibes say otherwise. So, is Nicki fully Team MAGA, or just stirring the pot? Spill your thoughts! 🔥
