During a conversation with Erica Kirk, widow of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, rapper Nicki Minaj mistakenly referred to US Vice President JD Vance as an "assassin". Realising the slip, Minaj lowered the microphone, looked down, and covered her mouth with her palm. Erica then reassured her, saying, "Trust me, there’s nothing new under...sun that I haven't heard, so you’re fine."
