Nicki Minaj, Ben Shapiro, Erika Kirk, and many more took to the stage this week at Turning Point USA's AmFest event to honor its late founder, Charlie Kirk. The rapper, 43, took to the stage hand-in-hand with Kirk's widow as the crowds applauded them. They then sat down for a discussion. The former then doubled down on her outspokenness against the alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria. "We won't be silenced ever again; we will speak up for Christians wherever they are in this world," she said. Scroll down to see the list of all the celebrities who took to the stage at this year's AmFest. A closer look at celebrities who took to the stage at AmFest in honor of Charlie Kirk: 1: Michael Knowles: Knowles, a renowned podcaster for The Daily Wire, took to the stage on Thursday, December 18, to narrate a verse from the Bible: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." 2. Erika Kirk: Charlie Kirk's widow was greeted by a large crowd, though she took to the stage several times throughout the night. 3: Nicki Minaj: The rapper has been increasingly aligned with the Trump administration in recent weeks, having spoken on the panel discussion of the US Mission to the UN in Nigeria back in November. 4: Ben Shapiro: The conservative radio host took to the stage to slam figures like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, alongside those he called "frauds and grifters." He accused these figures of undermining conservative values: "Today the conservative movement is in serious danger, not just from the left that all too frequently excuses everything up to and including murder," Shapiro said. "The conservative movement is also in danger from charlatans who claim to speak in the name of principle but actually traffic in conspiracism and dishonesty, who offer nothing but bile and despair, who seek to undermine fundamental principles of conservatism by championing aggravation and grievance. These people are frauds, and they are grifters, and they do not deserve your time." 5: Megyn Kelly: Kelly took to the stage to push back on Shapiro's claims that she downplayed Owens' recent behavior. “I object to the whole thing. Ben and I, he had the nerve to call me a friend right before he called me a despicable coward for not calling out the people he wants called out. So he both wants to parent me and be my child,” Kelly said. “He wants to tell me what I have to do and who I have to say what to. And then when I don’t, he and some of his friends want to act like utter victims because I won’t do what they say. They need me. I have to be their daddy and step in to protect them.”She also denounced Shapiro as a friend as she slammed him for calling her out publicly. “And I am not their daddy. And I resent that he thinks he’s in a position to decide who must say what to whom and when. So I don’t think we are friends anymore. I’ve been a very good friend to Ben. Nobody knew who the heck Ben Shapiro was when I started putting him on my shows on the Fox News channel. And I helped make him a star. And I’ve been very, very good to Ben over the years. And he’s been good to me too. He just recently came on my tour, as did you, and I gave him the most kind introduction I could possibly give him because I know that he’s losing subscribers. A lot. And so I tried to do something nice for him by giving him a long 10-minute intro and personally vouching for him.” Stay tuned to SoapCentral for more.
