Nicki Minaj's appearance at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest 2025 in Phoenix has triggered a wave of notable reactions online. The rapper said that performing around the world "did not mean as much as" being at AmFest.

Nicki Minaj explained,

"You know, they project fear, shame, onto people who don't think and do as they think and do, but I have traveled the world. I have performed for huge crowds all around the world and no matter how many songs I do on that stage, it did not mean as much as this. This is a direct link for younger people. This is a direct link between young people and God."

Netizens reacted to Nicki Minaj's statement, saying,

"Great choice. Y'all are using her and we all know why."

"Was not on my bingo card that among all the many influencers who proclaim themselves as "Christians" on my feed, @NICKIMINAJ would be the ONLY one not wallowing in the mud, but pointing us back to God. Praise God, and thanks to the @TPUSA team for creating the perfect lineup for Day 4.", commented another.

Others also chimed in:

"I knew Nicki was the real deal when she came to the Ellen show and said her music was not for little girls (5 year olds). I knew this was a good person right there and then.", wrote a netizen.
"Nicki Minaj at AmFest was straight fire 🔥 She said even after performing for massive crowds, nothing hit like this moment. Love her speaking her truth. Big respect ✊", added another.
"Perfectly stated, this moment makes me feel so hopeful.... im old and worry about my grands and the future and who will step up and step in to influence and support the generations coming. Keep on speaking God Bless you.", commented a third.
