Rapper Nicki Minaj praised President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance during her surprise appearance at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest conference on Sunday.

The "Super Bass" singer was introduced as the surprise guest by TPUSA president Erika Kirk, where they discussed her recent alignment with the Trump administration on Christian persecution in Nigeria.

Despite her past support for Democratic candidates, Minaj described the "utmost" respect she had for the Republican administration, particularly for giving people hope during dark times.

"I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president," Minaj said. "I don’t know if he even knows this, but he’s given so many people hope that there's a chance to beat the bad guys and to win, and to do it with your head held high and your integrity intact."

She added that she considers both Trump and Vance to be "one of us" based on how they can still relate to everyday Americans.

"They haven't lost touch of the world," Minaj said. "You know, they're still connected to the world. And what's happening in the world, with the younger people and older people, with the richer people and not so rich people, they have the ability to still connect and be real and make us feel proud to be American."

During her appearance, Kirk also brought up Minaj's public social media rants against Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., opinions that she doubled down upon during the event.

"Dear Newscum, we don't have a problem cleaning up the scum if we have to, please tread lightly. That's what I'd say to Gavie poo," Minaj remarked.

Minaj previously appeared with the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz at a United Nations event in November to bring attention to the religious persecution and killings of Christians in Nigeria.

She also emphasized that her work with the Trump administration was not politically motivated.

"I want to make it very clear — once again — that this isn't about taking sides. This is about standing up in the face of injustice. It's about what I've always stood for my entire career. And I will continue to stand for that for the rest of my life. I will care if anyone, anywhere, is being persecuted for their beliefs," Minaj said at the time.

CBS' "60 Minutes" has delayed a segment interviewing migrants who were sent to El Salvador's maximum-security prison, CECOT, after being deported by the Trump administration.

The segment "Inside CECOT" was originally going to feature correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi interviewing "some of the now released deportees, who describe the brutal and torturous conditions."

"Earlier this year, the Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador, a country most had no ties to, claiming they were terrorists. This move sparked an ongoing legal battle, and nine months later the U.S. government still has not released the names of all those deported and placed in CECOT, one of El Salvador’s harshest prisons," the press release for the segment read.

Hours before the episode was set to air on Sunday, however, the show released an editor's note on X delaying the segment.

"The broadcast lineup for tonight's edition of 60 Minutes has been updated. Our report 'Inside CECOT' will air in a future broadcast," the note read.

The segment was replaced with one titled "The Kanneh-Masons," focusing on seven British siblings who "have become sensations in the classical music world."

The show did not provide a reason for the delay, but a CBS spokesperson informed Fox News Digital that the network "determined it needed additional reporting ."

"60 Minutes" also privatized its preview for the segment on its YouTube channel, which featured Alfonsi speaking to a former inmate about his "four months of hell."

"Did you think you were going to die there?" Alfonsi asked.

"We thought we were already the living dead honestly," one prisoner responded.

The Trump administration has faced controversy for deporting hundreds of Venezuelan gang members to CECOT earlier this year. In March, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued an emergency order blocking President Donald Trump from deporting certain migrants to El Salvador. Despite the order, hundreds of migrants remained in CECOT for months.

Boasberg has since ordered the Department of Justice to provide the status and location of the migrants.
