“Erika Kirk, God bless, tragic. I am sorry for what happened, but nobody knows why she’s out there in a glittering pant suit in a recreated tent that her husband tragically was murdered in throwing merch out.
She’s out there talking to Nicki Minaj. People are confused. What’s going on? Those are the three words that sum up this whole entire mess.”Dillon was referring to Erika Kirk hosting a public conversation with Nicki Minaj during the 2025 America Fest.
