According to online reports, Nicki Minaj lost around 10 million followers after her appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference alongside Erika Kirk. She has also reportedly shut her Instagram down.

Her appearance at the conference had alot of her fans and music lovers asking why was she there? Well now, we may have an answer. According to MediaTakeOut, she was allegedly paid $1M for her interview.

Whether she was paid or not is still up for debate, but I think we can all agree that her appearance has everybody talking.
