Nicki Minaj is drawing attention after speaking about artificial intelligence, Christian faith and political participation at X Takeover 2026 in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, October 10.
The rapper appeared at the event, held at Tesla’s Giga Texas facility, as a keynote speaker and met with fans. Her comments on Grok AI and the role of elections in church discussions became key talking points from the appearance.
During the conversation, Minaj praised Grok, the AI chatbot linked to Elon Musk’s xAI. According to video from the event, she said the tool had changed her life and explained that she uses it to help create assistants for her business.
She also made a personal claim that Grok had possibly helped save her life recently, but she did not explain what happened. The statement has attracted attention, although the circumstances behind it remain unclear.
Minaj also spoke about Christianity and political awareness. She urged Christians to pay attention to what is happening around them and said elections should be included in church teachings. Her remarks add to her recent public comments connecting her religious beliefs with political issues.
Her appearance comes amid growing public attention to her political views and her support for US President Donald Trump. These positions have drawn both support and criticism online, making her public statements a regular subject of discussion beyond music.
X Takeover is an independently organised event that brings together communities interested in Tesla, electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, robotics and space technology. The 2026 gathering took place at Giga Texas, with Minaj among its featured speakers.
Although Minaj is best known for her music, her latest appearance placed the focus on her views about technology, faith and public life. Her comments about Grok and the role of elections in church discussions have become the main points of interest from the event.
