On April 25, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner took an unexpected turn after what was supposed to be a glamorous night for politicians, journalists, celebrities, and public figures turned into a major security scare.
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump had arrived at the Washington Hilton for the annual event, joined by Vice President JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and several well-known faces from media and entertainment.
Rapper Nicki Minaj was also expected to attend as a guest of Fox News, but reports revealed she arrived late and was not present inside the ballroom when the chaos began, something that later became a big part of the memes online.
