Rap Icon Nicki Minaj has lent her voice to a pressing global issue, calling for an end to faith-based persecution in Nigeria. In a rare public appearance with US President Donald Trump, Minaj praised Trump's efforts to prioritize the protection of Nigerian Christians. The issue has gained significant attention in recent times, with the Trump administration making it a priority. According to Minaj, Christians in Nigeria are facing severe persecution, with many being driven from their homes, killed, or forced to live in constant fear. She emphasized the importance of upholding the fundamental right to freedom of religion and called on the international community to take urgent action to defend Nigerian Christians. Minaj's appearance alongside Washington's Ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, came after she backed a social media post by Trump, who accused Nigeria's government of failing to stop attacks on Christians. The President also claimed that the Nigerian government was tolerating the murders of Christians by 'Islamist terrorists.' While Nigerian officials maintain that terrorism strikes all faiths indiscriminately, Ambassador Waltz pointed out that there is evidence suggesting a disproportionate suffering among Christians. Minaj's stance on this issue is notable, given her past association with the feminist movement and her provocative lyrics and music videos. In a powerful statement, Minaj said, 'I want to be clear, protecting Christians in Nigeria is not about taking sides or dividing people. It is about uniting humanity.' Her words highlight the need for a collective response to this pressing humanitarian crisis.
