Nicki Minaj Says Artistes Worldwide Need Understanding, Not Attacks
Nicki Minaj has appealed for calm as several Nigerian artistes face heavy criticism over their recent comments and online behaviour.
The spotlight turned tense after Burna Boy was accused of sounding dismissive in a joke about the kind of fans he prefers.
Yemi Alade also faced harsh reactions for rejecting the idea of American involvement in Nigeria’s growing insecurity.
The anger spread to other celebrities who continued posting regular content during a week marked by a deadly church attack in Kwara and the kidnapping of schoolgirls in Kebbi state.
Seeing the rising tension, Nicki Minaj stepped in with a call for patience.
She encouraged fans to think carefully before reacting and to approach artistes with understanding rather than anger.
According to her, people often see situations more clearly when they try to understand instead of rushing to judge.
Nicki added that this reminder applies to artistes everywhere.
She urged fans to support their entertainers, especially during difficult moments when emotions are high and criticism spreads easily.
