Nicki Minaj Speaks Out at UN Over Christian Persecution in Nigeria
Nicki Minaj made a striking appearance at the United Nations headquarters, using her platform to call attention to the growing persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
She joined U.S. Ambassador Michael Waltz at a panel focused on violence against Christians in the country.
Minaj painted a grim picture of the situation in Nigeria, describing attacks on churches, homes, and families.
She highlighted the human toll and urged the global community to respond.
While her remarks referenced former President Donald Trump’s efforts to spotlight the issue, she emphasized that her message was about standing against injustice, not creating division.
The rapper also spoke about the power of music to unite people across cultures and beliefs.
She framed religious freedom as a universal right, noting that everyone should be able to practice their faith openly.
Ambassador Waltz described the violence in Nigeria as a “genocide wearing the mask of chaos,” and Minaj pledged to remain vocal in defending those persecuted for their beliefs.
Reactions to her speech have been mixed.
Many praised her for raising awareness on an international stage, while others noted the complexity of Nigeria’s situation, which involves social, ethnic, and political factors beyond religion.
For Minaj and her fans, the “Barbz,” the speech was personal and meaningful.
She reinforced her commitment to speak out wherever injustice occurs, showing a side of her influence focused on purpose and global awareness.
