At the United Nations, rapper Nicki Minaj voiced her appreciation for former President Donald Trump’s efforts to address the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, stating that “faith is under attack in way too many places.” Minaj emphasized the unifying power of music across cultures and religions, highlighting the importance of religious freedom for all, regardless of background or location.
Minaj made clear that her stance was not about taking sides but about standing up against injustice, a principle she affirmed has guided her career. She pledged her continued commitment to advocating for those persecuted for their beliefs globally. While data on the specific context of Trump’s actions and the persecution of Christians in Nigeria requires further examination for comprehensive understanding, reports from organizations like Open Doors consistently document persecution of Christians in Nigeria due to religious beliefs, further underscoring the importance of Minaj’s statement.
