Nicki Minaj Addresses United Nations On Alleged Christian Persecution In Nigeria

According to CNN, Nicki Minaj addressed the United Nations at a meeting in New York on Tuesday, November 18. Per the outlet, Minaj was introduced to the crowd by Mike Waltz, President Donald Trump/s ambassador to the United Nations. Furthermore, Minaj shared her gratitude at being able “to shine a spotlight on the deadly threats faced by thousands of Christians in Nigeria.”

“No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion, like I recently stated on social media. And we don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other,” Minaj stated in part, per the outlet.

Per the outlet, earlier this month, President Trump sparked alarm when he stated that he was considering military action in Nigeria due to the alleged  “mass slaughter” of Christians by “Islamist insurgents.” Additionally, Trump reportedly threatened to halt U.S. aid to Nigeria, per CNN. Trump’s statements ultimately caught Minaj’s eye.

To note, in response, Nigerian presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga noted his “shock” at Trump’s assertions. Per PEOPLE, “residents and experts” of Nigeria have stated that “the majority” of the victims of the alleged persecution are Muslim rather than Christian.

Tammy Rivera, Amanda Seales & Tamika D. Mallory Weigh In On Nicki Minaj Addressing United Nations On Alleged Christian Persecution In Nigeria

Furthermore, Tammy Rivera even stepped into TSR’s comment section to add, “Please yall don’t be blinded and misguided SMDH! 1. The U.S. rarely ‘intervenes’ unless there’s strategic or financial benefit this is a well-documented pattern in U.S. foreign policy: Oil Mineral access (lithium, cobalt, gold, rare earth metals), Military positioning, Political influence. When countries become more economically independent, especially African nations cutting off old colonial contracts and reclaiming resources, it threatens Western economic interests. That’s why suddenly framing involvement as ‘protecting Christians’ or ‘humanitarian help’ can sound… convenient. WAKE TF UP‼️‼️‼️‼️”
Amid this, Amanda Seales shared a clip on Instagram, noting that Minaj may be ill-informed and aiding in a “ploy.” Meanwhile, Tamika D. Mallory also shared a clip, noting that Trump is attempting to “exploit” Nigeria with Minaj’s aid.
