Rapper Nicki Minaj says she spoke up about violence against Christians in Nigeria because of her personal connections there. She mentioned having a Nigerian pastor and a big fan base in the country. Minaj called reports of kidnappings and killings during church services outrageous, arguing that staying silent lets oppression continue. She made these comments during a public appearance, stressing that people should be free to worship without fear.
Her statements follow a social media post from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who claimed Christianity faces an existential threat in Nigeria. Minaj said reading that made her grateful for religious freedom in America, condemning persecution anywhere. The Nigerian government has repeatedly denied claims of any organized campaign targeting Christians, blaming the violence on broader issues like terrorism and banditry instead of religious bias.
