Nicki Minaj has praised President Donald Trump for speaking out about extremism against Christians in Nigeria.
“No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion,” the rapper, 42, wrote in a post on X. “We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other.”
Nigeria has said it is committed to tackling violent extremism but has rejected any suggestion that a genocide against Christians is taking place in the West African nation.
Why It Matters
Nigeria is a major power in Africa, representing the most populated nation and fourth-highest Gross Domestic Products (GDP) on the continent. The country has a population of 240 million and is evenly split between Christians and Muslims.
However, the nation has long faced suggestions by some U.S. evangelical Christian groups and politicians that a deliberate campaign of extermination is taking place against Nigeria’s Christian population. Trump in his first administration placed Nigeria on the U.S. religious freedom watchlist, but President Joe Biden lifted that designation during his administration.
On Friday, Trump announced his intent to designate Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” for religious freedom violations, which would allow the U.S. to institute punitive measures and sanctions on the country, such as restricting non-humanitarian aid.

Kinda blew my hair (not that there is much) back when I heard that yesterday. Kudos to MS Minaj for speaking up.
For those of you in Rio Linda, Nicki Minaj was born in Trinidad and Tobago and moved to the U.S. as a teenager.
For those who don’t know: Nicki Minaj is a chart topping female rapper.
Cardi B. is the rapper more outspoken about politics and she claims to be liberal and anti-Trump of course, but a lot of her statements concerning inflation and taxes make her sound Republican. 🙄
Who gives a shxt about Nicki Minaj.... The hell with all the actors, actresses, singers, etc.
Get you maddog, but in the case of these severely persecuted Christians, any and all exposure, awareness, and legitimacy their cause can get is welcome and necessary.
And answered prayer.
She’s married a man who is a registered sex offender from the 90’s, and the victim said Nicki tried to bribe her. She also made anti-vaccine statements, but people think she eventually got it, based on where she went. She also has a feud with Cardi B, who ate her lunch, and stole her throne.
Nicky Minaj is almost 43 years old. Like many very sexualized and raunchy performers, with age, she is probably confronting her moral beliefs and previous behavior.
She claims Christianity saved her drug-addicted father, so no doubt its always been in the background of her life.
Didn’t know that about her father! Praise God.
Remember, only the people in the world who were allegedly harmed by Jews matter.
... with a YUGE butt. Some folks find that attractive, I hear.
If Trump is against the killing of Christians in Nigeria, then it follow naturally that the democrats are opposed to Trump on that issue too.
Schumer will be urging Boko Haram to double-down on their work.
She was born right in the four corners!
