Rap superstar Nicki Minaj spoke at the United Nations on Tuesday, delivering a powerful and emotional speech about the systematic slaughter of Christians in Nigeria.
Appearing alongside President Trump’s U.N. Ambassador Michael Waltz, Minaj spoke at a packed event at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in New York.

Minaj thanked President Donald Trump for his efforts “to defend Christians in Nigeria, to combat extremism and to bring a stop to violence against those who simply want to exercise their natural right to freedom of religion or belief.”

The discussion was moderated by Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner and focused on the radical Islamist campaign of murder, church burnings, kidnappings, and village raids that has killed more than 52,000 Nigerian Christians since 2009.
“I would like to thank @POTUS for prioritizing this issue and for his leadership on the global stage in calling for urgent action to defend Christians in Nigeria.” – @NICKIMINAJ pic.twitter.com/gi8bLtF1Qt

This genocide went virtually ignored for years under the Biden-Harris regime.
President Trump has designated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern and publicly declared that “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria,” citing thousands of murders by radical Islamist groups like Boko Haram and Fulani militias.

Ambassador Waltz welcomed Minaj to the mission with high praise, calling her “not only arguably the greatest female recording artist, but also a principled individual who refuses to remain silent in the face of injustice.” He thanked her for “leveraging her massive platform to spotlight the atrocities against Christians in Nigeria” and vowed that the Trump administration is taking concrete steps to end the bloodshed.
Minaj addressed her fans, who she calls “Barbs,” explaining that this is not a partisan issue.
“Barbs, I know you’re somewhere listening. I love you so very much,” she said. “This isn’t about taking sides. This is about standing up in the face of injustice.”
“I will care if anyone, anywhere is being persecuted for their beliefs.”
The event builds on Minaj’s earlier public gratitude toward President Trump after he highlighted the crisis on Truth Social. She shared his full statement and wrote, “Thank you to The President & his team for taking this seriously. God bless every persecuted Christian. Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer.”
Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God.
No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other.

Since 2009, over 52,000 Christians have been murdered, making Nigeria one of the deadliest places for followers of the faith.
Advocacy groups describe the situation as an underreported genocide, with villages raided, churches destroyed, and communities targeted in a campaign of religious violence that has drawn limited international intervention until recently.

At the beginning of this month, the official White House TikTok account shared a video featuring President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump using the viral trend of a mashup of Minaj’s song “Beez in the Trap” and “What’s Up?” by 4 Non Blondes.
“The President & First Lady of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Barbz, idk which one of you uploaded this to the white house TikTok but just know unlimited backstage GAG CITY FOR LIFE,” Minaj wrote in response on X.
“Idk what timeline we’re on right now,” she continued. “I’m just goin w|the flow.”

This issue isn’t the first time Minaj has voiced support for Trump.
Just last month, Minaj faced backlash for praising the president while taking aim at Vice President Kamala Harris, crediting Trump for allowing “flattering photos” of her to be posted online without suppression.
“Flattering photos are allowed to be posted of me again. Thanks, POTUS,” Minaj wrote. “Epiphany had politicians thinking she would lead them to a victory. Had live nation thinking she knew her sh*t. lol. How much money did VP Harris have stacked up for her campaign, again? Yikes.”
Minaj has also shared content featuring Trump’s granddaughter dancing to one of her songs, further signaling her support for the president.
In addition to her comments on Trump, Minaj has a history of questioning mainstream narratives, including her skepticism toward COVID-19 vaccines.
Back in 2021, the rapper tweeted about not rushing into vaccination, stating, “They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. if I get vaccinated it won’t for the Met. It’ll be once I feel I’ve done enough research.”
She also infamously shared a controversial anecdote, saying, “My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen.”

Around the same time, the wildly popular rapper shared a clip of Tucker Carlson defending her and caused an uproar once again, as liberals demanded she was siding with “racists.”

Minaj refused to back down and apologize for sharing the clip.
When someone tweeted at her saying, “you know he’s a white nationalist, right?” Minaj fired right back.
Right. I can’t speak to, agree with, even look at someone from a particular political party. Ppl aren’t human any more. If you’re black & a Democrat tells u to shove marbles up ur ass, you simply have to. If another party tells u to look out for that bus, stand there & get hit https://t.co/OhjQZCbmBa
