American rap superstar Nicki Minaj has publicly praised U.S. President Donald Trump for drawing global attention to the plight of Christians in Nigeria, following his recent remarks designating the country as a “nation of concern.”
Taking to her social media platform on Saturday, the “Super Bass” hitmaker commended Trump’s courage, saying it takes “real leadership” to speak on issues that many world leaders avoid.
“Respect to President Trump for shining light on what’s happening to Christians in Nigeria. The world needs more leaders who actually care,” she wrote.
Her post quickly gained traction, sparking thousands of reactions across social media — with many Nigerians thanking her for using her platform to amplify the issue, while others questioned the political undertone of her statement.
Nicki Minaj has previously expressed support for humanitarian causes and religious freedom, often urging her fans to “pray for peace across all nations.”
