Nicki Minaj is scheduled to join former President Donald Trump and U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz at the United Nations today in a high-profile event spotlighting the ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
According to sources, Minaj will use her global platform to raise awareness about religious violence, kidnappings, and attacks targeting Christian communities in parts of Nigeria. The appearance is expected to amplify calls for international pressure on Nigerian authorities to protect religious minorities and uphold religious freedom.
Ambassador Waltz, who has been vocal on Christian minority rights in Nigeria, is expected to highlight specific cases, including mass killings, church bombings, and systemic discrimination. Trump, in his remarks, is likely to reiterate his earlier designation of Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” over religious persecution.
The event comes amid growing advocacy from U.S. lawmakers, religious groups, and human rights organizations calling for tougher sanctions and more robust diplomatic engagement to address the crisis. Analysts say this collaboration between a top-tier celebrity and political figures could significantly boost global attention on Nigeria’s security and religious freedom challenges.
