Nicki Minaj Speaks Out On Alleged Persecution Of Christians In Nigeria
American rapper Nicki Minaj has declared that she and other Christians will no longer remain silent over what she described as the persecution and killing of Christians in Nigeria, saying attempts to intimidate them into silence have failed.
Minaj made the remarks during a surprise appearance at AmericaFest on Sunday, while responding to a question from Erika Kirk, widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Speaking on religious freedom, Minaj said many Americans take the right to worship for granted, while Christians in other parts of the world are forced to practise their faith in fear or secrecy. She urged believers to remember and pray for those facing persecution, specifically mentioning Nigeria.
She said reports of kidnappings, killings and attacks on Christians during church services in Nigeria deeply disturbed her, adding that such acts should spark outrage in the United States.
> “We’re not backing down anymore. We are not going to be silenced by the bullies,” Minaj said, stressing that she would continue to speak up for Christians globally.
The rapper also reflected on her Christian faith, tracing it to her childhood in Trinidad and later years in New York, where regular church attendance shaped her life. She said although fame and career pressures sometimes pulled her away, she recently experienced a renewed closeness to God that has given her clarity and courage.
Addressing young people at the event, Minaj praised their passion and faith, saying it gives hope for the future.
The comments have since sparked widespread reactions, particularly in Nigeria, where insecurity and religiously linked violence remain major national concerns.
