Nicki Minaj calls for urgent action to protect Nigerian Christians.

 Rapper and singer Nicki Minaj addressed the United Nations on November 19, 2025, speaking at an event hosted by the United States Mission to the UN, where she urged global leaders to take urgent action to protect Nigerian Christians from alleged persecution and violence. In her speech, Minaj highlighted reports of churches being burned, families displaced, and individuals targeted for their faith, emphasizing that the call for protection is about human rights rather than politics or division. She specifically thanked President-elect Donald Trump for prioritizing the issue and advocating for international intervention to combat what she described as rising threats against Christians in Nigeria. The claims of widespread Christian persecution in Nigeria remain contested, with some sources noting that while religious tensions exist, particularly in northern regions involving Islamist groups like Boko Haram, the narrative of a targeted "genocide" has been debated and lacks unanimous international consensus.
