Nicki Minaj Says Nigerian Pastor Inspired Her to Speak on Christians’ Safety
Nicki Minaj says her Nigerian pastor gave her a personal connection to Nigeria and influenced her decision to speak about the safety of Christians in the country. She also cited her large Nigerian fan base as part of that connection. The rapper said reports of attacks and displacement involving Christian communities prompted her to speak publicly. She urged other celebrities and influencers to pay attention and join the conversation. Her comments follow earlier remarks at international events and online posts about insecurity in Nigeria. The Federal Government maintains that violence affects Nigerians of all faiths and rejects claims of a coordinated persecution of Christians.
