American rap superstar Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, popularly known as Nicki Minaj, has called for an end to alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria.
Speaking at a United States Mission to the United Nations conference on “Combating Religious Violence and the Killing of Christians in Nigeria, the rapper insisted that no group of people should be persecuted because of their faith.
The Grammy-winning artist stated that her mission was not to take sides but to unite humanity.
“I want to make it very clear, once again, that this isn’t about taking sides. This is about standing up in the face of injustice. It’s about what I’ve always stood for,” she said.
The rapper thanked “President Trump for prioritizing this issue and for his leadership on the global stage in calling for urgent action to defend Christians in Nigeria, to combat extremism, and to bring a stop to violence against those who simply want to exercise their natural right to freedom of religion or belief.”
Some weeks ago, President Donald Trump raised concerns over what he described as the mass killing of Christians in Nigeria.
He asked the country’s authorities to address the issue and declared Nigeria a country of particular concern (CPC).
Trump later threatened military action in Nigeria if the killings continued.
