Speaking during an appearance at the X Takeover event in Austin, Texas, the hip-hop star explained that her pastor first introduced her to Nigeria, a connection further strengthened by her significant Nigerian fanbase, known as the “Barbz.”
Minaj stated that her decision to speak out was prompted by reports regarding the treatment of Christians in the country, questioning why the issue was not receiving greater international attention.
She remarked that public figures often remain silent when topics are not considered fashionable to address, before urging fellow celebrities and influencers to join her in raising awareness.
The rapper’s recent comments follow previous public statements on the subject, including a repost of a statement made by former U.S. President Donald Trump in October 2025 concerning religious freedom concerns in Nigeria.
