Nicki Minaj, US UN envoy Michael Waltz to speak on Nigeria’s Christian persecution, raising global awareness.
Rap superstar Nicki Minaj and US Ambassador to the United Nations, Michael Waltz, are set to speak at a high-profile event this week on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. The collaboration, arranged by political advisor Alex Bruesewitz, underscores growing international attention on religious persecution in the West African nation.
In a tweet, Ambassador Waltz praised Minaj’s commitment, stating, “@NICKIMINAJ is not only arguably the greatest female recording artist, but also a principled individual who refuses to remain silent in the face of injustice. I’m grateful she’s leveraging her massive platform to spotlight atrocities against Christians in Nigeria.”
Minaj responded, expressing gratitude for the opportunity, saying: “Ambassador, I am so grateful to be entrusted with an opportunity of this magnitude. It means more than you know. The Barbz & I will never stand down in the face of injustice. We’ve been given our influence by God. There must be a bigger purpose.”
The event, scheduled for Tuesday, will feature remarks from both Minaj and Waltz, highlighting steps the US administration is taking to address and mitigate attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria. (ARISE NEWS)
