She did not shy away from describing the severity of the violence facing Christians in Nigeria.
“In Nigeria, Christians are being targeted, driven from their homes and killed,” Minaj explained. “Churches have been burned, families have been torn apart and entire communities live in fear constantly simply because of how they pray.”³
Her remarks aligned with Trump’s foreign policy, which had previously designated Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” for egregious religious persecution.⁴ Trump even went so far as to threaten halting U.S. aid and warned the country might intervene militarily to stop Islamic terrorists from slaughtering Christians.⁵
Liberal reactions were swift and furious. Social media erupted as Democrats tried to process a high-profile celebrity abandoning their narrative.
Minaj’s support for Trump cost her dearly with leftist fans, leading to a loss of over 100,000 followers after she posted videos highlighting Trump’s achievements and agenda for a second term.⁶
But the panic goes beyond social media metrics. Minaj is a cultural force with enormous sway over younger audiences—a demographic Democrats heavily rely on. Her backing signals that the Left’s grip on celebrity influence is weakening.
Ambassador Waltz acknowledged the significance during a Fox News interview, calling their partnership “an unlikely duo, but what an amazing duo.”⁷
The situation in Nigeria itself is grim. In 2025 alone, more than 7,000 Christians have been killed—an average of 35 per day.⁸ Open Doors reports that Nigeria sees more Christian deaths annually than any other country combined.⁹
Since 2009, estimates suggest between 50,000 and 100,000 Christians have been murdered and over 19,000 churches attacked or destroyed.¹⁰ These figures are not abstract—they represent real families suffering at the hands of groups like Boko Haram, ISIS West Africa, and Fulani militants.
Minaj’s UN remarks also exposed the Left’s hypocrisy. The Biden administration removed Nigeria from the Country of Particular Concern list in 2021, ignoring the ongoing slaughter.¹¹ Trump reversed this, demanding accountability and action.
Minaj emphasized the moral imperative over politics:
“This is about standing up in the face of injustice,” she said. “It’s about what I’ve always stood for my entire career.”¹²
The rapper made it clear she aims to unite rather than divide, yet Democrats cannot tolerate collaboration with Trump—even when lives are at stake.
Once a supporter of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Minaj criticized Trump’s family separation policies in 2020.¹³ But his decisive action on Nigeria prompted her to speak out.
Responding to Trump’s Truth Social post on Nigeria, she wrote:
“Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God,” Minaj said on November 1. “No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion.”¹⁴
She thanked Trump and his team for taking the issue seriously and encouraged followers to pray for persecuted Christians. Meanwhile, the White House shared her music on TikTok, highlighting Trump’s accomplishments.
As liberal partisans struggle to maintain their cultural dominance, Minaj’s UN appearance proves that true influence comes from addressing real-world issues, not merely towing a partisan line. Trump’s approach shows that winning the culture war isn’t about rhetoric—it’s about results, and the Left is terrified.
