‘Praying for her downfall’: Nicki Minaj slammed for thanking Trump in UN speech about protecting Christians in Nigeria

Nicki Minaj sparked widespread controversy after she thanked Donald Trump during her UN address centered on the protection of Christians in Nigeria. What began as a serious discussion on religious persecution quickly shifted in tone when she referenced Trump, prompting an immediate wave of criticism online. Many felt her remarks blurred the lines between humanitarian advocacy and political endorsement, leading to accusations that she was using a global platform for attention-seeking or political alignment.

Before addressing the trolling Nicki Minaj faced for thanking Trump, it’s important to highlight that her comments also received significant appreciation from Christians in Nigeria and supporters of the cause. Many praised her for using her global platform to bring attention to the persecution they face, calling her support a much-needed boost in amplifying their struggles. For those directly affected and for activists fighting for their protection, Nicki’s recognition of the issue felt validating and timely, offering visibility to a crisis that often goes unnoticed on the world stage.

Reacting to it, one wrote, “Niki Minaj has made an enemy for life. I will be here praying and wishing for her downfall till one of us live this world.”

A second added, “Like she’s so coookkkeedddd. She wants that pardon for Kenny so bad.” A third went on to add, “She’s doing all this because Lil Wayne was pardoned and it’s all part of the package deal.”

Minaj, speaking at an event organized by the U.S. Embassy to the United Nations, expressed gratitude to Donald Trump “for prioritizing this issue and for his leadership.” She pointed out that the plight of Christians in Nigeria has been a recurring focus of her social media posts, shared with her millions of followers.

She noted that Trump had urged “urgent action to defend Christians in Nigeria” and to “combat extremism,” while also pledging to stand up “in the face of injustice” for anyone persecuted for their faith. Standing beside U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz, Minaj asserted that Christians in Nigeria are being targeted, displaced, and killed.

She further stressed that churches have been burned, families shattered, and entire communities forced to live in fear “simply because of how they pray.”
