Nicki Minaj to Speak at UN Event on Attacks Against Christians in Nigeria

American rapper Onika Maraj-Petty, professionally known as Nicki Minaj, is set to speak at a United Nations event in New York on Tuesday, where she is expected to address reported jihadist attacks on Christians in Nigeria.

Minaj will appear alongside U.S. Ambassador to the UN Michael Waltz and Alex Bruesewitz, an adviser to President Donald Trump and the convener of the event.

The development was first reported Sunday evening by U.S. senior political correspondent Eric Cortellessa on X.

Confirming the report, Ambassador Waltz praised Minaj, describing her as “not only arguably the greatest female recording artist, but also a principled individual who refuses to remain silent in the face of injustice.” He added that he was grateful she was using her platform to highlight what he called “atrocities against Christians in Nigeria.”

The event underscores growing international concern over religious persecution in Nigeria, where Christian communities have faced repeated attacks in recent years. Minaj’s participation is expected to draw significant attention to the crisis and amplify calls for global action.
