Nicki Minaj is trading the microphone for the podium at the United Nations.
Tomorrow, Tuesday November 18, the Queen of Rap will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with U.S. Ambassador Michael Waltz to address the brutal persecution of Christians in Nigeria – an invitation that came straight from the Trump inner circle.
It all started when Minaj, never shy on X, repeatedly called out the killings and displacement of Nigerian Christians. Her posts caught the eye of Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz, who quietly arranged the historic speaking slot.
Waltz himself praised her courage, tweeting that Minaj “refuses to remain silent in the face of injustice.” Her emotional reply – complete with her signature pink bow – has already racked up over a million views.
While the UN stage is new territory for the “Anaconda” hitmaker, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Nigeria remains one of the deadliest places on earth to be Christian, with thousands killed yearly by jihadist groups and armed herdsmen.
Back home, Nigerian Twitter is on fire. Users are hailing Minaj as the global voice their own celebrities refuse to be.
“Where are Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy?” one viral post asks, now sitting at hundreds of thousands of likes. “An American-Trinidadian queen is doing our job.”
Some locals even joke that the government fears Minaj more than any homegrown activist.
Tomorrow’s event won’t be a formal General Assembly session, but sources say the room will be packed with diplomats, faith leaders, and journalists hungry to see the superstar turned advocate in action.
Whether cameras catch her in Barbz pink or power-suit black, one thing is certain: Nicki Minaj just made the crisis in Nigeria impossible to ignore.
And the world – especially Nigerian Christians under siege – will be watching.
