Nicki Minaj's fans are fuming after the rapper co-signed President Donald Trump's threats toward Nigeria.
On Saturday, November 1, the POTUS accused the Nigerian government of allowing "Islamic Terrorists" to kill Christians. In his post on Truth Social, Trump claimed he would halt all aid and assistance to Nigeria if the alleged killings continued. Soon after Trump's message spread across the Internet, Minaj reposted it and said, "reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude."
"No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion," she continued. "We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other."
"Numerous countries all around the world are being affected by this horror & it’s dangerous to pretend we don’t notice," she concluded. "Thank you to The President & his team for taking this seriously. God bless every persecuted Christian. Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer."
Minaj's sentiment toward the President's threats didn't sit well with some of her loyal supporters. One Barb accused the "Everybody" rapper of encouraging Trump's tirade and weaponizing religion. “We live in a country that wants to weaponize religion so YOUR GAY FANS can be pushed into a corner and silenced," the fan wrote.
“Imagine hearing that Christians are being MURDERED & making it about you being gay," she replied in a now-deleted post on X. “When my home was swatted multiple times with my innocent toddler inside (with maybe 20 officers with guns drawn pointed at our home due to political corruption), you being gay couldn’t save me. Expecting someone to stay oppressed, abused, targeted, harassed & CONSISTENTLY ignored by public figures who were supposed to be helping them says more about you than it does anyone else."
Nicki Minaj didn't back down from her stance either. She continued to embrace Trump's agenda by reposting a message that controversial United Nations Ambassador Mike Waltz made on X. See what she had to say below.
