Nicki Minaj urges celebrities to speak out on Christian persecution in Nigeria

Nicki Minaj, speaking at the X Takeover event held at Tesla’s Giga Texas facility in Austin, Texas on October 11, 2026, urged more celebrities and influencers to speak out about the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. She said her personal connection—through her Nigerian pastor and her fanbase known as Barbs—drew her attention to reports of Christians being attacked simply for their faith, and she questioned why the issue isn’t receiving more public attention. She also noted that her pastor’s Nigerian roots and the loyalty of her Barbs fans give her a direct link to the country’s realities.

Her remarks highlight a concern that violence against Christian communities in Nigeria is under‑reported, which matters to Nigerians who live with the threat of such attacks or know loved ones affected. Increased international attention could pressure authorities to improve protection and encourage dialogue on religious tolerance.

Will you join the call to speak out about the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, or seek out credible reports to stay informed about the situation?
