Rapper Nicki Minaj has found herself at the center of a storm of outrage after publicly supporting former U.S. President Donald Trump’s shocking threat to take military action against Nigeria. Trump, in a fiery Truth Social post, accused Nigerian authorities of allowing “Islamic terrorists” to kill Christians, warning that if it continued, the U.S. could launch a “fast, vicious, and sweet” attack. Nicki appeared to endorse his statement, praising his stance and calling for prayers for persecuted Christians around the world — a move that instantly divided her fanbase and ignited a fierce online debate.
The “Super Freaky Girl” star wrote, “No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion,” thanking Trump and his team for “taking this seriously.” Her comments quickly went viral, drawing criticism from fans who accused her of aligning with MAGA politics and overlooking the complex religious tensions in Nigeria. Many pointed out that both Christians and Muslims have been victims of violence in the country, with Nigerian President Bola Tinubu emphasizing that extremism affects people “across faiths and regions.”
The backlash was swift and unforgiving, especially among her LGBTQ+ supporters, who accused Minaj of supporting a movement that has repeatedly targeted their rights. In a now-deleted post, she reportedly fired back at critics, saying, “Imagine hearing Christians are being MURDERED & making it about you being gay.” As the controversy deepens, fans and observers alike are asking: has Nicki’s bold stance crossed the line between compassion and controversy?
