"The US-based Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj will work alongside the White House to highlight claims of Christian persecution in Nigeria. Minaj is expected to deliver a speech at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Tuesday, according to a Time journalist who first posted about the collaboration on Sunday, adding that it was arranged by Alex Bruesewitz, an adviser to Donald Trump."
"Ambassador, I am so grateful to be entrusted with an opportunity of this magnitude. I do not take it for granted. It means more than you know. Referring to her fanbase, known as the Barbz, she continued: The Barbz & I will never stand down in the face of injustice. We've been given our influence by God. There must be a bigger purpose."
"Minaj's collaboration with the White House comes just days after she publicly supported a Truth Social post from the US president in which he condemned what he called the Nigerian government's failure to prevent attacks on Christians. Trump's comments follow weeks of pressure from conservative Christian groups urging him to categorize the west African nation as a country of particular concern over alleged religious persecution."
