Just hours after commenting on alleged Christian persecution in Nigeria, American rapper Nicki Minaj has issued a new message, this time making a Nigerian artist’s appeal to her global fanbase.
Her latest appeal comes shortly after her earlier remarks in the UK, where she voiced concerns about Christians in Nigeria. That comment triggered intense conversations online, with many saying she painted the country in a negative light by referring to a “Christian genocide,” while others applauded her for speaking on an issue they believe is often ignored.
Minaj’s Tone Softens With New Appeal
As debates continued to spread, her appeal to Nigerian artists added a new layer to the discourse, especially as she adopted a gentler tone towards entertainers.
In a new post shared on her official X account, Minaj urged her followers to approach Nigerian artists with empathy and understanding. She encouraged fans to avoid being quick to judge entertainers’ choices.
She wrote:
“My darlings, let’s utilize wisdom & compassion as it relates to our Nigerian artists. There are very logical reasons for most things when we look not to judge but to comprehend.
“That goes for every country & their artists. Let’s lift them up & continue to use wisdom.”
Her Nigerian artists appeal has since sparked further discussion, with many fans describing it as a much-needed reminder considering the growing online pressure on public figures. Others noted that it shows her awareness of the intense criticism Nigerian entertainers frequently face.
