Nicki Minaj delivers emotional UN speech on persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
00:05
Thanks Trump for standing up to injustice.
00:09
Nicki Minaj made headlines worldwide after delivering a five-minute address at the United Nations on November 18th.
00:16
Speaking from a podium flanked by American and UN flags, she called the crisis in Nigeria a moral emergency,
00:22
describing the violence as a wound on the soul of humanity.
00:25
The event, titled, Combating Religious Violence and the Killing of Christians in Nigeria,
00:31
was hosted by the U.S. Mission to the UN and organized by Ambassador Michael Waltz.
00:37
Nicki began by thanking Ambassador Waltz for the invitation and expressing nervousness.
00:42
She then pivoted to gratitude, adding,
00:44
I would like to thank President Donald Trump for prioritizing this issue and for his leadership
00:48
in calling for urgent action to defend Christians in Nigeria.
00:52
Minaj quickly clarified her purpose.
00:54
This isn't about taking sides.
00:56
This is about standing up in the face of injustice.
01:00
Minaj cited the ongoing attacks against Nigerian Christians.
01:04
In Nigeria, Christians are being targeted, driven from their homes, and killed.
01:08
According to humanitarian group Open Doors,
01:10
Nigeria ranks sixth on the 2025 World Watch list for Christian persecution,
01:16
with more than 4,100 faith-related killings in 2024 alone.
01:20
No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion.
01:25
Music and faith unite us.
01:27
They're both languages of the soul, she added.
01:30
It's about uniting humanity, she said.
01:32
In a lighter moment, she mentioned her loyal fan base.
01:35
I know my beautiful barbs are watching somewhere, drawing laughter from attendees.
01:40
It's about what I've always stood for, and I'll continue to stand for it for the rest of my life.
01:44
Her closing remarks earned a standing ovation from several panelists and guests.
01:49
Nigeria's ongoing religious violence has been one of Africa's most severe humanitarian challenges for over a decade.
01:56
While extremist groups are largely to blame,
01:59
officials note the violence also affects Muslims and is tied to poverty and land disputes.
02:03
And I'll continue to stand for it for the rest of my life.
