Nicki Minaj upset her fans over comments praising Donald Trump
Nicki Minaj's social media presence lately has increasingly put her at odds with her fans. Most stood by her amidst her online spat with Cardi B, where she said that the Bronx rapper's oldest daughter was a "roach" and a "monkey," but now she's found herself under even more scrutiny as she cozies up to Republican politicians and shows her support for President Donald Trump.On Saturday, Minaj uploaded a screenshot of a Truth Social post from Trump to X that talked about how Christians in Nigeria are "facing an existential threat" and that he is making the country a "country of particular concern." She praised the president and said she felt "a deep sense of gratitude" because we "live in a country where we can freely worship God." (@) Trump said that the persecution of Christians in Nigeria may result in swift military action from the United States if it continues. In an interview with Al Jazeera on Sunday, a spokesman for Nigerias Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied any targeting of Christians. "We are not proud of the security situation that we are passing through, but to go with the narrative (that Christians are the only ones being targeted) is not true. There is no Christian genocide in Nigeria," the spokesperson said. "Weve continuously made our point clear that we acknowledge the fact that there are killings that have taken place in Nigeria, but those killings were not restricted to Christians alone. Muslims are being killed. Traditional worshippers are being killed The majority is not the Christian population."One of Minaj's fans quote-tweeted her post praising Trump and said they are "tapping out" of being a fan, writing, "Nicki, as a die hard fan, who genuinely sticks besides you through every single scandal, you cozying up to this fucking loser, i might actually have to tap out," the post reads. "We live in a country that wants to weaponize religion so YOUR GAY FANS can be pushed into a corner and silenced." (@) The rapper then responded to the post, saying, "Imagine hearing that Christians are being MURDERED & making it about you being gay [] I'll advocate for you the same way that I'm advocating for MURDERED CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA." She continued, "Like I always have. Just remember that. Diligently. Compassionately. Just remember that part, too!!!! Minaj laughed and doubted that the person she was interacting with was a "die hard fan" and threatened to block them. (@) She also prompted a response from Mike Waltz, the United States ambassador to the United Nations, who invited Minaj to the UN so they could speak in "more depth about what our administration is doing to protect Christians freedoms all over the world." (@) The rapper boasted about the invitation in a separate post to X, quote-tweeting one of her fans' posts saying she was "the first female rapper in history to receive an invitation to the United Nations," and wrote, "COME ON BARBZ, LETS MAKE AMERICA GAG AGAIN."
