Waltz invites Nicki Minaj to UN embassy to discuss Christian persecution in Nigeria

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz invited musical artist Nicki Minaj to the American U.N. embassy in New York to discuss the administration's efforts to protect Christians in Nigeria.

"[Nicki Minaj], thank you for using your platform to speak out in defense of the Christians being persecuted in Nigeria.

We cannot allow this to continue," Waltz posted on X. "Every brother and sister of Christ must band together and say, “Enough!”

If you ever find yourself in New York, come by the US Embassy to the United Nations. I would love to speak with you in more depth about what our administration is doing to protect Christians’ freedoms all over the world."

Minaj accepted the invitation, saying "I’d be honored. Thank you, Ambassador."

After President Donald Trump drew attention to the ongoing persecution of Christians in northern Nigeria and hinted at military action if the government failed to address the issue, Minaj expressed support for the administration's efforts.

"Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God.

No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion," she posted on X. "We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other."

"Numerous countries all around the world are being affected by this horror & it’s dangerous to pretend we don’t notice," she added. "

Thank you to The President & his team for taking this seriously.
God bless every persecuted Christian.
Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer."
