Throwback Times reports that the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, has extended an invitation to American rapper Nicki Minaj to visit the U.S. Embassy in New York, following her public support for former President Donald Trump’s recent statement on the “killing of Christians” in Nigeria.
In a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Ambassador Waltz praised Minaj for using her global platform to highlight what he described as the ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
> “@NICKIMINAJ, thank you for using your platform to speak out in defense of Christians in Nigeria,” Waltz wrote. “If you ever find yourself in New York, come by the U.S. Embassy to the United Nations. I’d love to speak with you about what our administration is doing to protect religious freedoms around the world.”
The invitation followed Trump’s declaration on Truth Social, where he labeled Nigeria a “country of particular concern.” The former U.S. president claimed that Christianity faces an existential threat in the country and warned that Washington could suspend foreign aid or consider military intervention if the alleged killings persist.
> “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the USA will immediately stop all aid and may go into that disgraced country ‘guns-a-blazing’,” Trump wrote.
In response, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu dismissed Trump’s comments as false and provocative, insisting that Nigeria remains ahead of America in managing its religious diversity and democratic values.
Reacting to Trump’s post, Nicki Minaj expressed gratitude to the former president, describing his stance as a bold defense of freedom of worship.
> “We don’t have to share the same beliefs to respect one another,” Minaj posted on X. “No group should ever be attacked for practicing their faith. Thank you to the President and his team for taking this seriously. God bless every affected Christian.”
