American rapper Nicki Minaj has called on celebrities, influencers and other public figures to speak out about violence against Christians in Nigeria.
Minaj, who said her Nigerian pastor had helped establish her connection to the country, noted that she also had many Nigerian fans, popularly known as Barbz.
“My pastor is from Nigeria, so I have a link to Nigeria because of him and I have a lot of Nigerian Barbz. Why isn’t anyone making a big deal out of the brutality in which Christians are being treated in Nigeria?” she said.
The rapper suggested that some issues receive little public attention because they are not considered popular topics of discussion.
“Sometimes when things aren’t cool to talk about, people just don’t talk about it,” she added, expressing hope that more celebrities, influencers and other prominent figures would speak about the situation.
