Nicki Minaj drew backlash this week after publicly expressing gratitude to Donald Trump for drawing attention to his claims that Christians in particular are being targeted in Nigeria. On Saturday, November 1, the “Starships” rapper took to X to share a screenshot of Trump’s Truth Social post announcing that his administration had designated Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” due to the alleged “mass slaughter” of Christians at the hands of “radical Islamists” in the West African nation.
