She then called for urgent international action during a United Nations event hosted by United States Ambassador, Mike Waltz, on Tuesday.

Minaj, 42, whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, made this known at a UN event in New York, United States of America.

After an invitation from the Trump administration, Nicki Minaj gave a speech at the United Nations headquarters calling for ‘urgent action to defend Christians in Nigeria.’

Earlier this month, the US leader said he would send troops into the country if Abuja did not protect the religious community.

Minaj further stated that calling for an end to the genocide against Christians in Nigeria did not amount to taking sides, but standing up against injustice.
