A former presidential aide, Reuben Abati, has stated that American rapper Nicki Minaj is seeking attention in response to her planned speech today at the United Nations (UN) regarding the allegations of Christian genocide in Nigeria.

He proposed that Nigeria should also feature Tiwa Savage on national television to represent the country simultaneously while Nicki Minaj speaks on Tuesday.

According to DAILY POST, in a joint effort, the US ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, and rapper Minaj are collaborating this Tuesday to draw attention to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

Waltz announced on X that he is utilizing Nicki Minaj’s extensive platform to highlight what he refers to as atrocities against Christians in Nigeria.

Nicki Minaj, who had previously criticized Nigerian leaders for their inaction regarding the killings of Christians in the country, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to participate in the event.

The speech by the singer and the ambassador concerning the alleged situation in Nigeria is set to take place on Tuesday in New York.

However, Reuben Abati believes that such a role is not suitable for the rapper. He commented on Arise News, “Nicki Minaj mentioned that she wants Americans to experience religious freedom. My response is that Nicki Minaj is a rapper from Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. She should focus on her Anaconda music, her rap music, and her Barbs.”

“In my opinion, she is seeking attention, even if she has been invited to this forum by a White House advisor and Michael Waltz.”

“I think we should also utilize our influencers here. If I were to offer a strategic suggestion, we should have Tiwa Savage on national television at the same time Nicki Minaj is speaking, allowing her to share her patriotic views about her country.”

“She should be free to express whatever she wants to say, as this is not a matter for individuals seeking attention and influence.”

“We can also have Tiwa Savage or other representatives defend their country, regardless of their beliefs.”
