Just hours after her widely debated comments about alleged attacks on Christians in Nigeria, American rap superstar Nicki Minaj has issued a new message, this time urging compassion and understanding toward Nigerian entertainers.
Minaj’s earlier remarks, made during an engagement in the United Kingdom, sparked intense conversations across social media. While some Nigerians accused her of portraying the country in a negative light by implying there was a “Christian genocide,” others applauded her for speaking on issues many avoid.
As the debates grew, Minaj’s fresh remarks now dubbed the “Nigerian artists appeal” added a new layer to the conversation. In a noticeably softer tone, the rapper shifted her focus to entertainers, urging fans to be more patient and less judgmental.
In a post shared on her official X handle, Minaj encouraged her global audience to approach Nigerian artists with empathy rather than criticism.
She wrote:
“My darlings, let’s utilize wisdom & compassion as it relates to our Nigerian artists. There are very logical reasons for most things when we look not to judge, but to comprehend.
That goes for every country & their artists. Let’s lift them up & continue to use wisdom.”
Her message resonated with many, who described it as a timely call for emotional balance amid growing online pressure placed on public figures especially Nigerian entertainers who often face harsh scrutiny.
Others interpreted her Nigerian artists appeal as a sign that Minaj is paying close attention to the dynamics within Nigeria’s vibrant but sometimes volatile entertainment scene.
