New York City — In a striking announcement, Nicki Minaj will deliver remarks at the United Nations Next Week in coordination with the Trump administration. According to TMZ, the Grammy-nominated rapper will join U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz at the U.N. headquarters in New York City to speak on behalf of the administration.
The session, described in the report as focusing on violence against Christians in Nigeria, marks a dramatic convergence of pop culture influence, global diplomacy and political messaging. The arrangement as reported was coordinated by Trump media adviser Alex Bruesewitz, who is also expected to participate in the event.
Minaj took to social media following the announcement, writing: “Ambassador, I am so grateful to be entrusted with an opportunity of this magnitude. I do not take it for granted. It means more than you know.” She added, “The Barbz & I will never stand down in the face of injustice. We’ve been given our influence by God. There must be a bigger purpose.”
The decision to position Minaj as a speaker for the U.S. delegation brings into sharp relief the evolving nature of political communications and cultural diplomacy. In recent weeks, Minaj has publicly aligned herself with Trump on issues of religious freedom and global persecution, including praising the administration for its threatening posture toward violence against Christians in Nigeria.
As the event draws near, observers will be watching closely to see how Minaj adapts her highly visible pop persona to the formal setting of the U.N., and how the administration frames the unexpected presence of a major entertainment figure in its official global outreach. Whether this move will amplify the administration’s message or reignite debate about celebrity diplomacy remains to be seen.
Stay tuned for the outcome of what may be one of the most talked-about U.N. addresses in recent memory.
