“I believe it is important for me to make clear my support for the rights of women, the LGBTQ community and freedom of expression.”
Nicki Minaj has pulled out of a music festival in Saudi Arabia in support of LGBTQ and women’s rights.
The news also comes after the Human Rights Foundation called on Minaj and other Jeddah World Fest acts to pull out of the July 18 festival because of Saudi Arabia’s gender segregation laws. While women are now allowed to drive and attend public sporting events, there are other spaces where women and men are still segregated, in addition to anti-LGBTQ laws.
“This is what leadership looks like,” Halvorssen said. “We are grateful to Nicki Minaj for her inspiring and thoughtful decision to reject the Saudi regime’s transparent attempt at using her for a public relations stunt.”
