There’s growing Twitter war between Nigerians and African Americans over a series of tweets considered as offensive towards the Nigerian community.
It all started when Pop star Nicki Minaj was being trolled online for being associated with known sex offenders professionally and privately.
One day we’re gonna have the conversation about how fucked it is that Nicki Minaj is married to a sex offender, her brother is a sex offender and she keeps working with a *checks notes* sex offender. Like what the actual fuck

While a lot of African Americans did not support the idea, a Nigerian tweeted in support of the idea that Nicki Minaj should be cancelled for being associated with known sex offenders.
This tweet threw a lot of fire from African Americans and she was forced to delete it.
YES They need to learn, that’s what we should be looking at, THEY NEED TO LEARN AND NOT DISCRIMINATE, This whole thing started with an African saying Nicki Minaj is mid and receiving BLATANT DISCRIMINATION. But the Africans that replied should “grow up”.

This singular tweet attracted the anger of Nigerians on Twitter who unleashed their legendary savagery on the trespassing African Americans.
Several tweets accused the black Americans of racism toward proper Africans as if they didn’t share the same skin.

Others recounted their horror stories while they went to school with African Americans and how they look down on Africans.
Other really angry Nigerians insinuated that the lives of African Americans depended on the mood of police officers.
While others pointed out that they’re quick to kneel and scream ‘Black Lives Matter’ when they’re killed by their own police but look down on other Africans.

Black Americans don’t give a shit about Africans. The sooner you understand, the better.

Black Americans just don’t get it, you can’t hate the roots and love the branches of a tree….If you hate Africans, you hate yourselves!!!!
Maybe it should be changed to “Black American lives matter…”

I was there in Ghana last December, they were the ones doing “homecoming”, “finding my roots” but at the slightest, you’ll insult us? Bruh these people don’t even know 2 countries in Africa, they think AFRICA is a country 😂

i told someone that they see the “african american” as a vibe, it’s like wearing a shirt, but a gucci shirt, they want to be called african americans or black americans, but really do not want to associate with core africans, really pathetic

Imagine bragging about unlimited WiFi, when your neck could be used as a kneestool at any moment.

If you go there as an African, white people are going to treat you better than the "African Americans".
