Nicki Minaj Faces Backlash After Revealing Unvaccinated Status
On Monday, Nicki Minaj revealed the reason she skipped the Met Gala was because the event required a COVID-19 vaccination. On Twitter, Minaj wrote, “They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. If I get vaccinated it won’t [be] for the Met. It’ll be once I feel I’ve done enough research.”
They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. if I get vaccinated it won’t for the Met. It’ll be once I feel I’ve done enough research. I’m working on that now. In the meantime my loves, be safe. Wear the mask with 2 strings that grips your head & face. Not that loose one 🙏♥️

The Twitter update stirred up much controversy among Nicki’s fans. Some were upset that Minaj had not yet gotten vaccinated long after it became available. Others were understanding toward Minaj’s predicament and her concern for her children.
However, the superstar rapper came under more fire for spreading misinformation about the vaccines. Minaj later tweeted about her “cousin in Trinidad” who refused to get the Covid-19 vaccine because of alleged side effects, such as impotence. Health officials agree that impotence is not commonly associated with the vaccine.
My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied
