Nicki Minaj trolls the media
Food inequality
It is impossible to separate food from politics. On the one hand there’s the impact…
On Monday, Nicki Minaj tweeted to her 22 million followers, trolling Piers Morgan, Chris Whitty and the BBC in the process. She said the vaccine had caused her cousin’s friend’s testicles to swell and make him “impotent”.
She made the tweets on the night of the annual Met Gala, which she would usually attend. However, New York City laws say that each attendant must have had at least one vaccination. Minaj has not received a jab yet.
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 🙏♥️

Professor Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer, said those spreading falsehoods about the vaccine “should be ashamed”. BBC Political Editor, Laura Kuenssberg, retweeted Minaj’s post, saying “2021 everyone” and Piers Morgan called her the “rudest little madam”.
Minaj responded to all three, mimicking the accents of Prime Minister and Boris Johnson’s press conferences; calling Laura Kuenssberg a “dumbo”; and calling Piers Morgan a “stupid piece of shit”.

Several tweets on Minaj’s page show that she is not an anti-vaxxer, but telling her followers to do their research before they get the vaccine. Minaj claimed the tweet about her cousin’s friend’s testicles was a joke.
Many people were quick to label Minaj an anti-vaxxer, but her previous tweets suggest otherwise.
I know babe. A lot of countries won’t let ppl work w/o the vaccine. I’d def recommend they get the vaccine. They have to feed their families. I’m sure I’ll b vaccinated as well cuz I have to go on tour, etc. https://t.co/7SK5Df0yBf
