Nicki Minaj Spars With Joy Reid Over Vaccine Tweets
Nicki Minaj fired back at MSNBC’s Joy Reid following her response to the singer’s tweets about the COVID-19 vaccine.
“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 and face. Not that loose one,” Minaj tweeted.
She added, “My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it and 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 and make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied.”

Reid blasted Minaj for using her platform to spread misinformation about the vaccine, saying, “For you to use your platform to put people in the position of dying from a disease they don’t have to die from, oh my God.”
She added, “As a fan, as a hip hop fan, as somebody who is your fan, I am so sad that you did that. So sad that you did that, sister. Oh, my God.”

Minaj responded, “This is what happens when you’re so thirsty to down another black woman (by the request of the white man), that you didn’t bother to read all my tweets. ‘My God SISTER do better’ imagine getting ur dumb ass on tv a min after a tweet to spread a false narrative about a black woman.”
She continued, “The two white men sittin there nodding their heads cuz this uncle tomiana doing the work chile. How sad.”
