Nicki Minaj was a trending Twitter topic on Monday (September 13) after she revealed she previously had COVID-19 but was also unwilling to get vaccinated to attend the Met Gala, claiming she needed to do more “research.” She also noted traveling would put her at a higher risk for catching COVID-19, which she wouldn’t want to pass to her young son.
“They want you to get vaccinated for the Met,” she wrote. “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 backlash was swift, with one commenter writing, “Nobody is doing their own research. All you’re doing is finding someone to corroborate what you already believe. Unless you’re a scientist, running a peer reviewed study, you only know what you’ve been told by someone else. You don’t have better access to data than the CDC. You have Google and a flimsy grasp of science or logic.
“Give me a break with this ‘I did my own research’ bullshit. We have experts for a reason. You don’t know how anything works, let alone the human body at a cellular level. You don’t even know how your radio works, let alone the internet.”
Nicki Minaj later explained her Trinidadian cousin had a friend who became impotent after getting the vaccine, which deterred him from going down the same road.
“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.”
With that, “Not Nicki” also began to trend as people struggled with the Queen’s stance on the COVID-19 vaccine.
“Not Nicki being anti-vax cause her cousin’s friend got an STD and lied saying it was due to the vaccine,” one person wrote, while another said, “Do my own research” people: There’s a difference between ANECDOTES and research. Facebook is not research. A thirdhand story from Nicki Minaj’s cousin is not research. Scientific research is peer reviewed and contains statistics. Oh why the fuck am I bothering? We are doomed.”
Nicki Minaj Reveals She Had COVID-19 Which Cratered Her MTV VMAs Appearance
As additional topics such as “Onika” and “Barbz” started to trend as well, people marveled at the Barbz’s perceived inability to defend her statements. But Nicki remained adamant her comments were being taken out of context. She later tweeted she would likely have to get vaccinated to tour.
“A lot of countries won’t let ppl work w/o the vaccine,” she said. “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.”
Even so, there were no shortage of comments wondering where some of the typically diehard Barbz were to defend Nicki.
Check a few of them out below.
murderer. where is your cousin.
Leftists are obsessed with forcing everyone to get vaccinated. My body governments choice lol
You are white dude. Leftists lmao go wave your proud boys flag faggot
This is in fact a distraction from her husband’s legal case, everyone talking about this instead of that
Lol doing research but can’t speak English well. Everybody who don’t know what the Fuck they talkin bout got a cousin to back them on the facts Lmaoo. Now dance around this bullshit, rich bitch Lmaoo
So this site promotes LGBTQ and the vaccine. This is hiphop. Wow.
This site used to be black owned. They sold it to white people so that why were getting nonsense like this. I wouldn’t hold this website to a high standard for representing hiphop or any form of black culture.
your cousin who got fucked up by his own people. where is he. why did he have to die. that ghey track champions.
We seeing through the bs. This could of been tied to the other post. We still support Nicki regardless
that’s how the the fukin machine boxed us in. Everybody saw this coming: ‘vaccinate or no entry’ muthafukers didn’t again … #SlaughterTheBeastNow LoL!
No one is bothered by this. I’d worry about making this site as relevant as your gunit days, hehe
Lol
People are just obsessed with forcing other people to bend to their will and crucifying anybody who doesn’t. It’s just a power trip. If you have the shot than your relatively safe, even if you do get COVID there will be a high chance it’s minimal, so if somebody else wants to be a conspiracy theory idiot and not take it, that’s on them. It’s the same way I feel about people who smoke newports – I’m not dumb enough to join you but I’m not arrogant enough to think I have the right to make you stop, and I’m not going to lead a lynch mob on twitter over it. The world would be a better place if everyone stayed out of each others private business.
This is all about the healthcare system. It’s being stretched too much by these unvaccinated Covid patients. If they would keep their a$$ home there would be no mandates. A lot of these people have no insurance and can’t even pay for the hospital stay. The healthcare system is breaking. Your freedom and choice is to not get vaccinated and possibly get sick and die. So stay home and ride it out!….. these are somebody else’s words. I just copied and pasted cause I was saying the same thing you were.
She’s Retarded
After goin to her twitter pge I absolutely agree. Wow.
This the same woman that married and had a baby for a pedophile, what would you expect?
Getting this vaccine is poison. I hate this girl so I’m not sticking up for her but there is a reason why work places are giving out gifts vacation days and some states bags of weed to get this. It’s a joke and bad for your body.
Hope it kills you bitch
I’m not even a Nicki fan but, imagine being so miserable that you wish death on someone with a different opinion. Guess you bought into the “patience is wearing thin” speech from our grandpa in chief.
uht gtf
Here’s a novel idea. If there was really something to it they will put it in salt, sugar, soda or water. Then you would have no idea. That would be a real conspiracy. Modern-day medicine is just pointing out the hypocritical dumbasses who believe Facebook and a couple Google searches over facts.
These are the same people who know the exact origins and production processes for their favorite weed strain and alcohol. Just stop it.
Imagine being such a loser your life revolves around reporting on real talent on twitter lol.. some ppl are so attached they dont see how sad their lives really are
The same people are still doing their own research on if seatbelts save lives. Welcome to America where you have the right to be as dumb as you’d like…
She got some nice titties, dawg…
So you didn’t die of Rubella because you did your own research? No it’s because you got vaccinated as a kid just like we all did.
Riddle me this why are people that are vaccinated so worried about people that are not. If you believe in your vaccine so much ..what are you worried about? You won’t be sick right or feel as bad? Or yall just want to feel good that someone made the same decision as you..a vaccine normally takes years to make but yall avoiding that fact and if you really did your research you will see this current roll out is still considered a clinical trial which they should be doing in labs with volunteers which is phase 1 and checks for the efficacy of the vaccine ..phase 2 is after the clinical trials and they come back with a more effective dose which might be considered the booster shot..this roll out is a shit show …and in real lab testing they also give volunteers placebos unknowingly to see the reactions compared to people who took a real vaccine so keep that in mind..but a simple research into this you’ll see this including Polyethylene a plastic substance…yall be safe tho
Titties, dammit!
Yeah but 100l silicone in your tits and ass is not toxic!
Just vacinate those tits man! Let her body die! Damn
You sound smart, but.
People who have done the research know that the Coronavirus family was researched well over a decade ago. This is a new strain from the same family. The previous research still applies. Also, the vaccines are based off of the current flu vaccine make-up. This too has decades of research.
I get what you’re saying when you need to have multiple studies. However the wheel isn’t being reinvented here. Completely new methods need longer testing than those that are already available. The level of scrutinyisn’t even close. I’m sure that most of the things you consume in your day-to-day routine more than likely have less research and testing done on it. Case in point if you eat fruits and vegetables pesticides are present. If you say, well I only eat organic, I say to you to do your research. Pesticides are common in organic foods. What isn’t common is for them to list it for consumers. Not only that but rat poop in small quantities is okay as well. Do you like shrimp? Less than 8% of our approximately 70% of imported shrimp is deemed safe. So, we only inspect no more than 10% a a policy. Do you want to eat our BP oil spill contaminated shrimp? Or would you rather eat the imported variety where 90% or more of the tested shrimp fails the toxicity and contamination tests. Don’t take my word for it just Google why is it good idea to stop eating shrimp. Over 160 separate antibiotic resistance stains of bacteria.
Lastly, vaccines don’t cure anything. Vaccines substantially lower the risk of contracting as well as lowering the risk of severity of whatever the vaccine is meant to protect.
Not to mention the data that is available on the CDC is jarring when compared to other vaccines.
I actually thought the people that are most worried are the ones that had the vaccine…… So stupid and dumb!!!!
Ain’t nuthin wrong wit Nicki stance. Everybody got they own journey to arrive at a decision. People shud focus on they own instead of worrying bout sumbody else.
Her stance is the second most popular stance, and it’s probably the most steadfast. I question why every media outlet is forcing some weird perspective about people who are cautious about the vaccine.
This bitch is just stupid and the people who follow her are stupid as well. She has an issue with the vaccine but she had no issues with putting all kinds of plastic shit & chemicals inside of her body. Fuck outta here.
Can we state the obvious snd call out this ruse distract us from her rapist hubby?
