Why Nicki Minaj Wasn’t At The MET Gala. (And No, The Vaccine Won’t Give You Swollen Testicles.)

Rapper Nicki Minaj is getting press for all the wrong reasons. The ‘Super Bass’ rapper has been vehemently anti-vax, even claiming on social media that her cousin’s friend has “swollen testicles” after taking the Covid-19 vaccine.

 

 

 

As the Met Gala kicked into high gear in NYC, Minaj tweeted that she wasn’t attending because of the vaccine requirement.

“They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. If I get vaccinated it won’t for the Met,” Minaj wrote. “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.”

Why is it important what one celeb thinks? With over 22 million followers, she has a great deal of influence.
