Nicki Minaj went on an explosive rant on Tuesday (July 8), and she spent a portion of her time firing back at those who had previously criticized her 2021 comments surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine.
Minaj went viral on social media a few years ago after alleging that her cousin’s friend’s testicles became swollen as a result of the COVID-19 vaccine.
“Democrats attacked me over my cousin’s balls,” she began going after the left. “Remember? Let’s see if they have any thoughts on that DESIRAT pardon. Let’s see if they have any thoughts on brother billionaire never campaigning for Kamala even after Obama pleaded with the ‘brothers.’”
The Young Money rapper continued: “Isn’t this THEE ‘brother’?!??!! Thee one ‘brother’ who could’ve probably gotten the job done for yall?!?!!!! Welp. If the top brother in charge can leave yall hanging w/o repercussions then may everyone else leave you hanging as well. Hanging like my cousin’s friend’s balls.”
Minaj’s initial viral message was spawned out of the 2021 Met Gala, which mandated that all attendees of be vaccinated. “They want you to get vaccinated for the Met,” Minaj tweeted at the time. “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.”
She continued: “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.”
Minaj’s comments drew a ton of backlash on social media, and even Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, chimed in. “There’s no evidence that it happens, nor is there any mechanistic reason to imagine that it would happen,” he said at the time.
Democrats weren’t the only ones to feel the wrath of Minaj on Tuesday. She blasted Megan Thee Stallion and Roc Nation after their motion was denied by a federal judge to stop a lawsuit from a cameraman, who claimed he was forced to watch the “WAP” rapper have sex while on tour in Europe.
