Is Nicki Minaj antivax?

This is the question that has stirred social networks since the singer's last astonishing statements on Twitter.

The star has in fact refused to go to the Met Gala, which took place on Monday, in order not to submit to the health protocol of the event, which required to be vaccinated.

“They want you to be vaccinated for the Met.

If I get the shot, it won't be for the Met.

It will be when I have done enough research.

I'm working on it right now, ”she posted during the day.

To add to the anger of some fans, the interpreter of

Super Bass

had relayed a fake news on the covid. “My cousin in Trinidad does not want to be vaccinated because his friend has had it and has become impotent. His testicles swelled. Her friend was a few weeks away from getting married, but the girl called off the wedding. So pray and make sure you are comfortable with your decision, without being intimidated, ”she wrote.

Many internet users reacted immediately by telling him that these symptoms were not part of the side effects of the vaccination and that his cousin's friend had probably contracted an STD rather than covid.

Molecular biologist Dr. Raven Baxter even offered to help him understand the different vaccines available.

"If you want to speak with a scientist and fan about the vaccine, I'd love to talk to you!"

Lots of love… and take care of yourself, ”said the scientist.

Already sick

One could have imagined Nicki Minaj more reasonable insofar as she herself was a victim of covid. The star said she caught the virus while preparing for MTV's Video Music Awards last week. She had also canceled her participation in the event at the last moment. “I was getting ready for the VMAs, then I shot a video and guess who got the covid? Do you know what it is like not being able to kiss or hold your little baby for more than a week? A baby who is only used to his mom? “Said the artist, mother of a one-year-old baby.

Despite all these statements, Nicki Minaj has spent the evening denying being opposed to the vaccine and she now says she is ready to accept the injection.

She therefore began her "research" ... by launching a survey of her community of fans.

“Which vaccine would you recommend?

Come on, it's #QueenRadio time.

Talk to me, ”she ended up posting in the evening.

Small reminder: if you are looking for medical advice, ask your doctor.
