Nicki Minaj Rips Joy Reid To Shreds Over Vaccine Side Effects

Now that months have passed since the rollout of the COVID shots, side effects are starting to take center stage as more and more people are speaking out about adverse health issues following getting them.

A rapper by the name of Nicki Minaj skipped the Met Gala due to their requirement for proof of vaccination. Her reasoning has to do with the reaction a friend of a relative had.

the rapper wrote:

“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.”

This is vaccine skepticism at its finest, and, unfortunately, not an uncommon occurrence despite the Centers for Disease Control protesting that it just does not happen. Fertility clinics are reporting it does, and sperm aren’t swimming, either. That is in addition to millions of women who have menstrual issues after the shots which prompted a study recently.

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 & face. Not that loose one 🙏♥️

Joy Reid of MSNBC didn’t like the way the rapper expressed her skepticism.

Reid said she was done hand-holding and begging unvaccinated people who do “research on Tik Tok” to get the shot.

“People like Nicki Minaj, you have a platform that’s 22 million followers. I have 2 million,” Reid said.
“For you to use your platform to encourage our community to not protect themselves and save their lives, my God, you could do better than that. It’s a blessing. It’s a blessing that you got that. That people listen to you and they listen to you more than they listen to me,” she said.
“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! As a hip-hop fan, as somebody who is your fan, I’m so sad that you did that. So sad that you did that, sister. Oh, my God. Lord.”

Minaj fired back in quick order.

“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 a– on tv a min after a tweet to spread a false narrative about a black woman,” Minaj tweeted.

In school, it was well known not to get between two black girls during a fight. That applies here as well.
