It isn’t uncommon for blogs to propagate false narratives about celebrities, it is uncommon however for global media broadcasters to perpetuate the narrative and further slander the individual without uncovering the truth.
Nicki Minaj found herself at the center of controversy after a snippet from a September 13 Twitter conversation with fans explaining her absence from the 2021 VMAs and Met Gala started trending as when major blogs posted an article eluding that Nicki was using her platform to spread anti vaccination discourse.
It further blew out of hand when a host on MSNBC Joy Anne Ried joined the train slamming Minaj and added her two cents saying that Minaj is using her platform to bring individuals closer to death. This article and narrative grew so big that even Piers Morgan and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson entered the chat. With Piers joining the hate train.
However, if these figureheads had done any reading at all they would realize that it was a series of tweets at the end of which Nicki Minaj actually encouraged fans to get vaccinated because she herself would be taking the vaccine. Here’s the Twitter thread in sequence.
Love u babe. I was prepping for vmas then i shot a video & guess who got COVID? Do u know what it is not to be able to kiss or hold your tiny baby for over a week? A baby who is only used to his mama? “get vaccinated” Drake had just told me he got covid w|THE VACCINE tho so chile https://t.co/wInXoJcHBn

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 🙏♥️

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

I know babe. A lot of countries won’t let ppl work w/o the vaccine. 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. https://t.co/7SK5Df0yBf

No one was really surprised when Piers Morgan decided to chime in, the man enjoys bullying women, black women especially remember Meghan Markle… It was Joy Anne Ried’s two cents that had fans taken aback especially when the good sis back in 2020 tweeted to her 2M followers her distrust of the vaccine and didn’t bother to read the article beyond the head and under the guise of being a Nicki fan and hip-hop fan used that time to bring her down.
But Nicki had time today and didn’t hesitate to answer to those spreading false narratives about her.
