The rapper has some words of her own for the PM
Nicki Minaj has wasted no time responding to comments Boris Johnson made during today’s Covid briefing regarding her recently-revealed anti-vax views.
The star took to Twitter to label the Prime Minister’s words a ‘diss’ and fire back with an audio note offering to send him some of her music.
Minaj, 38, came under fire earlier this week when she shared a tweet saying that she wouldn’t be attending the Met Gala because it required attendees to be vaccinated and the vaccine had apparently caused her cousin to become impotent after his testicles had swollen.
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

When quizzed about her comments during today’s winter Covid briefing, England’s Chief Medical Officer, Chris Whitty, said she “should be ashamed”.
Meanwhile Prime Minister Johnson added: “I’m not as familiar on the works of Nicki Minaj as I probably should be but I am familiar with Nikki Kanani, superstar GP of Bexley, who has appeared many times before you who will tell you vaccines are wonderful and everybody should get them.
“That’s why I prefer to listen to Nikki Kanani,” he concluded.
Not long after, Minaj started tweeting, sharing a clip of the moment with the caption: “I love him even tho I guess this was a diss? The accent ugh!”
I love him even tho I guess this was a diss? The accent ugh! Yassss boo!!!
