On the night of the 2021 Met Gala, Minaj announced that she wasn’t attending because the event required her to get vaccinated. She claimed she was doing “research” before getting it, citing the fact that Drake had a breakthrough case of COVID-19 with the vaccine (which, as scientists have said, is expected and not a sign that the shots don’t work) as a factor in her skepticism.
More upsettingly, she then alleged that her cousin was also refusing to be immunized because his friend’s “testicles became swollen” after getting it and he “became impotent.” After many, many public officials were forced to address her cousin’s friend’s balls and correct this rampant misinformation, Nicki eventually confessed that she would probably get vaccinated before going on tour.
