One tweet by Nicki Minaj is being rejected this week.
The pop star said Wednesday she had been invited to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to discuss her latest tweets about coronavirus vaccines, but the White House responded that it had just offered her a phone call. After saying she had been blocked from her Twitter account by the same tweets, Twitter said she had not penalized her in any way. When he cited a second-hand story about the testicles of a friend of a cousin inflated as a result of a coronavirus vaccine, top public health officials in several countries said his claims were false.
A White House official told The Daily Beast: “As we did with other people, we offered a call with Nicki Minaj and one of our doctors to answer their questions about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine. “.
Doubling the ongoing controversy over the hesitation of the “Ballgate” vaccine, Minaj said Wednesday that he had even planned his dress for the occasion.
“The White House has invited me and I think it’s a step in the right direction. Yes, I’m going there. I’ll be dressed in all pink like Legally blonde so they know I mean business. I will ask questions on behalf of people who have been mocked for simply being human. #BallGate day 3 “, he tweeted.
The rapper looked like the tweet would be the last, at least for a while. He wrote via Instagram the same evening that he was in “Twitter prison” and that he could not post.
“I am in prison on Twitter everyone. I guess they didn’t like what he was saying for that blog. My poll would be “Asking questions is okay / I like to be silly”. Then boom. I can’t tweet, ”he wrote.
Twitter, however, said it had not imposed any penalties on him. The company said in a statement: “Twitter did not take any action to implement the account referred to.”
The alleged invitation to the White House arose from a headline announcement the pop star made earlier this week: he would not attend Monday’s Met Gala, which forced attendees to be vaccinated. She has not been vaccinated and, if she got the puncture, she tweeted, “she won’t [be] by the Met. “He said he would probably get vaccinated before going on tour.
He tracked down the admission with the justification he was waiting for until “I think I’ve researched enough,” which included a bizarre second-hand tale of a cousin.
“My cousin in Trinidad will not get the vaccine because his friend got it and became helpless. His testicles swelled. Her friend was a few weeks away from getting married, now the girl has canceled the wedding. Just pray for it and make sure you feel comfortable with your decision, that you don’t get intimidated, ”he wrote.
History set fire to social media with jokes and corrections that reached the highest levels of public health. Both Dr. Anthony Fauci and Trinity Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh responded: Their claims were false. Fauci said of impotence and swollen testicles: “There is no evidence to happen, nor is there any mechanistic reason to imagine what would happen.” Deyalsingh said the country’s health department found “absolutely no side effects or adverse events” that matched its history.
Before she was allegedly shut down on her Twitter account, Minaj spent much of Wednesday and the previous two days responding to praise and anger over the vaccine’s hesitation. Fans of Minaj, whom he refers to as “Barbz” after his own nickname “Barbie”, seemed divided by his skepticism and apoplectic by his subsequent alignment with a strange bedfellow: Tucker Carlson.
The Fox News host spent two nights covering the saga of Minaj’s cousin’s friend on his eponymous show, even urging the man to call it quits. The rapper tweeted a clip on Wednesday, calling Carlson’s segment a “bullseye” with an emoji. In the video, Carlson said: “It has nothing to do with the physical effects of vaccines that drive our political class crazy. It’s the last part of Nicki Minaj’s tweet that infuriates them, the part where he says you should pray about it, make the decision yourself as a free human being and “not be intimidated”. So our media and public health officials didn’t like that because they make their lives intimidate people, so they couldn’t stand it. ”
One fan wrote about Carlson: “Naur Nicki is a racist, white supremacist.”
The pop star responded, referring to MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid’s criticism of her tweets: “The black woman lied to me and made the ppl attack me. But I can’t quote this one. man who did the opposite. Well. F – K LI. YASSSSSSSWOOHOOOOOOOOOO happy now? Brain dead.
Twitch streamer Hasan Piker replied, “Do you know it’s a white nationalist right?”
Minaj responded defiantly: “It’s true. I can’t talk, agree, or even look at someone from a particular political party. PPPs are no longer human. If you’re black and a Democrat tells you to sink your marbles in your ass, you just have to do it. If another group tells you to look for that bus, stay there and kick yourself. “
