Nicki Minaj was not present at the Met Gala on Monday because she has not yet been vaccinated against the corona virus. According to her, a friend of her cousin’s had swollen testicles after his corona vaccine, and is now impotent. There is no link between the vaccine and swollen testicles or impotence, so her statements have been criticized a lot. “She’d better think twice.”

American rapper Nicki Minaj tweeted disinformation about the side effects of the corona vaccine. She wrote that when a friend of her cousin’s in Trinidad (located in the southeast corner of the Caribbean Sea, ed.) got the shot, his testicles swelled and he became impotent. Minaj then writes that her followers should think carefully about the corona vaccine and that she would rather do her own research first.
At the moment there is no link between the corona vaccine and the infertility or the swollen testicles that Nicki Minaj writes about, causing her tweet to stir. Terrence Deyalsing, the Health Minister in Trinidad, responded to the tweet in a press conference: “At this time, there are no reports of testicular swelling in Trinidad. We lost a lot of time because of her tweet.”
