“Our media and public health officials didn’t like this because they make their livings bullying people. So they couldn’t let it stand!”
On Wednesday Nicki Minaj has continued to infuriate the establishment by openly talking about her concerns over getting vaccinated.
It began with the star lashing out against Joy Ann Reid for trying to publicly shame her for wanting to do her own research. She has a kid at home and couldn’t attend the Met Gala bash because of the vaccination requirements it entailed for entry.
Now it’s escalating. Even after Anthony Fauci of the Biden administration tried his hand at reprimanding her.
Within the past hour Trinidadian rapper and international sensation Nicki Minaj agreed with the commentary of Tucker Carlson on Fox News over her dispute with the media over the topic of vaccine mandates.

In the tweet itself from Minaj she simply shares an emoji of a dart hitting the bullseye of a standard-issue target.
Here’s what Carlson said: "Even though he’s fine, it’s Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend's testicles who are swollen from taking the vax. That’s the claim. But it’s not anything to do with the physical effect of the vaccine that makes our political class mad, it’s the last part of Nicki Minaj’s tweet that enrages them. The part where she says "you should pray on it, make the decision yourself like a free human being and don’t be bullied." So our media and public health officials didn’t like this because they make their livings bullying people. So they couldn’t let it stand!"
The situation in itself seemingly soured Ms. Minaj to the so-called mainstream media reporting on her.
But the replies to Minaj’s tweet are of sheer panic that she’s approving of what Tucker Carlson said on his show.
"you know he's a white nationalist right?"

"Oh Nicki, you think Fox News on the right side of this? I used to respect your talent and hustle, but peddling vaccine misinformation "just asking questions" is something I can’t forgive. Take the L sis and move on."

This was Minaj’s response in the last few minutes to all that.
You know how many US Presidents were white supremacists? Oh please. Just stay on topic. Y’all can’t do that. The topic is: asking questions is OK. but let’s make the topic: Nicki talks to white racists so that you can all sleep better tonight. Dummies
