Nicki Minaj went on a 14 minute long Instagram live and slammed the White House after they claimed that the singer had not been invited for a visit.
Rapper Nicki Minaj came under fire for revealing her reasons for skipping the Met Gala 2021. Minaj, who has also revealed she has tested positive for COVID, went on a Twitter rant, claiming she wouldn't go to the event because they demanded all their attendees to be vaccinated. The rapper further claimed that her cousin's friend in Trinidad got a side effect from the covid vaccine and was left impotent. Top US infectious diseases experts Dr Anthony Fauci and Trinidad's health minister debunked the rapper's claim.
Nicki Minaj via her Twitter shared that she had been invited to the White House for a discussion about the vaccines. A spokesperson of The White House later said that it offered Nicki Minaj a phone call with medical experts, not a visit. Minaj went on Instagram Live to vent in a 14-minute rant after the White House denied her claim that she was invited there to discuss the COVID-19 vaccines after she tweeted unsupported claims about the shots' potential side effects.
Nicki Minaj slams White House
The White House has invited me & I think it’s a step in the right direction. Yes, I’m going. I’ll be dressed in all pink like Legally Blonde so they know I mean business. I’ll ask questions on behalf of the ppl who have been made fun of for simply being human. #BallGate day 3 https://t.co/PSa3WcEjH3

The rapper went live on her Instagram and said, "Do you think I'd go on the internet and lie about being invited to the White House? You know what the request was? 'We'd like to offer Nicki an invitation to come to the White House to speak with two people'." Minaj went on to say that she was invited to visit and talk to Dr. Fauci and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. She said, "And do you know what I said? I said, 'Well, I would rather not have to travel. Can we do a Live? And they said they're open to me choosing a platform to do a Live. But they have never taken that off the table for me to come to the White House."
