The reporters Minaj doxed were trying to verify her claims that a friend of her cousin had indeed suffered swollen testicles after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding. My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent.

Minaj’s explosive week started when the rapper said she wasn’t going to the Met Gala because attendees need to be immunized and she would only get the jab after she had “done enough research.” She then explained her vaccine hesitancy by sharing a bizarre second-hand tale from a cousin back home. Petty might be facing 10 years in prison for his failure to register for a conviction in 1995 of attempted first-degree rape. Four days before Minaj announced that she wasn’t going to the Met Gala because she wasn’t ready to get vaccinated, her husband, Kenneth “Zoo” Petty, pleaded guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in California. It’s also possible, Reynolds said, that Minaj was using the international furor over her vaccine opinions to distract attention away from her sex offender husband’s legal problems. “Her attempts at lashing out against detractors and naysayers are just a callous power play to get back in the press by any means necessary,” Reynolds added. Of course, unleashing her millions-strong army of fans on journalists or anyone else who criticizes her is “all a part of what Minaj does when she feels like her supremacy is under attack,” wrote Jezebel writer Megan Reynolds. It could be that she was getting tired of being ridiculed for what she herself dubbed “#BallGate.” There’s also a sense in some circles that she may have realized she crossed a line by posting the reporters’ phone numbers.īoth Instagram and Twitter removed her threatening posts, and The Guardian condemned her attempts to intimidate one of its reporters by activating her fans, known as “barbz,” to harass the reporter online, according to the Trinidad Guardian. It’s hard to say why Minaj has retreated from social media. She specifically posted screenshots of the reporters’ personal contact information. Her last posts on Instagram were Friday, when she employed Instagram Story to lash out at two reporters who were apparently attempting to contact some of her family members in her native Trinidad and Tobago. The rapper, always active, outspoken and engaging with her fans on social media, last used her Twitter account on Wednesday. Nicki Minaj has retreated into an uncharacteristic silence following a frantic week in which her claims about “swollen testicles” and skepticism of the COVID-19 vaccines seized the attention of the White House, global health officials, Tucker Carlson, QAnon and pretty much everyone else.
