The rapper proposed that the government vaccinate people at these ‘super spreader’ events to prevent further transmission of the coronavirus.
The rapper said:
“Restaurants, Event Promoters, Sports Leagues ie “Mass Gatherers” ... have HUGE databases of people who are crying to be vaccinated just to continue those activities. GOVERNMENT should be working with these industries on the VAX ROLLOUT. TURN SUPER SPREADERS INTO SUPER VAXERS.”
Social media users did not hate his idea and some were actually all for it. Check out some of these reactions:
