Nicki Minaj puts the White House on full blast

In related news, Briefly News reported that Nicki Minaj has put the White House on blast after an official denied that they invited her after her Covid-19 vaccine comments.

Nicki has been trending the whole of this week after she revealed that she was hesitant to take the vaccine. She said she'll only consider taking it once she has done enough research about it. The superstar also claimed her cousin's friend's testicles got swollen after he allegedly took the vaccine.

The official said they offered to connect the rapper with a doctor to explain everything to her via a phone. Nicki caught wind of the official's comments and took to Instagram to hit back at the White House. She reiterated that she was indeed invited.

Complex reported that the musician claimed she even suggested that they do a Live because she did not want to travel. In her video, she added that they did not take the offer for her to join them at the White House off the table. Tweeps took to the publication's comment section on Twitter to share their thoughts on the story.
