Nicki Minaj is unleashing on MSNBC’s Joy Reid for being “so thirsty to down another black woman,” after the TV host lectured the rapper for her COVID-19 vaccine skepticism.
Minaj’s expletive-laden rant in opposition to Reid was posted to Twitter Monday evening after the rap star wrote about her hesitancy to get the shot amid Met Gala requiring proof of vaccination.
“They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. If I get vaccinated it won’t for the Met. It’ll be once I feel I’ve done enough research. I’m working on that now. In the meantime my loves, be safe. Wear the mask with 2 strings that grips your head & face. Not that loose one,” Minaj tweeted.

In a follow-up tweet, the rapper wrote: “My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied.”
They need you to get vaccinated for the Met. if I get vaccinated it gained’t for the Met. It’ll be as soon as I really feel I’ve completed sufficient analysis. I’m engaged on that now. In the meantime my loves, be secure. Wear the masks with 2 strings that grips your head & face. Not that unfastened one 🙏♥️

Minaj’s vaccine skepticism didn’t sit properly with the MSNBC host, who devoted a portion of her present “The ReidOut” to rail in opposition to the rapper and accuse her of not selling the shot to her 22 million Twitter followers.
Reid mentioned she was completed hand-holding and begging unvaccinated individuals who do “research on Tik Tok” to get the shot.
“People like Nicki Minaj, you have a platform that’s 22 million followers. I have 2 million,” Reid mentioned.

“For you to use your platform to encourage our community to not protect themselves and save their lives, my God, you could do better than that. It’s a blessing. It’s a blessing that you got that. That people listen to you and they listen to you more than they listen to me,” she mentioned.
“For you to use your platform to put people in the position of dying from a disease they don’t have to die from, oh, my God! As a hip-hop fan, as somebody who is your fan, I’m so sad that you did that. So sad that you did that, sister. Oh, my God. Lord.”
Minaj then turned on Reid in a sequence of profanity-laden tweets that accused the TV host of mendacity, spreading a false narrative and attempting to “down a black woman.”
“This is what happens when you’re so thirsty to down another black woman (by the request of the white man), that you didn’t bother to read all my tweets. ‘My God SISTER do better’ imagine getting ur dumb a– on tv a min after a tweet to spread a false narrative about a black woman,” Minaj tweeted.
The rapper then dragged up an undated tweet from Reid that questioned how individuals may belief the FDA and CDC concerning the vaccine, in addition to 2018 reviews during which the TV host was revealed to have written homophobic weblog posts.
“A lying homophobic c–n. I guess I can join in the reindeer games too right? Ppl can go on tv & lie on me, I can report on them, too right? Smiling face. Doesn’t have to be truths. It can be half truths. Uncle Tomiana asked who on earth would trust the US FDA guys…,” Minaj tweeted.
Reid hasn’t publicly responded to being placed on blast by Minaj.
