She also claimed she stands 'for truth' after her friend told her Minaj and her boyfriend don't stand for her principal intentions. Minaj has recently come under fire for debunked comments she made about Covid-19 vaccine side effects. 'If I get vaccinated it won't be for the Met,' she wrote while claiming she was doing her own 'research.' On Monday, she revealed that she was unvaccinated and had opted not to attend the Met Gala because of its vaccination requirement for attendees. The hitmaker still recommended her fans continue wearing masks, however. Later, she revealed that she had also tested positive for Covid-19, which explained her absence at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. Minaj was widely mocked on social media after she described part of her hesitation about getting the vaccine to a story about a cousin's friend who developed 'swollen' testicles after supposedly getting the shot. 'My cousin in Trinidad won't get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen,' she claimed. So just pray on it & make sure you're comfortable with ur decision, not bulled.' 'His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding. Terrence Deyalsingh subsequently criticized the rapper for her false claims and because the health department had 'wasted so much time running down this false claim.'ĭeyalsingh added that no cases of impotence or swollen testicles had been reported following vaccination in Trinidad. The singer also recently claimed she was invited to the White House, which the Biden Administration has denied. The White House confirmed they offered her a call with a doctor to discuss her concerns. White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, told reported on Thursday at a press conference that it was in the 'early stages' and only a 'conversation' had been offered. 'If we believed that everybody who had skepticism about the vaccine wasn’t someone we should engage with or talk to, we wouldn’t have made the progress we’ve made,' Psaki said. Psaki did not know if the call would actually take place. McGowan recently took the spotlight when she campaigned for Republican Larry Elder in his attempts to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom, who resoundingly defeated the recall attempt. Over the weekend, she announced that she was no longer a Democrat, and during a campaign stop with Elder on Monday she said, 'Everybody who's systematically traumatized, terrorized, harassed, stalked and stolen from me, during my time in California and in Hollywood, has been a Democrat.'
