MSNBC Host Joy-Ann Reid critiqued Nicki Minaj’s tweets about being unvaccinated on Monday’s episode of « The Reid Out, » and the rapper has responded with a series of tweets. Nicki Minaj shared on Twitter on Monday afternoon that she would not be attending the Met Gala, because she was not vaccinated against COVID-19. « 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, » Minaj wrote. The tweet has since gotten more than 37,000 retweets and 69,500 likes. Reid, who acknowledged that she is both a fan of Nicki Minaj and of hip hop, said on the show she’s disappointed the rapper used her platform of 22 million followers « to encourage our community to not protect themselves and save their lives. » « You’ve got that platform. It’s a blessing. It’s a blessing that you got that, that people listen to you, » Reid said. « And they listen to you more than they listen to me.
