Nicki Minaj's cursed vaccine tweets show celeb transparency is a slippery slope

It's always fun to think celebrities are just like us...until they act just like one of us. Last night, Nicki Minaj decided to be transparent with her fans about her vaccination status and ended up spreading harmful misinformation in a reprehensible manner.

In a series of tweets, Minaj admitted to having caught COVID-19 recently, revealed Drake was vaccinated when he was infected with COVID-19 himself, and that she couldn't attend the Met Gala because she isn't vaccinated. She only recommended vaccination for the people who won't be able to get a job due to being unvaccinated and affirmed she'll probably get vaccinated because of touring. She's presumably leaning towards vaccination for touring because the two biggest concert promoters in America, Live Nation and AEG, implemented policies around it. She stated she won't get the jab until she does "research," which apparently involves polling her nearly 23 million Twitter followers on the best vaccine, and sharing info about her cousin's friend's testicles.
