The party comes weeks after Nicki caused a media storm after her controversial comments about the Covid-19 vaccine.

She claimed her Twitter account was suspended because of her comments before saying she was "scared" in a strange Instagram video.

The accusations came after the songstress revealed she had refused to get vaccinated to attend the Met Gala.

She further shocked fans by peddling conspiracy theories about the vaccine, as well as sharing an odd story about her "cousin's friend" allegedly having a reaction to the vaccine.

Her comments provoked reactions from the likes of England's CMO Chris Whitty, who blasted anti-vaxxers and said they "should be ashamed" when discussing a "myth" about the jab.
