Nicki Minaj claims Twitter has disabled her account and she's 'scared' in odd Insta live

Nicki Minaj has claimed Twitter has disabled her account after making a string of tweets about the Covid vaccine.

The 38-year-old rapper sparked backlash earlier this week after she revealed she had refused to get vaccinated to attend the Met Gala.

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

The next day, England's CMO Chris Whitty blasted anti-vaxxers who "should be ashamed" in a powerful response to her evidence-free "myth" about the jab.

And now, she claims the social media site has "blocked" her from sharing tweets with fans and that she's in " Twitter jail".

Alerting her fans, she wrote on her Story: "I'm in Twitter jail y'all. They didn't like what I was saying over there on that block, I guess. My poll was gonna be. Asking questions is OK. I like being fkng dumb. Then boom. Can't tweet."

Later going live on her Instagram, Nicki said: "I'll never go back on Twitter because it's starting to feel a little scary... what's happening now is that slowly but surely we're living n those places we used to talk about 20 or 30 years ago... we've become that place where you can't speak for fear of the mob attacking you...

"What am I doing that's so bad that you've disabled my twitter? I didn't put out any facts."

Tonight, Nicki claimed that she had been invited to Washington DC to ask questions and said that she would be "dressed in all pink like Legally Blonde so they know I mean business".

She tweeted: "The White House has invited me & I think it’s a step in the right direction. Yes, I’m going. I’ll be dressed in all pink like Legally Blonde so they know I mean business. I’ll ask questions on behalf of the ppl who have been made fun of for simply being human. #BallGate day 3."

It comes after Nicki baffled her fans by tweeting on Monday: "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."

The prime minister had later waded into the row during Tuesday's press briefing, saying: "I'm not as familiar with the works of Nicki Minaj as I probably should be, but I'm familiar with Nikki Kanani, superstar GP of Bexley who has appeared many times before you, who will tell you that vaccines are wonderful and everybody should get them.

"So I prefer to listen to Nikki Kanani."
