It all started with a tweet...
(Picture: Getty Images)Since Nicki Minaj’s bizarre tweet on Monday about her cousin’s refusal to get the Covid jab after his friend’s testicles became swollen, things have certainly spiralled.
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

During a Downing Street press conference on Tuesday alongside Boris Johnson, Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty slammed the rapper saying she should be “ashamed” for discouraging others to get the vaccine.
The Prime Minister added he was not familiar with the works of Minaj and would much rather listen to medical advice from the likes of Nikki Kanani, the Medical Director of Primary Care for NHS England.
In an attempted comeback, the 38-year-old rapper jumped on Twitter in a humorous bid to reach Johnson using a British accent.
In Minaj’s voice note captioned, “send this to the prime minister & let him know they lied on me. I forgive him. No one else. Only him”, she said: “I thought you were so amazing on the news this morning.”
She continued to joke that she attended the University of Oxford, went to school with Margaret Thatcher, and how she’d love to send the Prime Minister a portfolio of her work – considering he doesn’t know much about her.

Just as you thought it couldn’t get any stranger – Piers Morgan entered the chat, of course.
“Professor Whitty beefing with the ghastly @NICKIMINAJ (one of the rudest little madams I’ve ever met) is not the breaking news that I expected today - but it’s most welcome. She’s peddling lies that will cost lives”, the ex-GMB presenter tweeted.
Minaj not only changed her Twitter bio to the “Rudest little madam” with a UK flag to mock Morgan but also responded: “Sir I’ve never met you. I know… we all look alike. “Rudest little madam”. I like it. Has a special ring to it.
“Thanks Pierce. Love the accent. I’d love to come chat. Scones. Tea. Clown nose & big red shoes for you. Lmk babe”.

The British journalist then claimed to have met Minaj on America’s Got Talent, where she allegedly “refused to say hello” to his “three young sons” because she was too busy, according to Morgan.
“Oh, and it’s ‘Piers’ - I know, we Brit names all sound alike”, he added.

“Stop fkng lying. I never turn down pics with kids. If a middle person told you that, they were out of line. don’t blame me you stupid piece of sh*t”, she raged.
The ‘Super Bass’ rapper proceeded to ask her 22 million followers whether Morgan had Instagram as she wanted to go on a live stream.
He gon make me go live. Chiiiiileeee. Does he have an ig. I wanna go live with him. ENOUGH UGLY! @pierce

In the process, she dragged a random unsuspecting man named “Pierce” into the Twitter drama, who hilariously responded:
“I get incorrectly tagged in a lot of wrong tweets but this one is going to be ... particularly bad”.
Oops sir 🤦🏽♀️ https://t.co/VjpyXauA94

If the situation wasn’t already strange enough, Minaj then took a pop at the BBC’s political editor Laura Kuenssberg, who quote retweeted the video of Whitty criticising the musician's comments with ‘2021 everyone.’
2021 everyone … https://t.co/rr5KGmfqsT
— Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) September 14, 2021
Minaj didn’t take too kindly to this and fired back at Kuenssberg by calling the journalist “dumbo.”
Yes 2021 when jack asses hang on to my every tweet but can’t decipher sarcasm & humor, and can’t read. Go away dumbo https://t.co/U95TwMEAM9
— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) September 14, 2021
Kuenssberg also retweeted a voice note that Minaj had posted of her impersonating a British accent.
And again .. https://t.co/KXCjAaKrFc

She wasn’t done there as she also called out US talk show hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel for making fun of her claims on their respective shows.
I never cited that as a reason I didn’t get vaccinated. The lie is so funny/entertaining tho. I’d say smthng mean to this lady but I rlly like Stephen Colbert. 😅 #SuperBalls https://t.co/DyvAXq40Mc

He’s willing to talk for the right price. I’m his manager. Call me, Jimmy 📱 https://t.co/1ZnnUZPPNZ

All we’ve gotta say is that it’s been one hell of a past 48 hours for Minaj. We just hope her cousin’s friend appreciates all the attention.
