Nicki Minaj dissed MSNBC host Joy Reid after the Democrat TV host criticized her for saying she was skipping the Met Gala because she’s unvaccinated.
Nicki, 39, recently sparked anger when she refused to get vaccinated after catching Covid-19 while shooting a video for Sunday’s MTV VMAs.
The mother of one said she was concerned about spreading Covid to her infant son if she got vaccinated. People who are vaccinated can still contract and spread Covid-19.
“They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. if I get vaccinated it won’t for the Met,” she tweeted.
“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. Not that loose one”.
Among the many responses to Nicki’s tweets was Joy Reid, the 52-year-old host of “The ReidOut.” She slammed Nicki for spreading “misinformation” to her 22 million followers.
She was outraged that Nicki promoted vaccine hesitancy in the Black community. More than 70% of Black people are unvaccinated due to fears of past medical abuse by the government.
Nicki responded by tweeting a link to Joy Reid’s video with the caption:
“The two white men sittin there nodding their heads cuz this uncle tomiana doing the work chile. How sad.”

3 lies in a row from huge news platforms. I cited my young child as why I didn’t want to travel. But notice how NONE of them mentioned that? Ask yourself why that was. pic.twitter.com/vQjorbKCCO

Can u please go live to clarify everything. This whole thing seemed so unnecessary. Please just consult your doctor and scientists. u have that access. Twitter polls aren't going to give you the right answers. I am saying this out of love. Please do your part to end the pandemic.

It’s always the men who always get away with stuff and also the black woman attacking another black woman unprovoked, this is why the media is a mess, i see why nicki doesn’t do a lot of interviews anymore
