Rapper claims a relative's friend became impotent after receiving vaccination

Rapper Nicki Minaj has come in for serious criticism from England's Chief Medical Officer, over comments she made about Covid-19 vaccines.

Chris Whitty, says the comments claiming someone became impotent after receiving the vaccine, were unsubstantiated.

When questioned about the issue yesterday afternoon, the British Prime Minister said he wasn't as familiar with Nicki Minaj's work.

The star then put on a fake accent to reply on Twitter to the Prime Minister’s assessment of her:

“There are a group of people who’ve got strange beliefs… and they make their own choices”

But people who try to discourage others from taking life-saving vaccines “should be ashamed," Prof Chris Whitty says

The 38 year-old also responded to Piers Morgan's criticism.

The former TV host called her the "rudest little madam" - which is now included in Minaj's Twitter bio.

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.

Yesterday the mother of one said she was hesitant about getting vaccinated.
