I don’t ‘go with the crowd’

Her anaconda don’t want to pick political sides.

Nicki Minaj addressed her controversial remarks about the COVID-19 vaccine in her Vogue December cover story published Thursday.

“I’m one of those people who doesn’t go with a crowd,” the “Super Bass” singer told the outlet. “I like to make my own assessment of everything without help from everyone.”

Back in 2021, Minaj, now 40, faced backlash when she expressed her wariness about getting the COVID vaccine in order to attend the Met Gala.

She claimed she wanted to do her own research about the newly developed vaccine, especially because her cousin’s friend allegedly experienced swollen testicles and became impotent after getting the jab in Trinidad.

However, authorities of the Caribbean nation quickly launched an investigation into Minaj’s wild claim and were unable to find anyone who had such a testicular reaction to the vaxx.

Twitter, now known as X, flagged the “Anaconda” rapper’s tweet as misinformation after she shared her thoughts with her 23 million followers, and Minaj claimed the platform prohibited her from posting any more by putting her in “Twitter jail.”

Still, Minaj’s remarks were praised by several right-wing outlets, including former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Despite their support, Minaj told Vogue she can not be influenced on which politicians to support or which stances to take.

“Every time I talk about politics, people get mad,” she claimed. “I’m sorry, but I am not going to be told who I should get on social media and campaign for.”

“There’s a lot we don’t know that’s going on in the government,” she added. “I don’t think it changes whether you lean to the left or right.”
