Nicki Minaj this week over her infamous tweet last year connecting the COVID-19 vaccine to impotency. On Feb. 16, the "Moment 4 Life" singer cryptically tweeted, "Nothing like watching someone speak confidently about something they know nothing about."Nicki didn't explain what her message was pertaining to, but the Philadelphia Public Health Department saw her tweet as an opportunity to pounce and throw one of her old messages back in her face. Back in September 2021, Nicki caused quite the stir over her position on the COVID-19 vaccine, and it had to do with, among other things, her cousin's friend's testicles and a canceled wedding. "My cousin in Trinidad won't get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent," she wrote.
