Nicki Minaj won’t attend the Met Gala because of its vaccination policy.

The 38-year-old rap star has revealed via social media how she contracted COVID-19 and confirmed that she’ll be absent from the fundraiser in New York, as she continues to “research” the vaccine.

Nicki – who has an 11-month-old son – wrote on Twitter: “I was prepping for vmas then i shot a video & guess who got COVID? Do u know what it is not to be able to kiss or hold your tiny baby for over a week? A baby who is only used to his mama? “get vaccinated” Drake had just told me he got covid w|THE VACCINE tho so chile. (sic)”

The rap star subsequently questioned the idea that the vaccine lessens the symptoms of the virus.

She wrote in reply to a follower: “Babe. That’s not true. I had the exact same symptoms as ppl with the damn vaccine. (sic)”

Nicki then confirmed that she won’t be attending this year’s .

The ‘Anaconda’ hitmaker also offered advice to her followers.

She wrote on the micro-blogging platform: “They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. if I get vaccinated it won’t for the Met. 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 [prayer and heart emojis] (sic)”

Nicki later claimed that her cousin’s friend became “impotent” after having the COIVD-19 vaccine.

She said: “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 (sic)”
