On Monday, Minaj tweeted that she would not be attending the 2021 Met Gala because the event required attendees be vaccinated against COVID-19.

"They want you to get vaccinated for the Met," Minaj said. "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."

Her tweets set off a firestorm of misinformation after she alleged her cousin's friend in Trinidad became impotent after receiving the vaccine and was left with swollen testicles and a ruined marriage. The CDC has previously debunked claims that the vaccines can lead to impotence among men or fertility problems in women.

Minaj's tweets garnered a response from Dr. Anthony Fauci, himself, who told CNN's Jake Tapper on Tuesday that it was a "resounding no" that vaccines cause reproductive issues.

The rapper said she would be dressed in all pink "like Legally Blonde so they know I mean business" when she visits the White House.

"I'll ask questions on behalf of the ppl who have made fun of for simply being human," she wrote.

In a followup tweet, she confirmed to one of her followers that she would be attending, saying, "I'm doing it babe."
