Professor Chris Whitty, Britain's Chief Medical Officer, has had a go at the rapper after she tweeted an unsubstantiated story about a man who had a COVID vaccine and then allegedly became impotent.
Speaking at a Downing Street news conference, Whitty said: "There are a number of myths that fly around, some of which are just clearly ridiculous and some of which are clearly designed just to scare". He criticized Minaj harshly saying she "should be ashamed."
As reported on Sky News he strongly berated "people that go around trying to discourage other people from taking a vaccine which could be life-saving or prevent them from having life-changing injuries to themselves".
He added, "Many of those people I regret to say will know they are pedaling untruths but they still do it,"
At the Downing Street briefing, Prime Minister Boris Johnson confessed to not being familiar with Minaj or her music – Minaj was quick to respond on Twitter posting a clip from the briefing and saying: "I love him even tho I guess this was a diss? The accent ugh! Yassss boo!!".
I love him even tho I guess this was a diss? The accent ugh! Yassss boo!!!
