Candace Owens Defends Nicki Minaj After Rapper Receives Backlash For Tweets On COVID-19 Vaccine
Controversial commentator Candace Owens is speaking out to defend Nicki Minaj.
Owens joined “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Tuesday to support Minaj after the rapper publicly shared why she’s holding off on taking the vaccine. As we previously reported, in a series of tweets, Minaj revealed that she tested positive for COVID-19 and wasn’t able to attend the VMAs or the Met Gala. While explaining that, the entertainer tweeted about her cousin’s friend who allegedly became impotent after receiving the coronavirus vaccine and urged her followers to “pray on it” before jabbing themselves and avoid being “bullied” into it. Despite that, Minaj said she will eventually get vaccinated but only when she’s done enough research.
MSNBC host Joy Reid later slammed Minaj’s skepticism on “ReidOut,” saying “she can do better than that.” Owens reacted to all the controversy surrounding Minaj on Tuesday and said she believes the left is trying to silence her: “These are the people, by the way, that when they’re running, they go around and get [celebrities] to endorse them,” she said. “They try to get them to speak on behalf of them and Nicki Minaj is not playing that game.” She added,
“At the end of the day, what they actually think – the Democrats – is that these people are stupid,” she said. “They like to come around every four years for the votes but at the end of the day, they think Nicki Minaj and all rappers are very stupid. And Nicki Minaj, right now, is proving them otherwise. She’s not afraid.”
Owens went on to sound off even more and suggested that Minaj “accidentally stumbled upon the ministry of truth” by challenging the party that wishes to shut down anyone who asks questions. Even so, she said the left is playing a “dangerous game.”
“[This] will likely create more vaccine hesitancy than before because they’re taking down someone that they love for no reason,” she said. “They’re exposing themselves to be what they are – the ministry of truth.”
