Nicki Minaj Goes at Don Lemon Over Criticism of People Refusing to Get Vaccine: ‘Def Has a Little Dick’

Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend’s purportedly swollen testicles may not have a part on 50 Cent’s new show, but they have certainly become an unfortunate mainstay in the current news cycle.

After Minaj’s recent sharing of vaccine-focused misinformation, including a bit about swollen testicles, the “Trollz” artist has been in a widely covered back-and-forth that’s once again revived a larger discussion about the importance of sharing accurate information, especially as a public figure.

And now, the ever-growing story continues with Minaj’s latest comments directed at CNN’s Don Lemon. As you may have seen, Lemon recently shared a passionate message about how those who are still not vaccinated are holding the rest of the country back. Linking the lack of logic in the anti-vaccination stance to the ideology found among those who followed former president Donald Trump’s false election claims, Lemon said it’s time to consider leaving such people behind.

“The people who are not getting vaccines, who are believing the lies on the internet instead of science, it’s time to start shaming them or leave them behind because they are keeping the majority of Americans behind,” he said.

On the topic of people who buy into conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 vaccine while ignoring the larger historic role vaccines, in general, have played, Lemon questioned this approach by bringing up other types of injections.
