The Met Gala is back for the first time since 2019 and all of your favorite celebrities will be in attendance, except for Nicki Minaj.
Minaj revealed on Twitter that the reason she will not be attending this year’s, Met Gala.
“They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. If I get vaccinated it won’t be 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 two strings that grip your head & face. Not the loose one.”

However, fans are sharing mixed feelings towards Minaj’s reason. See what they had to say below.
nicki the vaccine doesn’t prevent getting covid, it prevents you getting serious symptoms. non vaccinated people are 11x more likely to pass away from covid than vaccinated

It doesn’t sound like she’s anti vax she just wants to do more research. I was the same way before I got it. I didn’t trust it but I did my research and then I got it. Blogs gonna drag this tho I can see it now

I TOLD THEM THAT THAT MAY BE WHY! I noticed that Nicki seems to be scared of covid and rightfully so. You ppl who want her to risk catching it just bcz you wanna see her dress up and interact with fake celebrities are weird

Nicki also admitted to catching COVID while shooting a music video.
Love u babe. 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 https://t.co/wInXoJcHBn
