Fauci scolded Nicki for her misinformation and continued on to tell her that her once-off incident does not qualify her to issue vaccine advice.

TMZ further reported that Nicki shared that she is aware of the effects of the virus as she came down with it not so long ago. She tweeted:

"They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. 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 grip your head & face. Not that loose one."
