After rapper Nicki Minaj claimed that her Trinidad cousin's friend "became impotent" and his testicles were "swollen" after taking the COVID-19 vaccine, UK government's Chief Medical Advisor Chris Witty said her claims are "untrue". He further said that the claim was designed to "scare" people, adding that the rapper should be "ashamed" of herself for "peddling untruths" on social media.
