The White House has offered Nicki Minaj the chance to speak with one of its doctors after the rapper expressed concerns about getting a COVID-19 vaccine in a series of viral tweets earlier this week.

In expressing her hesitancy earlier this week, Minaj tweeted that she had a "cousin in Trinidad" that became impotent after receiving a dose and that his "testicles became swollen."

Minaj's claim was quickly shot down by the Trinidad and Tobago Minister of Health, Terrence Deyalsingh. At a press conference, he said that the country had not received any reports of testicular swelling linked to vaccine use.

"What was sad about this is that it wasted our time yesterday, trying to track down, because we take all these claims seriously," Deyalsingh said, according to CBS News.

In an appearance on CNN, Dr. Anthony Fauci also disputed Minaj's claim.

"There's no evidence that it happens, nor is there any mechanistic reason to imagine that it would happen," Fauci said. "So the answer to your question is no."

Later on Wednesday, Minaj tweeted that she had been invited to the White House and "yes, I am going."

On Thursday morning, the White House clarified to The Associated Press, CNN and CBS News that it had not extended an invitation for Minaj to visit the White House. Instead, officials said that she had been invited to speak with Biden administration doctors who would personally address her questions about the vaccine.

Minaj has since been temporarily locked out of her Twitter account for violating the site's policy on COVID-19 misinformation. In an Instagram story on Wednesday, Minaj said she was in "Twitter jail" and that she "couldn't tweet."

Dr. Anthony Fauci debunked a controversial comment made by rapper Nicki Minaj on social media about the COVID-19 vaccine.

On Monday, the rapper made claims on Twitter that her cousin's friend got vaccinated against the coronavirus and has now become impotent.

"My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent," Minaj tweeted. "His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married. Now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied."

In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tuesday, Dr. Fauci said that claim is false.

“There’s no evidence that it happens, nor is there any mechanistic reason to imagine that it would happen," Fauci said. "So the answer to your question is no.”

According to its website, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there's "currently no evidence that any vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, cause fertility problems in women or men."
