Minaj remained irritated after reporters attempted to contact members of her family as well as the friend of her cousin, who she said “became powerless” after receiving a vaccination against Covid.

“His testicles became swollen,” she wrote last week. “Her friend was a few weeks away from getting married, now the girl has called off the wedding. So just pray over it and make sure you’re comfortable with your decision, not intimidated.

Reporters, of course, went looking for the man she identified – and Minaj fired back.

“Sharlene Rampersad B *** H YOUR DAYS ARE F ***** G NUMBERED YOU DIRTY HOE,” she wrote on Instagram, in addition to posting screenshots of the journalist’s attempts to contact her friends and family. Minaj also shared Rampersad’s phone number and picture, as well as Fielding’s business card.
