Nicki Minaj, a well-known rapper, has been vocal about her criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former White House COVID-19 advisor. Recently, she shared a satirical video and series of social media posts following his Senate testimony.
Fauci’s Senate Testimony
Dr. Fauci appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, where he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during questioning about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The hearing followed the release of Fauci’s pandemic-era diary by Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul.
Minaj’s video, filmed in near darkness, features her impersonating Fauci writing in a diary. The jokes quickly turn into criticism of Fauci’s pandemic leadership, with Minaj stating, ‘Never mind that I sent millions of children back years on their education … the elderly are alone and afraid, dying by themselves.’ She also delivers a final jab, saying, ‘If anyone asks questions, me and my gang ruins their lives.’
Minaj’s Social Media Posts
Minaj continued to criticize Fauci and COVID-19 policies in a series of posts on X. She mocked the government’s COVID-19 booster recommendations and blamed Fauci for lasting emotional and societal damage. Minaj also shared an AI-generated image of Fauci in a ’90s-inspired bedroom, writing in a diary.
The posts drew both praise and backlash, with some supporters agreeing with Minaj’s criticism of Fauci and others criticizing her for spreading ‘baseless vaccine claims’ and ’embarrassing herself’ by speaking about public health.
