A Trinidad-based media company accused rapper Nicki Minaj of subjecting of its journalists to death threats after she called out an enterprising reporter who was allegedly "harassing" her family in Trinidad.
What is the background?
Minaj found herself the center of controversy, and accused of spreading COVID-19 vaccine misinformation, after claiming this week that a cousin in Trinidad has a friend who "became impotent" after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
Trinidad and Tobago Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh later called Minaj's claim "false."
What happened now?
Minaj claimed Friday that journalists were "harassing" her family, and revealed proof of unrelenting contact by one reporter in particular.
"Threatening my family in Trinidad won't bode well for you," Minaj wrote on Instagram, using the platform's "stories" feature. "They're forcing my family to have to hide out. This is what speaking up looks like. Millions of poor people are treated this way by the ppl you think are the 'good guys.' This is unconscionable."

But just letting you know, CNN is in the country looking for you. And when they find you, they won't hesitate to reveal where you live or where your [girlfriend] lives...anything and anyone who is tied to you. If you speak to me, we won't reveal those details. So, what do you say?"
