nicki minaj might have been loud and wrong.
allegedly,
her cousin in trinidad had an interesting side effect due to the vaccine.
she spoke out about it,
and her hesitance because of her own testicles apparently,
in a tweet:

the trinidad health minister,
terrence deyalsingh,
had this to say in a statement via cnn

instantly,
i felt a fear come over me.

“Is this it?
Is this the call?”

mi has been on my mind lately.

I Had My Male Cousin Before You Did (HOE!)

i could see myself being in a long term relationship with twink god.
i use to be confused by him,
but he is actually very charming.
i bet he would shoot someone’s tires out for me.
