White House 'offered a call' to Nicki Minaj to answer queries about her COVID-19 vaccine concerns

The White House has offered to answer Grammy-nominated rapper Nicki Minaj's questions about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.

The 38-year-old artist took to Twitter on Wednesday and said that she had been invited to the White House after she posted controversial tweets earlier this week about vaccine side effects.

"The White House has invited me & I think it's a step in the right direction," she tweeted.

However, despite Minaj's tweet about a meeting, a White House official told People magazine that the administration reached out to her for public health education over the phone.
