Nicki Minaj VS BoJo: Rapper sends bizarre voice message to British PM over ...

Nicki Minaj has gone to war with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, sending him a bizarre voice note on Twitter after he blasted her for claiming the COVID-19 vaccine may cause impotence. 

The rapper, 38, posted a voice message for Johnson on Twitter Tuesday where she feigned an English accent and mockingly claimed she 'went to Oxford' and 'went to school with Margaret Thatcher'.

Her message for the PM came after he became the latest public figure to wade into the drama over a flurry of tweets sent out by Minaj where she questioned the safety of the vaccine - including one where she told her 22 million followers it had left a cousin's friend 'impotent' and with 'swollen' testicles.

Johnson condemned her comments and told reporters he would rather listen to NHS England's top GP Nikki Kanani about the 'wonderful' vaccine than the rapper.

The UK's Chief Medical Officer Chris Witty also slammed the star, who has not been vaccinated and revealed she has contracted COVID-19, for spreading an 'untrue' and 'ridiculous' myth about the shot.  

The saga first erupted when Minaj confirmed she would not be attending Monday night's hotly-anticipated Met Gala, which mandated only fully vaccinated people could attend.

The rapper revealed on Twitter that she had not yet taken the vaccine and said 'if I get vaccinated it won't [be] for the Met'. She also revealed she had tested positive for COVID-19 while prepping for the MTV Video Music Awards, causing her to skip that event Sunday. 

Her comments fueled a backlash from several media figures including DailyMail.com columnist Meghan McCain and MSNBC host Joy Reid - who Minaj then accused of being 'thirsty to down another black woman'.

Minaj took to Twitter moments after the interview with the British PM and chief medical officer aired, saying: 'I love him even tho I guess this was a diss? The accent ugh! Yassss boo!!!'

She then recorded an audio message for Johnson in a comedic British accent, tweeting: 'Send this to the Prime Minister and let him know they lied on me. I forgive him. No one else. Only him.'

In the audio, she says: 'Yes, hello Prime Minister, Boris, it's Nicki Minaj - I was just calling to tell you that you were so amazing on the news this morning.  And I'm actually British. I was born there. I went to university there. I went to Oxford. 

'I went to school with Margaret Thatcher. And she told me so many nice things about you. 

'I'd love to send you my portfolio of my work, since you don't know much about me, I'm a big, big star in the United States.'  

Johnson and Whitty had been asked about Minaj's comments during their joint press conference from Downing Street Tuesday afternoon. 

The PM responded saying he was 'not as familiar' with Minaj's comments and prefers to listen to a different Nikki. 

'I'm not as familiar with the works of Nicki Minaj as I probably should be,' he said.

'But I am familiar with Nikki Kanani, superstar GP of Bexley who's appeared many times before you, who will tell you that vaccines are wonderful and everybody should get them. So I prefer to listen to Nikki Kanani.' 

Whitty warned people not to listen to people 'peddling untruths' and 'myths' about the vaccine, which he called 'clearly ridiculous.'

'There are a number of myths that fly around with varying… some of which are just clearly ridiculous, and some of which are clearly designed just to scare. That happens to be one of them. That is untrue.

'My own strong suggestion to media present and not present is repeating them in public actually gives them credence which they don't need. They're untrue, full stop.

'If you think about where we are actually overall… the great majority of people are getting vaccinated, so the great majority of people are ignoring these myths,' he said.

'And if you talking about people in their 50s and 60s and 70s, you're talking about over 90 per cent of people getting vaccinated, and very few people actually are actively in… the anti-vax group.

'There are a few people who've got strange beliefs, and fine, and they make their own choices, and in a sense, also fine, people, adults are allowed to make their own choices. However strange that is a basic principle of medical ethics actually.

'But there are also people who go around trying to discourage other people from taking a vaccine which could be life-saving or prevent them from having life-changing injuries to themselves.

'And many of those people, I regret to say, I think know they are peddling untruths and, but they still do it. In my view, they should be ashamed. And I'll leave it at that.' 

DailyMail.com US editor-at-large Piers Morgan also got into a spat with Minaj, writing: 'Professor Whitty beefing with the ghastly @NICKIMINAJ (one of the rudest little madams I've ever met) is not the breaking news that I expected today - but it's most welcome. She's peddling lies that will cost lives.' 

The rapper fired back: 'Sir I’ve never met you. I know… we all look alike. “Rudest little madam”. I like it. Has a special ring to it.

'Thanks Pierce. Love the accent. I’d love to come chat. Scones. Tea. Clown nose & big red shoes for you. Lmk babe.'

The war of words continued with Morgan reminding her of a meeting he said they had and correcting her spelling of his name.  

'Madam, we met on @AGT when you appeared as a guest act - but you refused to say hello to my three young sons because you were ‘too busy’. Oh, and it’s ‘Piers’ - I know, we Brit names all sound alike,' he wrote.

Minaj responded by accusing Morgan of lying: 'Stop fkng lying. I never turn down pics with kids. If a middle person told you that, they were out of line. don’t blame me you stupid piece of s**t.'

The star has got into Twitter spats with a number of people following her controversial vaccine comments Monday. 

Joy Reid, 52, called out Minaj on her show The ReidOut Monday for using her platform 'to encourage our community to not protect themselves and save their lives'.  

'You have a platform, sister, that is 22 million followers, OK? I have 2 million followers. You have 22 million followers on Twitter,' Reid said of Minaj on her show during a discussion about vaccine mandates. 

'For you to use your platform to encourage our community to not protect themselves and save their lives, my God sister, you can do better than that!'

Reid said it is a 'blessing' for Minaj to have such a large platform that people 'listen to you'.

'You got that platform - it's a blessing that you got that! The people listen to you - and they
