Nicki Minaj has called Piers Morgan a "stupid piece of s***" in a heated Twitter exchange after he slammed her comments surrounding the Covid-19 vaccine.
The rapper, 38, made headlines around the world after she claimed on Monday (September 13) that the live-saving vaccine had swollen her cousin's friend's testicles and made him impotent, as per the Independent.
She was then criticized by the UK's Chief Medical Adviser Chris Whitty and Prime Minister Boris Johnson during a press conference for spreading misinformation to her 22.6 million Twitter followers.
In response to the news, Morgan, 56, subsequently tweeted: "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."
The outspoken personality then added that Minaj was "peddling lies that will cost lives."
However, Minaj retweeted Morgan's comment and wrote: "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 [sic]. Love the accent. I'd love to come chat. Scones. Tea. Clown nose & big red shoes for you. Lmk babe."
She then decided to update her Twitter biography to read "Rudest little madam" and added a Union Jack emoji to represent Piers' British nationality.
Piers hit back again and explained that he met the rapper when he was a judge on America's Got Talent, where she performed back in 2011.
"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.
He said that she refused to take a photograph with his young sons, something she claimed she would never do.
Minaj wrote: "Stop f****ng 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 [sic]."
The rapper then tweeted: "He gon make me go live. Chiiiiileeee. Does he have an ig. I wanna go live with him. ENOUGH UGLY! @pierce [sic]".

However, Minaj mistakenly tagged Twitter user @pierce, the Protocol editor, rather than Piers Morgan in the tweet, something that left David Pierce more than a little confused.
This is something Minaj addressed, retweeting his reply and writing: "Oops sir."
