American rapper, Offset says he will not accept the COVID-19 vaccine despite former President Barack Obama offering to take it on camera to show it is safe.
The Migos rapper said he just does not trust the vaccine, a sentiment shared by 14 percent of the Black population in America.
Cardi B’s husband spoke in a short video interview with TMZ shared on Youtube, as the authorities set to begin distributing the first set of vaccines to the populace.
Offset alluded to a photo circulating online which showed people with a distorted face after allegedly participating in COVID-19 vaccine trial. They were said to have suffered from Bell’s Palsy, a condition characterised by muscle weakness that causes one half of the face to droop.
Offset said he did not trust the government on information provided about the vaccine, noting that President Obama’s willing to take it on camera was not enough to get him to accept it.
He added that he would not feel okay to be expeditiously provided with the vaccine because of his celebrity status while others who needed it more cannot easily access it.
