Don Lemon has found himself in the midst of a fiery conflict with Nicki Minaj, and he’s not holding back. During an appearance on“TMZ Live,”the former CNN anchor unleashed a pointed message directed at Minaj, telling her to“sit the f*** down”and suggesting she needs to“grow some brains.”The tension mounted after Minaj insulted Lemon with a homophobic slur on social media, igniting this volatile exchange.
Lemon didn’t stop there; he went further, calling Minaj an“ignorant, bigoted woman”and criticized her for involving herself in politics she doesn’t fully understand. His comments alluded to her recent alignment with MAGA, which many find puzzling. He even brought up her husband, Kenneth Petty, labeling him an alleged sex offender, implying her motives were less than innocent.
As Lemon calls for queer and African-American communities to rethink their support for Minaj, it’s clear this saga is more than just celebrity gossip; it touches on serious social issues. One has to wonder, amidst the drama, how deep this divide runs amongst fans on both sides. Can the music industry handle its stars’ messy political missteps?
