Don Lemon Claps Back at Nicki Minaj for Calling Him Homophobic Slur Over Ice Protest Report

Don Lemon is not holding back in his response to Nicki Minaj after she called him a homophobic slur over one of his reports on Ice protests in Minneapolis.

The former celebrity.land anchor, who is openly gay, went off on the rapper during an interview with TMZ, calling her a “homophobic, bigoted, ignorant woman” after she called him “disgusting” for his coverage.

“This is clearly out of her depth. She doesn’t understand politics. She doesn’t understand journalism. And I’m not surprised that she is weighing in on something that is beyond her capacity,” Lemon said. “I think she put the Chucky doll in [her post]. A better symbol that should have been represented in that picture is a ‘Pick Me’ doll because Nicki Minaj is a pick me. She will do anything that is expedient for her politically. And again, she’s ignorant. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
