Don Lemon Fires Back At Nicki Minaj's "Disgusting" Homophobic Rant

How dare Nicki Minaj be homophobic? Isn’t a significant concentration of her Barbz fan base part of the queer community? Her sparring session with Don Lemon is atrocious. With he being a gay man and she allegedly hetero, what is the big deal here?

He roasted her thoroughly, citing she’s “out of her depth” when it comes to politics and journalism. She responded with a strong mishomosexual missive in all caps and exclamation points.

This is tawdry. Nicki should study and research before she goes in on people. That way, she would not sound like an imbecile. Lemon has been fighting for his right to be a queer man and Nicki has been fighting for the right to be a dunce.

The whole spat started over the idea of Nicki making it her business to talk about a house of worship in which demonstrators disrupted a church service.

Nicki’s faux Christianity came to a boiling point as she argued with Lemon, saying that he should be arrested for his coverage of ICE in Minnesota.

Not only is this highly inaccurate to call for someone in the press to be put in jail, it’s just dumb.

For Don Lemon to be a newsman and relay the events there, he has championed what journalists do. Nicki has further made herself look like a buffoon.

In the verbal melee between Lemon and Nicki, there is something to be found. The former accused Nicki Minaj, born Trini, of being an alien to the United States. He alluded to the fact that Trump should deport her.

Nicki’s tantrum online only serves as her deep-seated supposed hatred for Foundational Black Americans (FBA). As a native to Trinidad and Tobago, Nicki never respected FBA and doesn’t intend to do so in the future.

The truth of the matter is that Lemon tore her down and put her in her place. While he’s left leaning, he still had a great few digs into Nicki saying she is “undocumented.”

It appears that the Barbz may be the only ones who will come to her shows and stream her records. If Nicki keeps this up, she will not be able to come into the house of hip hop without paying regards to the architects and pioneers of rap. She will be relegated to the lowest rungs of the industry as she scrambles to keep her credit with most people in the genre.

Lemon might need to pull back on the swear words and accusations as he knows the consequences of misinformation can be damning. He obviously knows more about politics and journalism but for him to say essentially that Nicki is without papers could be a stretch.

Of course, he couched it in “Trump’s rule” but the idea lingers. Nicki Minaj used to be a hell of a rapper. Now, she’s playing politics without knowing a lick about what she is saying.

For both of them to collide online is just another example of what the world has devolved into at this point. There is a sharp misunderstanding of the entertainment and news cycles already. Both have been misaligned, misguided, and misused. Lemon and Nicki are but symptoms of a wider disease that has plagued both fields for generations. Lemon kind of cheapens himself by going at Nicki and she just demoralizes folks without facts, figures, and truth.

To complete the ugly run by these two, it is important to share that they’re both in America right now as people of color. They are both hated and adored by a number of folks. Their little tiff shows the steady degradation of the worlds in which they occupy.
