Former CNN anchor Don Lemon is upset with rapper Nicki Minaj for calling him a homophobic slur after he and others stormed a church in Minnesota.
Lemon and other anti-ICE protesters stormed the Cities Church in St Paul, and accused the pastor of collaborating with ICE agents.
Video shows Lemon was embedded with the demonstrators before they stormed the church in St. Paul during Sunday service.
The incident prompted the Department of Justice (DOJ) to consider arresting Lemon under the FACE Act and the KKK Act for violating the rights of others to gather in religious worship.
The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act) protects access to reproductive health clinics.
The KKK Act, also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, protects groups against others who deprive them of their rights.
Nicki Minaj was among those calling for Don Lemon’s arrest. She called him a “thug” and a nasty homophobic slur that sent him into a rage.
In a TikTok video on Monday, the highly emotional podcaster called Nicki “homophobic” and suggested she be deported back to her native Trinidad and Tobago.
“I usually don’t respond to this stuff, but let me just say this. Nicki Minaj, stop talking about s–t which you know nothing about. This is out of your depth, by the way. And you are a homophobic bigot,” he said.
“You don’t care about African Americans, you’re not an African American. From what I know, you are reportedly an undocumented citizen, so you should be deported under Donald Trump’s rule.”
Nicki has lived in the United States since she was 5 years old. She pays her taxes and is a homeowner in California.
Nicki lost fans over her support of President Trump, Erika Kirk and the conservative movement in the U.S.
Lemon brought up Nicki’s brother, who is in prison for assaulting an underage girl, and Nicki’s husband, Kenneth Petty, in his rant.
“You have one family member who is a sex offender, the other family member… is reportedly a pedophile. And you have the nerve to talk about me?” Lemon said.
“Nicki Minaj, get a life, stop being a pick-me,” he continued. “You are a pick-me. And I choose not to pick you, and so should Black people, and so should gay people, shouldn’t buy your music. Clock that.”
