Nicki Minaj Criticizes Don Lemon, Uses Homophobic Slur in Church Protest Debate

Controversy erupted over the weekend when Nicki Minaj criticized journalist Don Lemon. Her comments came after his coverage of a protest during a church service in Minnesota.

Protest at Cities Church

The incident took place at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. A group of demonstrators interrupted a Sunday service to protest the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Protesters called for justice for Renee Nicole Good. She was shot by an ICE agent earlier this month during a federal enforcement operation.

Minaj’s Outburst

• Nicki Minaj accused Don Lemon of being “disgusting” in her social media posts.
• She demanded that Lemon face consequences for his actions, stating, “LOCK HIM UP!!!!!”

Minaj’s remarks, shared on the platform X, were directed at Lemon’s livestream of the protest along with accusations against the church’s pastor, who allegedly has ties to ICE.

Lemon’s Response

In response to Minaj’s outbursts, Don Lemon remarked that he was not surprised by her comments. He expressed that Minaj’s understanding of journalism was limited. He suggested that her social media post resembled that of a “Pick Me” doll.

Political Reactions

The discourse expanded when Karoline Leavitt, a former White House Secretary under President Trump, voiced her support for Minaj. She condemned the protest and claimed it was an act of intimidation against Christians in their places of worship.

Leavitt mentioned that the Department of Justice has initiated a full investigation into the incident during the church service.

Summary of Key Events

This incident highlights ongoing discussions around media coverage of sensitive topics such as immigration and religious freedoms. As both sides continue to voice their opinions, the impact of these statements on public perception remains to be seen.
