Kanye West and Don Lemon are at odds following the rapper’s controversial appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards. West showed up with his wife, Bianca Censori, who turned heads with a completely sheer outfit that left little to the imagination. Her bold fashion choice fueled rumors that Kanye had been kicked out of the event, but reports later confirmed he left voluntarily and never planned on entering the venue.

During the Grammys, Don Lemon shared a now-deleted video addressing the situation. “I’m hearing that Kanye wanted to do the red carpet and he wasn’t invited. That’s what I’m hearing from the folks here at the Grammys,” he said. “And then he left. Maybe was escorted out, that’s what folks are saying. But I’m not sure. Maybe he just wanted to do the red carpet. But he is definitely gone.”

Lemon later walked back the speculation, clarifying, “We saw a spokesperson for Kanye and they said Kanye was indeed invited — they said that’s a fact — and that he was not kicked out.” But that didn’t stop Kanye from firing back.

On Monday, February 3rd, the rapper took to Instagram to blast Lemon, writing, “This the goofball that started the rumor that me and my wife got kicked out of the Grammies 3 decades of innovating music and they always KOONS like this.”

Lemon didn’t hold back in his response. “Kanye… Yee… Ye — whatever your name is. I did not start a rumor about you being kicked out of the Grammys. I actually corrected it,” he said. “So first of all, get your shit straight. And you, of all people, calling me a coon [laughs]. Negro, that Make America Great Again hat must be too tight on your head.”

Despite the drama, Kanye did confirm on the red carpet that his new album Bully is set to drop “this year.”
