US EditionNicki Minaj Hurls Homophobic Slur at Don Lemon Before His Arrest
Nicki Minaj repeatedly used a homophobic slur about Don Lemon amid tensions over his federal detention linked to his coverage of anti-ICE protests, officials said.
- On January 30, 2026, Don Lemon was taken into federal custody in Los Angeles after reporting on protests, while Nicki Minaj used a homophobic slur against him shortly before his arrest.
- Following Lemon's livestream earlier this month from Cities Church, St. Paul, demonstrators interrupted a weekend service and prosecutors accused Lemon of violating a federal law protecting worship participation.
- In a podcast preview, Minaj laughed while addressing her dispute with Lemon on The Katie Miller podcast airing Tuesday, February 3, and Lemon called her remarks 'homophobic and bigoted' urging her to `sit the f*** down`.
- CBS News reported that Lemon will face a grand jury in Los Angeles, with his attorney Abbe Lowell saying `Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.`
- Critics say this episode highlights how celebrity feud culture distracts from policy issues, amid concerns over free speech and the First Amendment. The arrest is seen as a broader pattern of media spectacle.
