00:00So, first of all, get your s*** straight.
00:02Don Lemon is clapping back after Kanye West called him out and accused him of starting
00:07a rumor about him.
00:08The drama started when several outlets reported that the rapper had allegedly been kicked
00:13out of the Grammys.
00:14Kanye took to Instagram and in a now-deleted post shared a photo of the former CNN anchor
00:20accusing him in the caption, writing,
00:22This the goofball that started the rumor that me and my wife got kicked out the Grammys
00:27three decades of innovating music, and Kanye then called Lemon a racial slur.
00:32Well now Don Lemon has responded and denied that allegation.
00:37First of all, Kanye, ye, yay, whatever your name is, I did not start a rumor about you
00:46being kicked out of the Grammys, I actually corrected it.
00:49I saw someone on your team who asked me to correct it because it had been reported everywhere.
00:56So first of all, get your s*** straight.
00:59And you, of all people, calling me a c*****, Negro, that Make America Great Again hat must
01:14be too tight on your head.
01:16Now the rumor started to circulate after Kanye and wife Bianca Sensori made a jaw-dropping
01:21appearance on the red carpet.
01:23Sensori shocked fans after removing her long fur coat to reveal a nude sheer mini-dress
01:29that left nothing to the imagination as Sensori chose not to wear a bra or underwear underneath
01:35the garment.
01:36While the couple stopped to take pictures on the red carpet, and Kanye was a nominee
01:40in the best rap song category, the couple was spotted leaving the event after posing
01:45for photographers, leading to the speculation, but it appears those initial reports were
01:51false and it was the couple's decision to leave.
01:54Here's an update for you.
01:55As we were leaving the Grammys, we saw a spokesperson for Kanye, and that spokesperson said Kanye
02:02was indeed invited, they said that's a fact, and that he was not kicked out again.
02:06That is what they are saying on Kanye's side, alright?
02:11So this is Don Lemon reporting the tea from the Grammys, back to you in the studio.
02:17At some point during the ceremony, Don did post a reel where he appeared to speculate
02:21on the situation and shared what he was hearing from others at the event.
02:25Here's what I'm hearing.
02:26I'm hearing that Kanye wanted to do the red carpet, that he wasn't invited, that's what
02:31I'm hearing from the folks here at the Grammys, and then he left, maybe was escorted out,
02:37that's what folks are saying, but I'm not sure, I think maybe he just wanted to do the
02:41carpet, but he definitely is gone.
02:43I may be the only person to interview him, by the way.
02:46He also shared video of a quick interaction he had with Kanye moments before the couple
02:51stepped in front of photographers.
02:53Kanye, when is Bully gonna come out?
02:56When is Bully coming?
02:57Yay.
02:58I changed my name to Yay.
02:59Yay.
03:00Soon, this year though.
03:01When is Bully coming out?
03:02This year.
03:03This year.
03:04Kanye, the number one artist you want to put on right now?
03:05Give me a second, I'm focused.
03:14No interviews.
03:15No interviews.
