On Monday, January 3, Lemon responded to Ye’s post with a video post of his own shared via Instagram. In the clip, Lemon said, “Kanye — Ye… whatever your name is, I did not start a rumor about you being kicked out of the Grammys. I actually corrected it.”
Furthermore, Lemon went on to explain that a member of Ye’s team allegedly asked him to help dispel the rumor.
“So, first of all, get your s**t straight,” Lemon added. “And you, of all people, calling me a coon?… Negro. That ‘Make American Great Again’ hat must be too tight on your head.”

While Instagram user @sitchchick added, “‘Kanye. Ye. Whatever your name is’ 😂”
Meanwhile, Newsweek has reported that the outlet contacted the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office on Monday, January 3. According to the office and department, neither entity has “heard anything” about Censori facing legal consequences for her red-carpet look.
Per the outlet, Censori’s actions could violate California’s Indecent Exposure Law: “when a person exposes his or her naked body or genitals in front of anyone who could be annoyed or offended by it.”
