Don Lemon is DONE with Nicki Minaj's recent behavior! As we've been following, the rapper has come under fire lately for her MAGA support. She's been all about Donald Trump's leadership as of late, and it's gotten to the point where her own fans started a petition to get her DEPORTED by ICE! And it got way more signatures than you expect! Most recently, the chaos started up again after the independent journalist and former CNN reporter was being called out for covering a group of ICE protestors who interrupted a church service in Minnesota. The Department of Justice has called the action disgusting, while Nicki herself chimed in and freaked out over the whole situation. On X (Twitter), she even went on a rant, throwing some horrible words toward the openly gay journalist. She said: "DON 'C*** S**KIN' LEMON IS DISGUSTING. HOW DARE YOU? I WANT THAT THUG IN JAIL!!!!! HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO ANY OTHER RELIGION. LOCK HIM UP!!!!!" She added a picture of the Chucky doll to her post, and it immediately went viral over Sunday night. Yikes.

LOCK HIM UP!!!!! pic.twitter.com/xoQBl9KDJY - Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) January 19, 2026 Related: ICE's Lack Of Quality Employment Requirements Lampooned On SNL Now, Don is responding to this mess. He said in an interview with TMZ on Monday: "I have lots of gay friends who love Nicki Minaj. Why are you supporting this homophobic, bigoted, ignorant woman? You should not be supporting her." He went on to say this is way out of Nicki's element - and suggested she shouldn't even be giving her two cents: "This is clearly out of her depth, she doesn't understand politics, she doesn't understand journalism, and I'm not surprised she's weighing in on something that's beyond her capacity. What I will say to her is ... What would be a better symbol that should've been represented in that picture [instead of a Chucky doll] is a 'pick me' doll. Because Nicki Minaj is a 'pick me'." Don added: "She will do anything that is expedient for her politically. And again, she's ignorant. She doesn't know what she's talking about. She's always weighing in on things she doesn't know about. Nicki Minaj should just sit the f**k down." He even took shots at Nicki's controversial husband, Kenneth Petty: "By the way, isn't she married to an alleged pedophile? And she has the nerve to say something disparaging about - something homophobic?" The journalist wrapped up by suggesting maybe she's cozying up to the Trump Administration for her husband's benefit, before mic dropping: "So, Nicki Minaj, eff off. Stop being a homophobic bigot. And get a life - and some brains." See his full response (below): Damn!! But Nicki's already fired back! On her socials, she shared ANOTHER Chucky picture, and wrote: "LOL!! And I purposely wrote it that way b/c I knew that would be the only way to get the c**k s**kas to post about it. They would've all collectively ignored the despicable behavior displayed by Lemon head. I'm glad they're angry. They're about to get angrier." LOL!!! And I purposely wrote it that way b/c I knew that would be the only way to get the cock suckas to post about it. They would've all collectively ignored the despicable behavior displayed by Lemon head. I'm glad they're angry. They're about to get angrier. https://t.co/yzMLAvgRNN pic.twitter.com/bVMroDyjAH - Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) January 19, 2026 Nothing says you're in the right like posting a photo of a murderous horror movie doll with a knife and a middle finger.
