In a now-deleted Instagram post, West shared a photo of Lemon smiling. He captioned it with an offensive statement, blaming Lemon for the rumors. He wrote, “This the goofball that started the rumour that me and my wife got kicked out the Grammies.”
West also referenced his long career in music, claiming the media had always tried to undermine him. As with many of his past controversial posts, he later removed it.
Lemon quickly responded, denying that he spread the rumor. In a video posted to Instagram, he addressed West directly.
“I did not start a rumor about you being kicked out of the Grammys,” Lemon stated. “I actually corrected it.”
He claimed that someone from West’s team asked him to clarify the misinformation. Lemon then criticized West for calling him a racial slur.
“There was not a barricade, there was no security, I was right on you. I could have asked you anything.”I could have asked you why are you an anti-semite, why are you sexist, what would make you think that Kamala Harris would come near you with a 10-foot pole? I didn’t even discuss the odd things that you and your wife are doing and that people are actually really concerned for your wife. They are really worried about her.”

West’s response has only added to the controversy surrounding his Grammys appearance. While he denies being kicked out, his social media posts have fueled the debate. Meanwhile, the backlash over Bianca Censori’s outfit continues to dominate headlines.
