“DON LEMON IS DISGUSTING. I WANT THAT THUG IN JAIL!!!!!” — Nicki Minaj Blasts Don Lemon After Minnesota Church Protest — “HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO ANY OTHER RELIGION”

Rapper Nicki Minaj sparked controversy on Monday with a series of posts targeting former CNN anchor Don Lemon, reacting to his involvement in filming a protest that disrupted a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota.

In one post, Minaj wrote, “DON ‘COCK SUCKIN’ LEMON IS DISGUSTING. HOW DARE YOU? I WANT THAT THUG IN JAIL!!!!! HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO ANY OTHER RELIGION. LOCK HIM UP!!!!!”

In a follow-up post, she explained her approach, saying, “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.”

The posts come amid legal scrutiny of Lemon’s actions. U.S. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon issued a warning to Lemon on Monday after he filmed and posted footage of a protest that disrupted a service at Cities Church. Protesters, including local activist Nekima Levy Armstrong, entered the church during Sunday’s service, chanting slogans against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and calling for “Justice for Renee Good.” The protest targeted Pastor David Easterwood, who is listed as a pastor on the church’s website and was introduced as acting director of ICE’s St. Paul Field Office in October.

Armstrong described Easterwood as “a wolf in sheep’s clothing, masquerading as a pastor.” Lemon conducted interviews with Armstrong and lead Pastor Jonathan Parnell but was asked by Parnell to leave the premises. Footage from the event was later shared on Lemon’s social media accounts.

Dhillon emphasized the legal protections for houses of worship, writing on social media: “A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest! It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws! Nor does the First Amendment protect your pseudo journalism of disrupting a prayer service. You are on notice!” She told Newsmax that two federal prosecutors were en route to Minneapolis, stating, “This is going to get the highest attention from the Department of Justice, because there is no more sacred right in our Constitution than the right to assemble and pray to God, and there are federal laws that protect that right.”

The protest is part of broader demonstrations in the Twin Cities against the Trump administration’s immigration policies, following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer earlier this month. ICE stated on social media that “agitators aren’t just targeting our officers. Now they’re targeting churches, too,” blaming Minnesota officials for allowing unrest.

Representatives for Cities Church, Don Lemon, and ICE did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
