Lemon initially referenced the rumor in a post he made from the awards ceremony, saying that people were theorizing that the Academy kicked West out. “I’m hearing that Kanye wanted to do the red carpet, that he wasn’t invited. That’s what I’m hearing from the folks here at the Grammys. And then, uh, he left, maybe he was escorted out,” Lemon said in the clip. “That’s what folks are saying, but I’m not sure. I think maybe he just wanted to do the carpet, but he definitely is gone. I may be the only person who interviewed him, by the way.”
As for West's fiery post about Lemon, he shared a picture of him on Instagram while complaining about him in the caption. "This the goofball that started the rumor that me and my wife got kicked out the Grammies," he wrote. "3 decades of innovating music and they always K**NS like this." In other news, Kanye is currently working on his next studio album, Bully.
