With surprise victories, outrageous dress choices, and now Kanye West in yet another headline, this year's Grammys had it all. After all, what would an award event be without a little controversy? Ye's clapping back at Don Lemon, who he says generated a rumor that he and his wife, Bianca Censori, were expelled from the event. This is what is generating headlines this time, not his music.
Kanye interrupts to remind everyone that the actual show starts after the awards, just when you thought the night's biggest drama was someone's attire. On Monday, Kanye took to his Instagram account and posted a photo of Lemon along with a message, however, he deleted the post later as usual:
"This the goofball that started the rumor that me and my wife got kicked out the Grammies. 3 decades of innovating music and they always KOONS like this."
Despite the rumors, the pair was not dragged off the red carpet following their spectacular arrival. Given that Censori initially wore a heavy fur coat, and after that her bold attire immediately caught attention and generated conversation.
It turns out that Bianca and Kanye weren't expelled from Grammys. They were just a perfect case of a story gone wild. The only thing that Kanye seems to have been "expelled" from is the general idea of what is real and what is not.
Don Lemon seems to have jumped the gun on this one, but we're all waiting for the next plot twist. It's Kanye, after all. Rumour has it that he won the Grammy for Best Drama the following year. As soon as the news came out someone (@JaredBrehm) took to his X platform and commented:
"Don trying to stay relevant is hilarious"
The former CNN anchor responded with a message disputing Kanye West's accusation that he disseminated a rumor that the rapper and his wife, Bianca Censori, would be disqualified from the 2025 Grammy Awards. He shared a YouTube video and said:
"First of all, Kanye, Yee, Ye, whatever your name is, I did not start a rumor about you being kicked out of the Grammys. I actually corrected it."
As was to be expected, fans rushed to social media to share their thoughts on the latest drama. The comment section was immediately crowded with confusion as people argued about whether Don Lemon had inadvertently become embroiled in the latest celebrity conflict or if this was all a part of a bigger, unstated plot. Anyway, the memes were already starting to surface.

In the end, the 2025 Grammys may have been a star-studded celebration of music, but the real entertainment came from Kanye, Don, and a rumor that took on a life of its own. When it comes to drama, you can never bet on the internet to flex a niggling flicker into a big maven.
