Talib Kweli On Why He Doesn’t F**k With Don Lemon After Dispute [Video]
While speaking on police brutality and his love for legendary singer Nina Simone, hip-hop artist Talib Kweli explained what exactly happened when he went on CNN to discuss politics with news reporter Don Lemon. “I had heard that people don’t like him. I had read some things he said that I didn’t agree with, but I went into it really happy and excited to do the interview with him,” he recalls. Talib and Don got into a verbal bout on live television after the activist expressed his feelings about the media “doing a horrible job” reporting on the mishappenings in Ferguson, Missouri. “I didn’t expect him to be so disrespectful as he was to me – that totally threw me for a loop,” Kweli tells us. “I don’t f*** with Don Lemon.” Press play to hear Talib kweli explain why “bodies have to be in the places for us to tweet about it first” and more about social injustices above.
