On Monday morning, Don Lemon took social media by storm, announcing his termination from CNN. But, within 24 hours, he received another job offer!
After Rick Ross discovered Lemon was fired after 17 years with the network, the Miami native immediately offered the former anchor a position with one of his several Wing Stop franchises. In his announcement, he ensured Lemon that “the brothers got your back” as he encouraged the news anchor to send him a résumé, confirming he’ll get him in front of the “right grill.”
“Just found out Don Lemon was terminated from CNN. Damn, dawg. But guess what? The brothers got your back. We hiring at Wingstop. And for some reason, I believe you know what you are doing with the lemon pepper wings, so man, just send over your résumé … I’m going a make sure I get you in front of the right grill, brother. Stay solid, brother.”
That’s not all. Ross spoke about another idea, offering a Don Lemon version of his Rapstar Energy Drink.
“Just came up with a wonderful idea — well, really, Don, you helped me come up with this,” he said. “I need to hit the team over at Rapstar Energy Drink and let ’em know we should introduce the Don Lemon flavor. What y’all think? Aye, Don, we got you, brother!”
