USA Today: Rappers call for firing of Fox News' Laura Ingraham after Nipsey Hussle segment. Laura Ingraham is being called out for a “controversial” segment she broadcasted on ‘The Ingraham Angle’ a day after the slain rapper, Nipsey Hussle’s, memorial aired on BET. She played a portion of the song "F---, Donald Trump” and questioned how the song was related to the lowest unemployment rate ever for African-Americans. The segment was received by the black community as sarcastic and offensive, and an edited version of her show was being shared by famous rappers on social media. Los Angeles Rapper ‘The Game’ posted the video on his Instagram with a caption that threatened Fox News saying,
“So let me tell you what’s going to happen here.... Fox News fires this disrespectful c*nt by tomorrow, Monday morning or you will lose millions of viewers one person at a time until it drastically effects your ratings, views etc... if our demographic doesn’t effect that we will STOP support of ALL SPONSORS immediately !!! We are NO LONGER laying quiet while you continuously disrespect our brother, culture, and African Americans as a whole. I will use my platform & call on my peers to do the same. Nips passing nor his legacy is to be taken lightly as there will be consequences for any disrespect now or in the future as long as I have a voice !!! I’m asking all of my followers, fans, friends & family to spread this video with demands of #LauraIngrahams termination immediately !!!!! This is not a game & my brothers untimely demise has noticeably shifted the world & brought people from all ethnicity’s together in mourning. There is a power in that, that will be used & action will be taken from now going forward. We will not be accepting any apology from her... we want her fired, PERIOD !!!!! #TheMarathonContinues ??? DO NOT LET THIS SLIDE MY PEOPLE. I know you can feel the energy NIP left all of us.. I know you feel it !!!!! ??”
