Rick Ross has reached out to Don Lemon to offer him a job at Wingstop after the 57-year-old news anchor was fired from CNN.
Lemon was let go by CNN on Monday, with the network saying the two had “parted ways.”
The host, who had worked for CNN for 17 years, wrote on Twitter that he was “stunned” and that he found out he had been terminated through his agent.
Tagging Lemon in an Instagram story on Tuesday, Ross said that there were positions open at his Wingstop locations.
“Just found out Don Lemon was terminated from CNN. Damn, dawg,” the rapper, who reportedly owns over two dozen Wingstop restaurants across the United States, said. “But guess what? The brother’s got your back.”
“We hiring at Wingstop,” he added. “And for some reason, I believe you know what you doing with the lemon pepper wings, so man, just send over your résumé. I’mma make sure I get you in front of the right grill, brother. Stay solid, brother.”
In a second video, Ross pitched Lemon another business proposition involving his energy-drink company, Rapstar.
“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!”
