Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, will also be in attendance, making it a true family affair. Later that evening, Don Lemon made headlines by addressing a recent feud with Kanye West. The TV host called for “respect” after West allegedly directed a racial slur at him in a now-deleted Instagram post. Lemon also weighed in on West’s controversial Grammys appearance, acknowledging the rapper’s knack for marketing but expressing surprise at the level of nudity involved in the stunt.
