A senior executive from Estée Lauder has been fired for posting a Sesame Street meme that used the n-word. John Demsey was making $10 million a year but, for reasons unknown, he posted an image of Big Bird and Snuffleupagus discussing Chingy.

Saw Chingy was trending and thought - huh, with everything else going on... - Estee Lauder senior executive John Demsey has been fired after posting this meme on his Instagram.

Chingy has not responded. Presumably he isn't too mad, since this is the first time he has been semi-relevant in years.
