Bishop Lamor Miller Whitehead and Asia K. DosReis-Whitehead attend a tribute to Biggie Smalls in 2021 in the Brooklyn borough of New YorkBishop Lamor Miller Whitehead and Asia K.

"You want to sit here and validate homosexuality because you just admitted that you're a [slur]," Whitehead said to Reid, an Atlanta pastor and talk show host, during the exchange. Reid and Warren apparently ridiculed parts of the robbery footage, and Whitehead appeared in an interview with them both to push back. He told Warren, another Atlanta pastor, “to go and get some weight loss … You're fat. You're a fat slob. I don't know you.”
