2 Chainz is TRUUUly sorry for the comments that sparked backlash following his restaurant review confrontation with Keith Lee, but the restaurant owner is still facing criticism for stopping short of publicly apologizing directly to the TikToker.
As previously reported, fans were furious with the College Park rapper and urged him to apologize to Keith Lee after he seemingly confused the popular food critic with another restaurant reviewer during an episode of Kirk Franklin’s Den of Kings.
During the conversation, a visibly frustrated 2 Chainz questioned Lee’s credibility as a restaurant reviewer and defended celebrities receiving special treatment over everyday customers. As it turns out, however, Lee never publicly posted a negative review of his restaurant.
Fans pointed out that 2 Chainz’s frustration may have been misplaced, as fellow TikToker Mr. Chimetime was actually the one who delivered a scathing review of his establishment.
Now amid a hearty helping of negative responses, 2 Chainz is saying it’s all in the past.
“I got a chance to speak to Keith after the podcast and it was all love,” the rapper wrote on social media. “I know my words offended some people and I apologize for that. What I said and what I meant were two different things. I could’ve done a better job getting my point across.”
Keith Lee has yet to publicly acknowledge 2 Chainz’ words, but fans are once again rallying behind him and demanding that 2 Chainz publicly apologize to the TikToker for the mix-up.
“Don’t apologize to us peasants!” wrote one critic.
“We wanna see you apologize to him publicly,” added another.
