#2Chainz and #KeithLee recently had a little back-and-forth over restaurant reviews and celebrity treatment. 🥙🥗

During an appearance on Kirk Franklin’s “Den of Kings,” the Atlanta rapper addressed Keith’s previous criticism of Atlanta’s restaurant scene. 2 Chainz, who owns several food spots in the city, including Esco Restaurant & Tapas, argued that Black-owned establishments deserve more grace from critics. However, Keith explained that his reviews focus on the experience everyday customers receive, not just celebrities.

2 Chainz pushed back, arguing that celebrities have earned certain privileges through their success. The rapper also questioned whether Keith’s background as an #MMA fighter and years of strict dieting influenced his food reviews, suggesting that everyday customers aren't necessarily looking to eat like him. Keith defended his food expertise and emphasized that he only visits restaurants that have requested his reviews. Their exchange has since sparked a heated debate online, with many siding with Keith, while others pointed out that the harsh review that seemingly upset 2 Chainz actually came from a different popular #TikTok food reviewer. 👀 (SWIPE➡️)
