TikTok food critic sensation Keith Lee gave us all the feels when he broke down in tears during his wife, Ronni Lee’s birthday surprise.
Keith, 27, shared the moment Ronni put his blind fold on and took him right on down to the car lot, where she surprised him with a brand new car.
Watch:
Keith Lee who used to be a MMA fighter became a viral sensation for his food reviews on TikTok that help bring new customers and new life into struggling small businesses.
He prided himself in giving an honest grass roots review rating everything from customer service, to the food.
Sitting at around 13.9 million in followers and counting, Keith has not only worked with black owned businesses, but celebrities as well as fast food chains we all know and love.
In an interview with MMA Fighting Keith said he started making food videos to help him become more comfortable on camera while doing MMA inteviews.
“I originally started doing TikTok to get more comfortable with doing interviews for MMA,” Lee explained. “Because at the time, all I was doing was MMA. Within that, it was about me learning how to slow myself down, how to speak at a more monotone tone. I usually speak this slow anyways but when I get excited or I get nervous, I talk real fast.
“So I could see myself in the beginning of my videos, I was talking real fast and everything was kind of fast and choppy and I was like, what do I do to slow myself down so I can articulate, so you can understand what I’m saying.”
According to Lee, when he first started producing videos for TikTok, he wasn’t even focusing on food reviews but rather content centered around his family.
Nothing came easy, however, because Lee says his social anxiety made him struggle in front of the camera as he continuously worked at getting better at public speaking.
“It used to take me an hour and a half to shoot a two-minute video when I first started,” Lee revealed. “Because I would get so nervous. My hands would get clammy, I would sweat, I would be staring at the video. I would be stuttering, repeating myself non-stop and it would just be me [on the video] but [in my head] it was a thousand people watching me, even though at the time I was just recording and I wasn’t posting it.
“It would just be me panicking. Through that I’ve learned how to relax, calm down and I think that’s what draws people.”
