One thing about Keith Lee, you just not about to talk to him any kinda way.
On a recent visit to the Breakfast Club Keith Lee got into a noticeable back-and-forth with DJ Envy.
Envy asserted that the viral food critic reviewed food in a manner representative of the neighborhood, but the father of two retaliated.
He alleged that the host had labeled his reviews as “ghetto,” a claim Envy promptly refuted.
“I wouldn’t say the hood way, I just eat food,” Lee argued. Envy then asked him how service in NYC differs from that of other regions, which Lee said is all in the culture. “Culture is different, the people are different” he explained. “When I walked in you asked me or you said that I’m a ghetto food critic, so it’s like that alone embodies what New York is… New York is cold, they play with you a lot.”
“I didn’t say ghetto I said hood,” Envy interjected, prompting Lee to say “It’s the same thing.”
According to HNHH “I didn’t say ghetto I said hood,” Envy interjected, prompting Lee to say “It’s the same thing.” The TikTok personality went on, claiming that he doesn’t like when small restaurants are given the same “energy” that Envy gave him, but he himself doesn’t mind it because he has “thick skin.”
Envy eventually elaborated on his comments, stating that while he’s from the “hood” he doesn’t consider himself “ghetto.” Charlamagne Tha God disagreed, calling him “so ghetto.” Both Charlamagne and Lee then took aim at his outfit, arguing that wearing a wife beater when it’s cold and rainy is pretty “ghetto.”
The former MMA star made it clear that he didn’t appreciate being pigeonholed by DJ Envy.
Countless social media users are weighing in on the debate, praising Lee for the polite way he handled the correction.
Others think he misunderstood what Envy said, and came back a bit too hard.
