AceShowbiz - Keith Lee gets candid about trolls. When stopping by Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast, the TikTok food critic reflected on having a tense encounter with a troll who jokingly called him DDG.
During a sit-down with Shannon, Keith shared that he wasn't mad for being compared to DDG. Instead, it was the fact the man, who is known as internet prankster Gerald Huston, touched him that angered him at the time.
"It turned into like a fiasco of us actually getting into it," Keith revealed. "I wanted to make it clear because yeah, I've never spoke on it. I didn't have no problem with Gerald, Gerald grabbed me. He walked up the thing and he grabbed my waist, and I was like, 'Ay, don't do that.' "
The TikToker added, "It's a difference between him saying, 'Oh, you're DDG.' I'm the type to laugh about that, I don't care about people trolling."
Keith further noted that he and the YouTuber are cool, adding that they just met recently. Keith also claimed that his family agreed that they did look alike.
"I just don't like being touched," Keith stressed. "So I wanted to make that clear. If you're trolling you're trolling, I get that. I just don't like being touched."
The said heated encounter took place in July. In a video circulating online at the time, Keith could be seen looking pissed when Gerald taunted him as he was strolling with his entourage. "DDG bro! DDG bro!" the prankster yelled while approaching him. To that, Keith warned, "Don't do that! Don't do that!"
At one point, the former MMA fighter had to be restrained by one of his bodyguards, though it seemed like it was because he might strip on the stairs. Despite the warning, the troll didn't stop, prompting Keith to tell him, "I got your content." Gerald, appeared to be unbothered by the warning as he said, "I thought you were DDG, bro!"
