2 Chainz apologized on X on Nov 3 after his heated exchange with food critic Keith Lee on Kirk Franklin's Den of Kings. 'I got a chance to speak to Keith after the podcast and it was all love. 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.' On the podcast, 2 Chainz defended celebrities getting better restaurant service and pressed Keith over a bad review of Esco Restaurant & Tapas, his Atlanta spot. Bossip, Vice and HotNewHipHop reported Keith never reviewed Esco; the 2024 1.8/10 takedown was Mr. Chimetime's. The apology does not mention the mix-up. A resurfaced 2020 concert clip of 2 Chainz telling a fan to 'sit yo gay ass down' is also recirculating in the backlash.
