Keith Lee reacts to Taraji P. Henson confusing his name at the 2024 BET Awards.
While BET Awards host, Henson, was giving people their “flowers” she had quite the mix-up.
As she made her way through the crowd, she stopped at popular TikToker’s Jordan Howlett and Keith Lee. She jokingly calls Howlett a “method Man look-alike,” and asked, “Meth is married — are you?” while speaking to Howlett whom she confused with Keith Lee. “Mr. Keith Lee, I know what you’re thinking right now, this is about a 10.9 outta 10?”
Howlett quickly pointed out that he wasn’t Lee- in which Henson responded with, “I got caught up in my own inner monologue, I’m so sorry.” She then joked that Lee was “fine, too.”
Keith Lee seemingly reacted to the now viral mix-up in a since deleted post. “Our name will be known in every room it’s supposed to be in, when it’s supposed to be, how it’s supposed to be, with no confusion. God is amazing. [prayer emoji] Thankful,” he captioned a clip of him tossing the rose Henson handed him on the ground.
Lee is a former MMA fighter turned food critic. He has gained over 16 million followers on TikTok and helped hundreds of restaurants across the world with his food reviews. He and wife, Ronni Lee, share two children together. Both Lee and his wife were seen together at the 2024 BET Awards.
He shared an updated video via TikTok expressing that he is not upset with Henson for the mix-up.
