TikToker Keith Lee calls out UFC fighter Sean Strickland for false racist allegations TikTok: Keith_Lee125 \/ YouTube: Sean StricklandTikToker Keith Lee has shut down racist allegations made by UFC fighter Sean Strickland, claiming the conversation the two shared was spun to create a false narrative. Keith Lee, known as \u2018keith_lee125\u2019 on TikTok, is a 27-year-old professional fighter turned food reviewer who helps small businesses turn their fortune around. His change in career started after Lee decided to hone his speaking skills after the 2020 pandemic, with his TikTok account subsequently blowing up. Currently boasting 13.5 million followers on the platform, Lee has since gone on to collaborate with MrBeast and Kevin Hart. But Lee\u2019s success almost came to a standstill when UFC fighter Sean Strickland claimed the creator was racist, resulting in mass backlash and negative comments. Now, after great consideration on whether to address the allegations, Lee has spoken out and clapped back at Strickland\u2019s accusations. The drama started after the UFC fighter claimed he hated \u201cKevin Lee\u2019s brother\u201d while on an episode of his podcast. Strickland alleged that during a discussion at the gym, Lee came up to him and \u201ctried to talk to [Strickland] about race\u201d. According to Strickland, after some back and forth the conversation became heated with Lee apparently claiming, \u201cI don\u2019t like white people.\u201d Now Lee is clapping back in a new TikTok addressing the claims Strickland made, stating \u201cYes, me and Sean had a conversation. No, this conversation didn\u2019t go anything how he depicted it.\u201d Lee went on to explain that he joined in on Strickland\u2019s conversation with two other mutual friends and that the topic was already about race, in a discussion that started off as \u201cintelligent\u201d and \u201cproductive.\u201d However, things took a turn after Strickland said, \u201cYo, Lee, I\u2019m not racist. I\u2019ve f***** more black women than you have, bro. How am I racist?\u201d A statement Strickland himself admitted to. While Strickland claimed he was being \u2018\u201cfunny,\u201d Lee said he didn\u2019t find the humor in the UFC fighter\u2019s comments. \u201cHe then spun my words into saying [I don\u2019t like white people],\u201d Lee said. \u201cNever at one point did I say I don\u2019t like anybody [sic]. I simply disagreed with what he said and, instead of fighting ignorance with ignorance, I said \u2018No, I\u2019m happily married with children and I\u2019m very proud of the family that God has allowed me to build.\u2019\u201d Strickland tweeted about Lee\u2019s response, stating, \u201cBro you eat Cheetos for a living\u2026. relax \u2018I\u2019m married to a beautiful black woman\u2019 yes and right before that you said \u2018naa I don\u2019t like white people.\u2019 Again it doesn\u2019t f****** matter\u2026 [laughing my ass off] Keep eating your sushi. [sic]\u201d Lee admits he considered not responding to the allegations made against him, but that they were beginning to affect his family and livelihood. He even went on to call the two friends who had been present for the conversation, both of which denied Strickland\u2019s claims. \u201cThis goes completely against what I stand on as a person [sic],\u201d Lee said. \u201cMy actions speak louder than my words, and I\u2019ve been blessed enough to be in a position to be a marketing platform for business and business owners of all races.\u201d For all the latest entertainment news, be sure to check out our page here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
