Keith Lee and 2 Chainz got into a debate on "Den Of Kings" about restaurant service and the perks of being famous.

On the most recent episode of Den Of Kings, 2 Chainz sat down with Keith Lee, Kirk Franklin, Mojo Brookzz, and Desi Banks. One specific interaction from the episode has begun making the rounds online, and fans aren't feeling great about it.

This interaction involved 2 Chainz and Keith Lee. For those who may be unaware, Lee is a famous food reviewer. He went viral reviewing mom-and-pop restaurants around the United States. When he leaves a good review, the business is flooded with customers, and it can completely change lives.

However, Lee is also aware of his fame and how some restaurants will roll out the red carpet for him. This can alter the level of service and also alter the final review. Therefore, Lee has started the practice of sending family members into the restaurant before him to see if they will be treated the same way.

After some negative reviews surrounding 2 Chainz's restaurants, the rapper wanted to ask Lee about what the problem was. When Lee stated that it had everything to do with the inconsistent service, 2 Chainz pushed back. He made the argument that famous people always get special treatment, and that it's an inconvenient fact of life. 2 Chainz also said he's worked too hard in life to wait 40 minutes to get into a restaurant.

The conversation then went into taste buds and whether or not Keith Lee has the background to be able to give his opinion on certain restaurants. Lee was adamant that he has a deep love for the art of cooking, and cooks for his family all the time.

As for those watching the episode, 2 Chainz received quite a bit of backlash, with some feeling as though the rapper's mentality was a betrayal of what he's stood for in the past. Below, you can see what folks had to say online.
