Keith Lee and Chad Johnson are sparring against each other. Their chosen battleground- social media. Johnson, the former Bengals WR got in a tussle with the MMA giant. The duo got into a war earlier this month over some restaurant criticizing banter. Starting from the WR, Johnson called out the MMA star for reviewing and critiquing the food chains. Speaking on the NightCap show with Shannon Sharpe, the WR was miffed.

Chad’s choice of words and the entire episode of taking potshots at the fighter didn’t go down well. As expected, Lee wasn’t impressed with the banter and chipped in with his harsh statements. He recently posted a video calling out Johnson and even showing who’s the real boss! Sitting in his car, the MMA young star even remarked that Johnson had no idea who he was talking to! Things for now seem ugly and the potshots might keep on coming!

Living in an era of social media gives the users the freedom. The freedom to express personal opinions and emotions. Chad Johnson earlier this week opined his views on Keith Lee reviewing the restaurants in his area. After Johnson pointed out that he doesn’t know what Lee is doing and is highly unlikeable. Lee got back at the WR in his way. He made a video of sitting in his car and giving an earful to the ex-NFL star, “To me, it seems like you’ve no idea who I am and that’s completely ok. The main point was about my qualifications. I’ll be honest with you, I’ve been a professional fighter for the last 10 years.”

While it didn’t sound that serious Keith did give off a threatening vibe. Things might turn disastrous and even go down an ugly path if the pact isn’t made soon! The TikTok sensation further took his disdain to another level. While the MMA star did cite an example regarding the funding of cancer treatment for one restaurant owner.

To the viewers’ surprise, even Johson’s daughter Jicyra stands for Keith Lee. The Bengals former WR expressed his sentiments saying, “My daughter got me together, my daughter text me, like, my daughter hit me, like, ‘Listen, we Team Keith Lee over here.’ … You know, when your daughter gets you together, yeah, you ain’t gon’ win that.” Johnson does find himself amidst a wave of sexuality hitting him hard after the recent NightCap video.
