Taraji P. Henson had an embarrassing moment at Sunday's BET Awards when she confused YouTuber Jordan Howlett for food critic Keith Lee. The actor had been handing out roses to different audience members when she passed one to Jordan, thinking he was the beloved TikTok critic.
Upon realizing her mistake, Taraji immediately apologized, saying she was "so sorry." And while Keith ultimately accepted her flower, he was later seen throwing it on the ground in a since-deleted TikTok. "Our name will be known in every room it's supposed to be, when it's supposed to be, how it's supposed [to be], with no confusion," he wrote in the post.
"God is amazing." In a follow-up video , Keith clarified, "I am not upset with Taraji P. Henson by any stretch of the imagination.
And not only that, in my opinion, she smoked [the show]." Keith said he only dropped his flower because it didn't feel like it was truly for him. "The reason I did this had nothing to do with Taraji P.
Henson," he stressed. "The reason I did this is that I wholeheartedly believe it wasn't my rose. It wasn't my moment.
It was given to me, but it wasn't mine." "I always say, I don't want nothing that wasn't mine," Keith continued, explaining that his issue rested solely with production, which he said felt "rushed" and not "intentional" and "purposeful." "Never once was I upset that Taraji didn't know who I was," Keith insisted.
"Everything that's for me, will be for me. Everything that's for my family, will be for my family. .
