2 Chainz Keeps It Low-Key At Cincinnati Steakhouse After Keith Lee Kerfuffle

2 Chainz made a quiet weekend stop in downtown Cincinnati, where a local steakhouse turned the rapper’s Saturday dinner into a public welcome.

WLWT reported that the Atlanta artist ate at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse on November 7. The restaurant shared a photo from the visit and thanked him for coming through.

“It was a pleasure welcoming you in and sharing a great evening with you,” the restaurant wrote.

The photo showed 2 Chainz dressed casually in a black hoodie and sweatpants.

The dinner also came days after 2 Chainz was already in the middle of a national conversation about restaurants and celebrity treatment.

AllHipHop reported on November 4 that he apologized after his disagreement with food critic Keith Lee over the perks famous guests receive.

2 Chainz said his words had not matched his intent and that he regretted offending people. The original discussion on Kirk Franklin’s Den of Kings contrasted the service celebrities receive with Lee’s practice of sending relatives into a restaurant before staff knows a widely followed critic is coming.

Nothing in the Cincinnati visit suggests the two events were connected. Still, the timing put 2 Chainz back inside the same subject from the other side of the table: a restaurant publicly celebrating a famous customer after hosting him.
