As an Emmy award-winning producer, I would assume you know how dangerous labels, especially false labels, can be in the industry or in life in general. For me personally, that is extremely detrimental and I don’t like that. I don’t play with that.”

“I do not mean any harm, but I do not appreciate the labels you put on me”: Keith Lee stated that he did not appreciate GylliWilli’s claims about him stealing her show.

Keith Lee started his video by claiming that there were so many comments on GylliWilli’s video where people asked questions and speculated if the “Thief TikToker” was Keith. However, Keith clarified his stance and said:

“I have not once stolen, or taken anything from anybody. Everything that has been given to has been from god. And I know there would be people who will say why did you respond to this. Labels in industry and labels in life are extremely detrimental.”

Replying to the producer point by point, Keith clarified that:

“I had anywhere between two million and three million followers at the time she reached out to me, of course, I wasn’t in disguise at that point. I personally was able to walk into restaurants and be treated the exact same, because not a lot of restaurants recognized me. Now, with 9.6 million followers it’s almost impossible, that’s why I going into disguise.”

Furthermore, he also talked about how he did not “appreciate the label.” He said:

“I do not mean any harm, but I do not appreciate the labels you put on me.”

Also, with 9.3 million views, as of this writing, the video was captioned:

“At the time of this recording, I don’t even have a show signed (not to say I won’t in the future) so these accusations are based solely on my content. Thank you in advance for clearing this up, God bless you.”
