Creator commotion

Did Keith Lee find something wriggling in his sushi? When the TikTok food reviewer visited Fob Sushi in Seattle, some viewers claimed to notice something moving in his sashimi. Though the restaurant initially chalked up the incident to “elasticity” in the fish, it did temporarily close down to protect the health of its customers. Lee didn’t offer a strong opinion on the rumors, but the ripple effects of his visit are a reminder that he’s the most influential food critic around.

Each week, we handpick a selection of stories to give you a snapshot of trends, updates, business moves, and more from around the creator industry. This week, Kai Cenat’s Twitch sub-a-thon has stirred up drama, and the presidential election has sent some stocks soaring.

Creator commotion

The unwitting star of Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon is Halle Bailey’s infant son. The younger half of Chloe x Halle was initially incensed that ex-partner Ddg brought their child Halo onto Cenat’s blockbuster stream, though she later said she “overreacted.” Halle may be ahead of her time; there’s a lot of talk right now about the morality of children’s on-camera appearances.

Casey Neistat’s David Dobrik doc may never see the light of day. Neistat is conflicted about a project that started as a celebration of Dobrik’s career but was complicated by numerous controversies orbiting the former Vlog Squad member.

McDonald’s is rolling out a new menu item in the United States, and the chain is enlisting a Twitch superstar as one of the item’s launch partners. Kai Cenat will use his stream to provide taste tests and reactions for the new Chicken Big Mac, which arrives across U.S. McDonald’s locations on October 10.

Cenat’s blockbuster streams make him one of the biggest draws on Twitch. As the Bronx native’s star has risen, he has been offered sponsorships from major consumer brands. He already showed up alongside Snoop Dogg in a T-Mobile commercial, and his latest corporate partner is the world-famous Golden Arches.

To promote the Chicken Big Mac — a poultry-forward version of a fast food classic — McDonald’s teamed up with Cenat to solicit “unfiltered reactions” from the streamer and his “famous friends.” Cenat introduced the partnership with a brief video on his surging YouTube channel,...

National Quesadilla Day is providing Chipotle with an opportunity to deepen its relationships in the creator world. For the September 23 celebration, the Tex-Mex chain is dropping buy-one, get-one codes and sharing the go-to orders preferred by three prominent TikTokers.

Shari Dyonne, Dylan McArthur, and Anthony Hernandez will deliver 10,000 text-to-win codes, which their fans will be able to use to claim their Bogo quesadillas. Each promotion will come with the corresponding creator’s favorite Chipotle combo.

The creators who partnered with Chipotle are part of TikTok’s burgeoning foodie scene. McArthur is known for Chipotle “mukbang” videos in which he wolfs down massive burritos on camera, while Hernandez shares recipes as part of a broader focus on lifestyle content. Dyonne is a chef herself, though she has been known to kick back and order in Chipotle from time to time.

The public ticket sale for Oasis’ 2025 reunion tour sparked memories of the fiasco surrounding Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” in 2022, as thousands of fans faced a myriad of technical issues and other obstacles that ultimately prevented them from securing tickets.

Tickets to Oasis’ first concerts in 16 years went on sale Saturday through Ticketmaster. In the days leading up to the on-sale, fans were required to sign up for a pre-sale lottery in order for a chance to purchase tickets. It’s estimated that only 2.3% of fans who signed up for the lottery ended up receiving a purchase code. However, those lucky enough to advance to the public on-sale weren’t guaranteed a ticket.

During Saturday’s public on-sale, fans reported waiting in queues for up to three hours, only to eventually see Ticketmaster’s website “crash” or redirect to an “Error 503” page. Other fans, such as British politician Zarah Sultana,...

CupcakKe’s crude, witty, and extra-explicit lyrics are back. On Monday, the rap star released the music video for “Grilling N—-s II,” as she celebrated the release of Dauntless Manifesto, her first album in over six years.

The video opens with CupcakKe dressed as a dominatrix (whip and all) in a surgery room before cutting off a man’s phallus and later grilling it like a glizzy at a pool party. CupcakKe drops bars — referencing Mariah Carey, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, and influencer Keith Lee — by the pool while dressed in all-pink.

Early on a cool Los Angeles afternoon, while most of the city is still deciding what’s for lunch, one of the country’s fastest-rising food critics is in a Studio City parking lot, absolutely housing a spicy double cheeseburger.

“My eyes are getting [watery],” Keith Lee says, laughing as he works his way through the bun, pausing to hold out a thick slice of jalapeno to the iPhone propped up on his dashboard.

There’s no graceful way to eat in a car, but Lee has figured out a rhythm...

Issa Rae‘s new company wants to hook up creators and brands for “deeper relationships” beyond the usual influencer-sponsor connection.

Ensemble has already built a network of 50 creators including Drew Afualo, Leo González, and Mark Phillips, and is working with brands including Pepsi, Chili’s, and Popeyes.

Per Business Insider, Ensemble is founded by Rae but is meant to be separate from her public persona as a much-lauded writer, actress, and producer. The company is led by a group of advertising vets–Ian Schafer as cofounder and president, Matt Berger as head of revenue, and Keith Lee as head of revenue operations.

Montrel McKay, the president of development and production at Rae’s studio Hoorae, told Bi the pitch for Ensemble is that it works closely with creators to help them package their content for brands.

“The proposition is that we have deeper relationships with the partners,” he said. “A lot...

Rapper Cardi B set out to test her foodie limits and had instant regret. She recently shared a TikTok video of herself trying balut, a fertilised duck egg dish popular in the Philippines. The rapper, who has ventured in the food space with her spiked whipped cream brand Whipshots, started her food tasting video as she paid an homage to TikTok’s food critic Keith Lee, reports People magazine.

“I’ve been seeing this for a long time, it’s called balut. I got it, let’s try it and rate it from 1-10,” she said, copying Lee’s well-known TikTok intro. “This egg is huge! Like this egg is giving two yolks.”

However, before she took a bite, she popped pills including Pepto Bismol to “protect the stomach.”

“I have a very sensitive stomach,” she said, quoted by People. “Now, let’s start it off.”

“If you’re a real Bardigang,...

TikTok has recapped an eventful year on its platform. The app known for short-form videos has shared a year-end recap that highlights girl dinner, Keith Lee, and everything in between.

On TikTok, the year-end rundown differs from similar lists compiled by rivals like YouTube. On the Google-owned platform, MrBeast‘s multi-year run as Top Creator suggests that a site-wide culture still exists. But on TikTok, the results look a little different. The top video of 2023 was a makeup video from creator dollievision, and if you’re not into cosmetics, you may not have seen it. But that didn’t stop dollievision from pulling in 37.5 million likes on her viral smash.

For the second year in a row, Instagram is drawing attention to some of its most impactful Reels stars. The Meta-owned platform has highlighted 24 tastemakers — including Keith Lee, Jesser, Fuslie, Katie Feeney, and Landen Purifoy — by publishing its 2023 Creators of Tomorrow list.

The Creators of Tomorrow are separated into five categories. Short-form innovators like Jesser and Katie Feeney are two of the names in the “Ig Besties” category, though YouTube might have an opinion about that. Lee can be found among a quintet of creators who are “Raising the Bar” with their accomplishments. Lee’s influence over the food world has become so strong that his visit to Atlanta sent shockwaves through the local dining scene.

Purifoy, a musical creator who runs one of the most-watched channels in the world, is one of four Creators of Tomorrow in the “Unfiltered Creativity” category. Instagram rounds out its list with a rundown...

When Keith Lee visits major U.S. cities, his 14.5 million TikTok followers expect him to provide unbiased reviews of trendy restaurants. Lee’s trip to Atlanta offered exactly that — plus a lot more. The food critic’s takes on local dining customs have ignited a debate about Atlanta food culture and sparked a conversation about the power of the “Keith Lee effect.”

Lee, a former Mma fighter, has gained widespread influence thanks to his honest opinions, his no-nonsense rating system, and his insistence that he should be treated like a normal restaurant patron. His namesake effect refers to the traffic and sales boosts that go to the eateries he endorses. After Lee teamed with Chipotle on a special creator menu, the chain’s sales went through the roof.

Since breaking out on TikTok, Lee has taken his show on the road by visiting trendy establishments in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles,...

Keith Lee has been known for his straightforward and blunt food reviews on TikTok — content that’s built him a following 14.5 million deep, and dozens of small business owners have credited him with saving their restaurants. But when Lee and his family made a trip to Atlanta last week for a food tour, drama immediately sparked larger conversations around the city’s food scene, which has become known for its restrictive rules and long wait times. So when Lee pulled up looking to try and rate some food, he found...

Chipotle‘s recent TikTok-inspired menu additions led to two of its biggest digital sales days of all time.

The famously creator-friendly burrito chain put the Fajita Quesadilla on its permanent menu in March, after TikToker Alexis Frost (2.5 million followers) posted a “hack” video where she added Chipotle’s fajita veggie mix–aka peppers and onions–to its default steak quesadilla.

Her video got more than 30 million views and, according to Chipotle, generated more than 47,000 comments and 69,000 shares of “viral TikTok content” related to the (at the time) off-menu item.

@alexis.frost @alexis.frost this has been one of my faves ever since it was suggested . #mrsfrost #chipotle #quesadilla #foodie #foodtok #fastfood ♬ mario sound – mandycap

Chipotle responded by updating its menu to let customers add fajita veggies to any quesadilla for free. It also added the option to get its honey-chipotle vinaigrette with any quesadilla order. That option was inspired by TikToker Keith Lee,...

Welcome back to another review of Aew Dark: Elevation, which features nine matches this week and plenty of Canadian talent. We’ve got regulars Paul Wight and Matt Menard on commentary as usual. So let’s get into the review!

Match #1: Skye Blue def. Tfa (Taryn from Accounting)

My Thoughts: This was a pretty decent and competitive opener for this week’s show and both women delivered throughout the match. Great to see Tfa get some exposure via Aew too.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Jake Hager def. Adam Knight

My Thoughts: Adam Knight looked like he might give Jake Hager a run for his money, especially given how competitive the previous match was, but no. This was a squash of the highest order with Hager eventually hitting Knight with a Vader Bomb to get the win!

My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #3: Emi Sakura def. Zoe Sager...

For as long as Chipotle has existed, patrons of the fast-casual chain have attempted to “hack” its menu. The popularity of unusual burrito orders has only increased since the advent of TikTok, where viral Chipotle hacks have received billions of views.

The chain is now acceding to consumer trends by adding a TikTok-approved hack to its official menu. Customers can now order a “Fajita Quesadilla Hack” with their choice of meat. The dish can also be turned into a “Keithadilla” by adding chipotle-honey vinaigrette and sour cream on the side.

The Fajita Quesadilla hack was popularized by Alexis Frost, who gave high marks to the improvised menu item after sharing it on TikTok last December. Another short-form foodie, Keith Lee, improved upon Frost’s original idea by adding his favorite pairing of Chipotle condiments — and thus, the Keithadilla was born.
