In June, he suffered a backlash after taking the stage at FishLipz Bar and Grill in Smithville, TN, and mocked spectators who dared to record his set. The “Biker Boyz” actor reportedly shouted “f — k your iPhone” before using the other “f” word to mock his crowd.
Two days later, the performer, real name Robert Ritchie, took to Twitter to address the situation, where he remained without apologizing in his use of the insult.
