LONDON: Social media star Lord Aleem was reportedly kicked out of the KSI versus Tommy Fury boxing fight on Saturday for wearing a “Free Palestine” T-shirt.
Aleem Iqbal, who boasts over 1 million followers across online platforms, took to X to share a video of his confrontation with security guards at the Manchester venue.
“Why can’t I wear it?” Iqbal is heard telling the guard, who makes several attempts to cover the camera recording the incident with his hand.
The socialite said on Sunday that he was given the option to either take the tee off or leave the venue.
He later posted a video on Instagram showing him being forcibly removed by four security guards.
In the caption, he pointed out that guards had not raised an issue when social media celeb Logan Paul was waving the US flag in the boxing ring.
Several users on X shared their reactions to the incident.
“This is so wild. Huge respect for standing your ground,” @Zoshhh posted.
Another user, @Tawanda009, said: “I thought we lived in a free and democratic country.”
