In the video, Kelley tells patrons not to bring twerking into his business.

“All this twerking s**t, don’t bring it here because we’re a restaurant. If you wanna do it, get the f**k out my restaurant. Don’t do it again. I don’t want to hear it if you don’t like it, get out because I don’t need your money.”

Toward the end, he curses out a customer, saying that twerking would get them thrown out of the restaurant.

The video received nearly four million views and a lot of conversation on Twitter.

I’m just…wow. Ridiculous. Idc who you are, the way he popped off, you don’t talk to anyone like that. Especially people paying for overpriced chicken and waffles.
