Dan Bilzerian publicly “empties” Salt Bae with… facts: He’s weird and dumb

THE Salt Bae in recent days he has been featured in many articles, but not because of the famous way he puts salt on his meats. After the awkward moment with Lionel Messi, Mr Dan Bilzerian brings the chef’s name back into the news by exposing him publicly.

In a video he shared on his personal social media account, Dan Bilzerian or his “king” Instagram as he calls himself, shows that Salt Bae has been sending him pictures of himself since… 2015.

Bilzerian, as can be seen from the clip, has never responded to him, but the Turkish chef has continued to send him photos and selfies for years. Bilzerian captioned the video: “Everybody Says Salt Bae Is Weird, I’ve Known It For Years”while at the end it completes “what the fuck…stupid”.

Watch the video

It all started with a video from the World Cup final, where the Turkish chef pulls Lionel Messi to take a photo together. After many attempts, he manages to get the desired photo but the reactions caused were many. The Turkish chef may have finally managed to convince the top footballer for a selfie, but he failed to convince his followers that the Argentina captain knew him.

So later, he uploaded on his personal Instagram account a video of Messi’s visit to his restaurant in Dubai in 2018 to show that the two are “close”. In fact, on that visit, the then star of Barcelona had with him the then midfielder of Manchester United, Paul Pogba, whom the Turkish chef took special care of.

But instead of appeasing his followers, who criticized him both for chasing Messi and for holding the trophy alone, which according to FIFA, only a very select group is allowed to touch and hold of people, which includes former FIFA World Cup winners and heads of state, it angered them more.

“A video from 2018 won’t save you, man“, one of his followers tells him and asks him to control his ego. “You tried to force your way in and Messi showed you your limits. You lifted the trophy like you were part of the team and bit into their medals. You have to know your limits man”, comments another. “Now you’re trying to convince us that you’re friends,” adds another follower of the Turkish chef.
