Entrepreneur and social media personality, Aleem Iqbal, known on social media as "Lord Aleem," was reportedly kicked out from the KSI versus Tommy Fury boxing match Saturday for donning a "Free Palestine" T-shirt.

Iqbal, known for his sizable online following exceeding one million, turned to X to share a video capturing his exchange with security personnel at the Manchester venue, as reported by Arab News.

"Why can’t I wear it?" Iqbal is heard questioning the guard, who repeatedly tries to shield the camera recording the incident.

Sunday, the influencer stated that he was given the ultimatum of removing the shirt or leaving the premises, along with a video that he shared on his social media platforms.

The video showed his forceful removal by four security guards, who escorted him out of the building.

In the caption, he pointed out that no objections were raised when fellow social media figure Logan Paul displayed the US flag in the boxing ring.
