In the video, Bell is still inside the club and says he has been told he needs to remove his hat or leave the building.
“They’re trying to kick me out y’all because I’ve got my hat on,” Bell says. “I got my hat on, and they say they don’t want me in here. That’s crazy. I’m in here watching a fight.”
Bell tells the camera that he is waiting to see what happens but that the hat is not coming off.
“This hat ain’t coming off. It’s stuck. This sh-t’s glued,” he says.
Bell tells another person that he was told it was the owner who wanted him to remove the hat or leave.
(UPDATE) they said “hat has to come off, or you have to leave sir.” …

In a second video, Bell is outside the club and says he was kicked out of the building.
He implies he was told he can’t wear anything political in the club.
“Why? Donald Trump is the president of the United States,” Bell asserts.
I’m leaving the country if Kamala Harris wins

Prior to the election, Bell posted on social media that he would leave the country if Trump lost.
In October, Bell spoke at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania with former Pittsburgh Steelers teammate Antonio Brown.
