This is Jaden Smith, famous for being Will Smith's son, a vegan and something of a philosopher on Twitter.
Jaden was staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto for a shoot with Cara Delevingne until, the other week, he had a life-threatening run in with a pancake.

But Jaden's little rant didn't have quite the impact he might have hoped for. Nobody rushed to his defence or expressed concern for his health. Instead, the Twitterverse accused him of acting like a spoiled brat.
I'm not sure you understand how hotels work. YOU voluntarily go to them. They shouldn't have to put you on any sort of list. Just don't go

Guess what else is usually in pancakes? Milk and eggs. Do yourself a favor and ask when you order food.

So, things you have learned today: Ricotta is cheese and hotels have check out times. Keep growing and learning, little dude. ?

In the end, the hotel joined in the trolling fest too, even getting a little publicity out of Jaden's outburst:

That said, the 'Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!' drama-queen tone of his tweets is a little OTT. And it undoubtedly perpetuates the idea that vegans and people with food allergies are a bunch of crybabies.
These types of reactions can end up being counterproductive, causing many establishments to write off such customers as being impossible – and therefore not even worth trying – to please.
Nonetheless, that doesn't justify a situation in which a customer makes a specific food request (due to health, religious or ethical concerns) which is then disregarded by the waiter or chef.
