On July 30, 2022, the Super3 IG account responded to a fan comment in a very rude way. The wording and grammar make it sound very similar to Lexus. This was compared to how Lexus claimed he would forever support [[Xie Yihua]] in a Douyin comment just a few hours later.

Lexus uses the tag "short game chef" a lot. He even has it in the description of his Chinese socmed accounts. This is actually a title used by golfer Parker McLachlin, even as his website address https://www.shortgamechef.com/.
