In April 2022, Reid courted further controversy when he posted a negative review of a bar in St Kevin's Arcade, owned by his property company, criticising the bar's decision to continue using the My Vaccine Pass to screen patrons following the removal of the government requirement for hospitality venues to use the pass. The local Member of Parliament, Chlöe Swarbrick, commented: "I’ve seen a lot of things in my time, but it’s a first for commercial landlord negging his tenant who are doing their best to keep our community safe". Reid said that it was ironic that what was once an "anti-establishment and anti-government" punk rock venue was now "clinging so religiously to an outdated government mode of social exclusion", and he noted that he had written off over $2 million in rent owed by small business owners in the Auckland CBD. Reid continues to be involved in music, as vocalist and drummer of rock trio Capital Theatre, releasing a single, "People" in 2021. The band received a $10,000 grant from NZ On Air to produce the music video for "People".
