ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith Slams Serena Williams for “Trolling” Ex Drake With Super Bowl Cameo
Stephen A. Smith does not have what it takes to be Serena Williams’ man.
After the tennis legend made an eyebrow-raising cameo in Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime performance—where the Grammy winner performed his Drake diss track “Not Like Us”—the ESPN analyst admitted he couldn’t be in Alexis Ohanian’s shoes. (Serena dated Drake in the early 2010s.)
“If I’m your husband, I’m thinking, ‘Why are you up there trolling him—trolling your ex?’” Stephen posited during a Feb. 10 episode of the First Take podcast. “If I’m married, and my wife is going to troll her ex—go back to his ass. Because clearly you don’t belong with me. What you worried about him for—and you with me?”
Stephen—who later pointed out that SZA, who also performed with Kendrick, also dated Drake—added, “Everybody knows that she and Drake were together at one time, and it seemed like everyone wanted to get their lick.”
Meanwhile, Ryan Clark pushed back on Stephen’s take saying, “If you with Serena Williams, you’re going to be a kept man anyway—don’t start that.”
