ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith is under fire again for something he said on television, but this time it doesn’t have to do with sports.
On his Wednesday appearance on the Sherri show, Smith admitted he was excited for Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show this year, but he also wishes a different artist was performing: Beyoncé.
“There’s one thing she’s not, she ain’t Beyoncé,” Smith said, met with gasps and boos from the crowd. “The only reason I brought up Beyoncé is because Beyoncé recently performed at the Super Bowl.”
Needless to say, Rihanna fans were not happy with Smith’s comments.
