Watch Stephen A. Smith’s brutal verdict on Darren Waller’s music video following split from Kelsey Plum
Stephen A. Smith didn’t mince his words when he gave his verdict on Darren Waller’s music video, which he released following his divorce from Kelsey Plum.
The New York Giants tight end produced a song – and music video – titled “Who Knew (Her Perspective).” The video, which even featured a Plum lookalike, appeared on social media earlier this week.
Waller is considering retiring from the sport, just over a month after news of his divorce from two-time WNBA champion Plum became public.
Friday, during the latest episode of the Stephen A. Smith Showthe ESPN host played a snippet of the song – and video – for his fans.
Smith was seen with his head in his hands as the song played – until he decided enough was enough.

“Can you please take that out of my ear?” He said and the song continued for a few more seconds.
“Get it out of my ear!” Smith then screamed. “Yeah, I’m yelling at my producers – have you heard what that guy sounds like? You don’t put something like that in someone’s ear.’
He added, “Someone has to say it, so I’m going to say it: Ladies and gentlemen, that shit was so bad, that might be why she left. Gentleman…
‘I’m not joking. I’m just making fun of his voice, not his situation.”
Waller and Plum married in March 2023 before splitting earlier this year
Kansas City Chiefs star Chris Jones was similarly scathing about Waller’s song, responding to the video on Twitter, saying, “This horrible slime.”
Plum announced their divorce last month – after a year of marriage – with an emotional statement.
‘I’m devastated. “I’ve walked through hell for that man, but now I see it’s time to go,” she said.
“God has given me such an incredible life, and I am truly so grateful for the deep love of my family and friends. One day I will tell my story, today is not that day.’
Later in his show, Smith – who has never been married – offered relationship advice to his followers.
