Beyoncé and Rihanna schedule a private meeting with Stephen A. Smith to confront him about his negative comments (video)

Stephen A. Smith claims JAY-Z called him after he took to a talk show comparing wife Beyoncé to his Roc Nation artist, Rihanna.

Ahead of Riri’s 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show, Smith shared his opinion that the Caribbean artist wouldn’t hold a candle to Beyoncé’s previous showings.

“A month later, Hov and I were on the phone,” Smith revealed on the Connect the Dots podcast Monday (March 4). “Hov was like, ‘My dawg, you family, that’s family. 

That’s too close to say that.’ I said, ‘I didn’t know.’ He said, ‘I know.’ Done!

“In other words, it’s a business, it’s a part of it, you don’t know how she’ll receive it, etc. etc. etc. That’s all he had to say. I appreciated that.”

“I don’t want to say I’m not excited, she’s fantastic, that’s not where I’m going with this,” he began while discussing the news of Riri’s performance. 

“Ladies and gentlemen, she’s a lot of things, she’s spectacular actually — and congratulations on the new mama hood — there’s one thing she’s not, she ain’t Beyoncé.”

“Beyoncé performed, but she’s had her time,” host Sherri Shepherd responded, to applause. “Now there’s Rihanna, Rihanna’s coming back, she’s got that extra umph of motherhood, I like Rihanna.”

Rihanna’s 2023 showing resulted in the reveal of her second pregnancy. She was followed by Usher, who took to the stage for the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show.
