Sports fans like to have debates in regard to certain players. We have had LeBron vs Kobe, LeBron vs Jordan, Ronaldo vs Messi, Manning vs Brady, and much more. But when it comes to certain celebrities, they should consider staying in their lane.
ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith learned that the hard way when he decided to chime in on Beyoncé vs Rihanna on Sherri Shepherd’s Fox daytime talk show. With Rihanna performing for the Super Bowl halftime show next month, SAS thought it would be a good idea to say this.
“Ladies and gentlemen, she’s a lot of things — she’s spectacular, actually — and congratulations on new mama-hood,” Smith said of the Fenty founder, before pausing and drawing applause from the crowd. “There’s one thing she’s not: She ain’t Beyoncé.”

Smith ended up getting flamed and roasted on Twitter by Rihanna stans, and even some Beyhive stans since it doesn't seem like there is animosity between the two superstar singers.
Thus, Smith apologized:
Hilarious.
However, some of this seems to be an overreaction. But I'm going to stay out of that...
