ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith Gets In Twitter Back & Forth With Ex-Coworker Jemele Hill (TWEETS)

Nobody saw this coming.

On Thursday, Jemele Hill, who is a former colleague of Stephen A. Smith, took to Twitter and responded to a video that of Smith saying him and hip-hop mogul Jay-Z were partially responsible for Colin Kaepernick’s NFL workout last month.

“Arguably ESPN’s most prominent talent admitting to help orchestrate a workout for Colin Kaepernick … yeah let me go back to minding my business. Guards!” Hill tweeted.

That seemed like a shot at Stephen A. Smith, depending on how you want to look at it.

Her next tweet definitely seemed like a dig at Smith.

Stephen A. Smith saw that tweet and promptly fired back at his friend.

1) I have a name. 2) It’s your colleague & friend….whose known you for YEARS! 3) What I’ve said on many occasions on @FirstTake & ESPN Radio: that I was behind the scenes speaking to ppl in support of getting Kaepernick back into NFL. So what’s the problem now? Happy Holidays! https://t.co/rvLHQpSvJ6

Hill elected to bow out after that response.

Back in 2018, Hill received a $5 million buyout to leave ESPN after joining the Disney-owned giant back in 2006 as a columnist.
