Quarterback Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly Stafford, is no stranger to stirring up headlines, but this time, rapper turned sports podcaster Cam’ron blamed her for crossing a line again.
The rumors around Matthew Stafford’s future with the Los Angeles Rams have been making rounds on the internet for a few days now, but her recent comments on social media regarding Cooper Kupp’s possible trade have sparked fresh controversy.
Rapper Turned Sports Podcaster Cam’ron Criticizes Kelly Stafford for Supporting Cooper Kupp
During an appearance on the “Come And Talk 2 Me” podcast, Cam’ron took a harsh stance on Kelly Stafford while claiming that she’s making her husband’s contract negotiations unnecessarily complicate
“Nobody was talking about this until she jumped on Twitter, acting like Cooper Kupp was her man. Meanwhile, her husband is the one in contract talks, and now it’s a big issue.”
Cam’ron’s frustration is based on Kelly Stafford’s vocal support of Kupp, particularly when she questioned why the Rams would consider trading him. To be fair, Kupp is a key part of the Rams’ offense, and it is understandable why Kelly Stafford, as someone invested in the team, would react emotionally. However, should she be blamed for being too outspoken?
This isn’t the first time Kelly Stafford has been caught in the middle of public backlash. Her words have sparked controversies in the recent past, like when she casually admitted to dating one of Matthew Stafford’s backup quarterbacks in college just to make him jealous. However, being criticized for standing by her husband and his current team is a sign of nothing but loyalty.
Cam’ron, however, sees it differently. He believes her public outcry about Kupp’s potential departure is only making Stafford’s situation tougher.
“Yo lady, I’m pretty sure Cooper Kupp has a girlfriend, wife, or fiancée who can stick up for him,” he added. “I get that it’s an important piece because your husband needs to throw the ball to receivers, but come on.”
Kelly Stafford has been candid about her frustrations, even discussing the Rams’ situation on her podcast “The Morning After.” She argued that since the team was just one play away from the NFC Championship, trading away Kupp didn’t make much sense.
While some might agree that she should tread carefully when speaking on team matters, it’s also worth asking if the team deserves outspokenness and support from outside. After all, love and loyalty go hand in hand, and what’s a sport like football and a league like the NFL without some sheer fandom?
