Stephen A. Smith teases new episode of eponymous show discussing 'piece of s***' Jason Whitlock after sports media pair reignited their beef this week

Stephen A. Smith has teased a new episode of his eponymous show discussing 'fat b***ard' Jason Whitlock after the pair reignited their feud this week.

Smith defended his memoir on Tuesday after his former ESPN colleague Whitlock penned a column claiming details of the book do not 'add up.'

And on Wednesday, Smith promised to go scorched earth on his rival in a new episode of the 'Stephen A. Smith Show.'

'Today is the day I finally speak my mind about that no good fat b***ard,' he wrote on X. 'You know who I’m talking about. Recording now. You will want to see this.' 

Smith later shared a short clip from the upcoming episode, in which he called Whitlock a 'piece of s***t.' 

Whitlock then responded to the tweet, 'Can't wait.'

In a column for the conservative website, The Blaze, Whitlock claimed Smith's memoir was 'farcical,' taking issue with the ESPN personality's claim that he was recruited by Winston-Salem State to play basketball despite playing the sport for only one year in high school.

Whitlock this week criticized Smith's memoir and slammed it as 'farcical' in a column

Smith responded, 'There are people out there lying and actually putting out there that I didn't write my book,' Smith said of 'Straight Shooter: A Memoir of Second Chances and First Takes.'

'I can assure you, so help me God, I wrote my book,' he continued. 'It's my memoir. It's my life story. I wasn't leaving that in the hands of other people. So, people who say that, it's just lies.'

The comments come after Smith appeared to insult Whitlock in October, again referring to a 'fat b***ard' who he did not name. 

'There's a lot of people out there who want me to address other names. There's one particular person who will remain nameless but I will not deny it - I think he is a fat, no-good b***ard who I despise to the core,' Smith said.

He added that the unnamed rival was the 'seed of the devil, wishing nothing but black folks harm.' 

Of Smith's 'fat ba***ard' remarks, Whitlock wrote, 'The barbs tickled me. They also made me take an even deeper interest in how someone with such limited journalistic skills became the face of the worldwide leader in sports.'
