Steph Curry has a reputation as one of the nicest guys in the NBA, but the basketball superstar will draw a line in the sand when it comes to disrespectful comments about his wife.
The Golden State Warriors point guard hopped in the comments section when he spotted rapper Killer Mike responding to a video criticizing Steph’s wife of 14 years, Ayesha Curry. TikToker Bookie Woodz posted the video, accusing Ayesha of “embarrassing” her husband by sharing her insecurity over not getting as much attention from men as Steph gets from women. “She wants to go be GloRilla or some sh–,” Woodz says in the TikTok. “Like, we get it, bro. Just go drop an album or some sh–.”

For his part, Killer Mike took to the comments section, writing alongside three laugh-crying emojis: “My n—a said she wanna go be Glo!!! Man Steph doesn’t deserve the embarrassment [for real]. God bless him.”
In his response, Steph Curry said he’s come to expect takes like these from “other clowns,” but thought better of the four-time Grammy-winning Run the Jewels MC.
“@killermike naaaaa not you Mike,” Curry wrote, in a screen shot from The Shade Room. “I’m cool [staying] silent and letting these other clowns have [their] moment! And you’re the worst of them,” he wrote, tagging the original poster Bookie Woodz. “But you’re better than that @killermike. Stay in your lane and let God keep blessing me like he is. We r good over here.”
Steph ended his missive with a peace-sign emoji.
While they first met when they were teenagers, Steph and Ayesha Curry didn’t start dating until 2008 before getting married in 2011. The couple have two daughters (Riley and Ryan) and two sons (Canon and Caius).
