Overview

• During the live segment, Ohanian asked about Smith’s past “marriage advice,” and Smith deflected to “headlines” before saying he was not qualified to give such counsel.
• Ohanian contrasted his approach to advice by noting he counsels founders because he has built billion‑dollar companies and he highlighted that Smith has not been married.
• The appearance also promoted Athlos NYC, a women’s‑only track and field event featuring 36 athletes competing for cash prizes.
• Smith’s February comments followed Williams’ brief Super Bowl cameo in Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show, where she did a crip walk during “Not Like Us,” a track widely tied to Drake.
• Earlier this year, Ohanian pushed back on criticism from columnist Jason Whitlock on X after Whitlock labeled him “a true beta.”
