Tyrann Mathieu Has Gotten Death Threats For Calling Will Smith’s Killer A ‘Hating Ass Coward’

After the death of former New Orleans Saints Will Smith, Tyrann Mathieu tweeted that his killer, Cardale Hayes, was a hating ass coward.

While on the Rich Eisen show yesterday Matthieu revealed that he is fearful when he goes to New Orleans and that he has already received death threats from Hayes’ family over his comments on social media

“I think it was one of those situations where he was really at the wrong place at the wrong time, and he bumped into the wrong person,” Mathieu told the Rich Eisen Show. “I know the guy personally and, Rich, it’s not really for me to put his personal business on air. Because when I came out yesterday and called him a coward, I received death threats from guys in New Orleans — from his relatives. And I’m thinking to myself … ‘What do you guys want from me? I’m only here to speak the truth.'”

New Orleans is a scary place, let’s just hope these threats weren’t serious and Matthieu can continue living his life without fear of speaking out against violence.
