The tweet read: “Is Kim Kardashian a prostitute? Is Kris Jenner a “pimp?””

This caused a huge uproar on Twitter, forcing the First Take analyst to remove it from his account.

It came as he tried to promote followers into listening to his Las Vegas-based show.

Smith was referencing comments made by controversial pundit Candace Owens.

She has said those comments about Kim and Kris in the past.

But this was not made clear in the original tweet, forcing a huge backlash on Twitter.

Philadelphia Sixers Patrick Beverley replied: “Not cool.

“She has kids. Should not be the tittle [sic] or topic.”

Smith responded to the NBA star and apologized for the mistake.

He said: “Clerical error bro. You are absolutely right.

“That is being corrected right now as we speak.

“And for the record, I don’t think of @KimKardashian that way nor would I ever speak of her or any woman that way, which I’ve stated.

“That’s for checking that issue.”

Earlier this month, Smith dedicated a section of his podcast to talking about Kim dating NFL legend Tom Brady.

He has spoken about her a lot in the past, and has put up images of her in a bikini while doing so.

Smith has become one of the biggest names in sports broadcasting over the past few years.

His podcast goes over pop culture subjects such as celebrity gossip and questions from listeners.
