The allegations surfaced late Friday night when an X user, identified as Tony Martinez, took to the platform to claim his wife works for the Baltimore Ravens’ ‘Marching Ravens’ band, and directly confronted Smith in a post, writing: “My wife works for the Marching Ravens @Ravens She met Steve Smith Sr at work. Steve Smith has been fu***ng my wife. I got receipts, I got a lot more homie.”
