Detroit Rapper Kash Doll Publicly send Strong message Urging Za’Darius Smith to Rejoin the Lions

A Courtside Campaign Goes Viral

In a live video that’s now spreading across social media, Kash Doll passionately called on Smith to return to the Motor City:
“Oh my God, Za’Darius, can you please come back to the Lions? Please?! Yes, yes — we love you! Come back! Come back!”
The fans around her ate it up, clearly echoing her sentiment. Smith, sitting nearby, responded with a playful joke:
“You gonna help pay my salary?”
Although said in jest, the interaction showed there’s still a strong connection between Smith and Detroit.

The Lions’ Stance So Far

Earlier in the offseason, Lions GM Brad Holmes mentioned the team had spoken with Smith’s representation, though those conversations have quieted since the league’s annual meetings. However, Holmes didn’t shut the door completely, and the Lions haven’t made any big additions at EDGE since.
With Aidan Hutchinson back to full strength, adding another veteran pass-rusher like Smith could give the defense a serious boost.

Detroit’s Unique Way of Recruiting

From diehard fans to hometown celebrities like Kash Doll, Detroit wears its heart on its sleeve. The city has never been shy about supporting its players or making their voices heard — and this is just the latest example.
Even if Za’Darius Smith doesn’t return, there’s no denying the love is real. And with Kash Doll leading the charge, Detroit’s message is loud and clear:
Za’Darius, it’s time to come home.
