Former Las Vegas Raiders and current New York Giants tight end Darren Waller has released a music video that appears to address his divorce from WNBA and Las Vegas Aces guard Kelsey Plum and social media is having a lot of fun with it.
Waller's music video dropped on Thursday and features a woman who looks to be playing the part of his soon-to-be ex-wife. The song comes about a month after the former couple filed a joint petition for divorce after one year of marriage.
Waller and Plum likely first crossed paths during his days with the Raiders, a team he revived his career with and spent five seasons with in total after overcoming drug addiction issues.

Waller remains under contract with the New York Giants but has been thinking about retiring this offseason, although he has not made his final decision.
Perhaps he'll pursue a career in the music industry when he's done, but he's not off to a great start in that area. I mean, his voice is so heavily auto-tuned he sounds like a robot. It's enough to make Post Malone blush.
As you'd expect, Raiders fans and the rest of social media had plenty of hilarious jokes once the video was revealed. Here's a look at some good ones.
