“I wrote the lyrics”: Nick Saban’s daughter Kristen Saban jokes about writing diss track on analyst Paul Finebaum with rapper Ludacris

Nick Saban's daughter Kristen Saban reignited her feud with ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum on Thursday, November 14. She is known to speak her mind and joked about teaming up with rapper Ludacris to pen a diss track targeting CFB analyst Paul Finebaum.

The playful jab came after Kristen shared a picture of Ludacris speaking with her dad on Instagram. A fan speculated in the comments section that the rapper might be collaborating with Coach Saban. He wrote:

“So Coach, tell me more about that diss track you wanted to write about Paul Finebaum…”

Kristen cheekily replied, “I wrote the lyrics.”

The comment quickly gained traction, highlighting Kristen’s signature wit. While her reasons remain unclear, her sentiments are no secret. Nick Saban, now an analyst for ESPN's College GameDay, has had his share of differences with Finebaum over the years. Despite mutual respect, their relationship has occasionally been strained, mirroring Kristen’s stance.

Kristen Saban shares "weird" side of being Nick Saban's daughter

Kristen opened up about the unique challenges of growing up in the shadow of one of college football’s most iconic figures. During a chat on the “Next Round podcast,” Saban’s daughter revealed how the pressure of her father’s fame made her teenage years "weird" and sometimes overwhelming.

"I think it was more difficult in college. I'm still kind of looking back and I don't know why people cared so much what I did or said… People just wanna know everything, and it’s kinda weird," she said.

She admitted that being in the limelight and her own vocal personality often put her under a microscope. Kristen felt the weight of public scrutiny, whether it was her social life or her opinions, and making true friendships was another hurdle.

“It took me a while to kind of figure that out and in high school, maybe, my senior year is when I kinda started realizing what people's intentions were,” she explained.

Kristen, however, said that her high school years helped her identify who truly cared for her versus those drawn to her family’s status.

While she doesn’t post that much about the Alabama football program like she used to when Nick Saban was coach, Kristen bleeds Crimson.
