Man! Never say this coming, Kristen Saban as a Fast and Furious girlie. But will you believe if we say that even after being the daughter of the greatest man to coach a football team, can still be star-struck? At this time, nostalgia drives Saban’s daughter to take it out on her Instagram handle. Kristen would be blaming things left and right as to why she wasn’t there with Nick Saban, when he was meeting Tej Parker, or even better known as Ludacris. That’s ludicrous, right?

Although retired from gridiron, doesn’t seem to shy away from giving moments like these. “2000’s Kristen weeping” cried Saban’s princess daughter after posting a picture of her dad meeting the ‘Baby’ ft Justin Beiber rapper, a duo we never knew we needed. Bet that Ludacris himself would be the ex-Bama coach’s fan, but well, that’s for another day. She has already posted the picture on her feed too. Nothing less is expected from a 2 Fast 2 Furious rapper/actor’s fan girl. Demanding an album drop to be her next surprise.
For Kristen, it’s a clash of worlds: her dad’s powerhouse reputation in the college football arena and her own love for a staple of 2000s pop culture. Not to forget, Saban has been a force to be reckoned with in college football for decades. Well, as for her daughter, it’s not every day she see’s her dad standing next to someone the rap icon. For any F&F fan, especially one who grew up in the 2000s like Kristen Saban, seeing your dad link up with Tej Parker would be a pure drift into nostalgia.
Her playful frustration was all over her Instagram. It’s not every day that you see a Saban publicly asking for music from a rap star. And given Ludacris’s status as both a Grammy-winning rapper and a Fast & Furious icon, it’s no surprise that Kristen’s inner fangirl jumped out. The idea of Kristen looking up to a rapper while her father, who used to SEC, is hilarious and heartwarming. For a man who’s known for his serious demeanor and relentless work ethic, seeing Nick Saban next to Ludacris feels like worlds colliding in the best way possible. Sure, this was iconic, but don’t mistake, as this to be the only Saban-father-daughter moment.

Kristen Saban backed her father by schooling the LSU Gymnast Dunne
What’s your perspective on:
Kristen Saban missing Ludacris—Is it a bigger loss for her or the rapper himself?
Have an interesting take?
Kristen Saban recently fired back with a bit of sass after LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne made a cheeky comment about Nick Saban’s view on SEC venues. It was a subtle dig at Nick Saban’s previous comments suggesting Vanderbilt’s stadium is one of the easiest SEC venues to play in. “Someone once said that Vanderbilt was the easiest place to play in the SEC, but not today,” Dunne said. “I’m going with Vanderbilt.” Dunne’s jab didn’t go unnoticed by Alabama fans, and who else but the daughter Saban jumped in with a reply, playfully defending her dad’s status and legacy.
Kristen, ever loyal to Alabama and her dad’s winning ways, responded to Dunne’s remarks with a vibe that said, “You don’t mess with the king without facing the kingdom.” She got back the No. 2 NIL star after the pre LSU-Alabama College Gameday event. Posting a fact on her Instagram that only one person amongst the entire crew picked, Alabama over the Tigers that day, and it was Nick Saban. Alright, his one prediction was wrong but Bama’s 42-13 saved their former coach’s reputation in the best possible manner. She exclaimed in her story, “Duh,” taking shots at the LSU star gymnast.
