It’s been a couple of months since San Francisco 49ers linebacker De’Vondre Campbell quit in the middle of a Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. This move led to the 49ers suspending Campbell for the remainder of the season without pay. However — although some fans have likely forgotten about the incident to some capacity — De’Vondre Campbell took to social media to defend his stance on his choices with the 49ers in Week 15.
And he didn’t hold back one bit.
This all began when Campbell returned to social media after months of absence, quoting a post about a former coach of his — Kieth Armstrong — who used to coach for the Falcons, which was Campbell’s former team.
“Keith Armstrong was one of a kind,” Campbell wrote, following his message with four laughing emojis. “I’m so glad I came into the NFL when I did when all that soft babying players s**t didn’t exist. I’ll never forget his fame line: ‘You wanna be cute or you wanna be good?’ IYKYK.”

Unfortunately for Campbell, this opened the floodgates for 49ers fans to cause chaos in his mentions, asking him to address why he quit on the 49ers mid-game.
Campbell didn’t take kindly to the comments under his post, causing him to go on a social media tirade.
“Listen, I’m sick of all you b***h a** n****s jumping under my tweets,” Campbell wrote, beginning his NSFW rant. “It’s been 2 months and I have yet to address the situation cause I know the truth and don’t care to clear anything up. I’m by myself ALL the time if you or any of them b***h a** n****s from the 49ers feel some type of way go wit ya move when you see me cause all them n****s that had so much to say about me gone have to stand on them words next time I see them.
“I been standing on business my whole life and it’s gone be like that until the day I’m 6ft under p***y a** n****s don’t know me. That goes for all them old a** retired n***s that jumped on TV speaking on my name when they could’ve reached out to me and heard it from the horses mouth but they just took what the 49ers said and ran with it. Yall n****s p***y too f**k all of yall.”
This wasn’t where Campbell ended, as he reverted his aim from 49ers fans to Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. Although Shanahan admitted the decision was a mistake, Campbell didn’t care.
“I ain’t addressing s**t. I’m rich and never have to work another day of my life...
