In May 2025, Ryan and Robert (also known as RG3 among fans) engaged in a heated dispute on social media.

Shortly after, RG3 stated that Ryan had crossed a line.
«There is a line in life that you do not cross, and Ryan Clark ran past it», - RG3 wrote in a tweet. «Ryan Clark did not like my opinion that Angel Riz hates Caitlin Clark. That’s okay. Disagreements are part of the game. But instead of discussing my point of view, he personally attacked me and my family. This shows how low he is as a person. I expressed a sports opinion: I said that Angel Riz hates Caitlin Clark, based on repeated visible actions on the court and in press conferences».
Noting that he supported [his statement about Clark and Riz] «with five separate examples from basketball games», - RG3 added that Ryan «said that I do not understand the struggle of black women because I am married to a white woman. This is wrong and goes beyond boundaries».
«He implied that I do not value my wife as a woman whom I love, protect, and raise a family with, but value her only because of the color of her skin. This is wrong and goes beyond boundaries», - RG3 added. «He suggested that he, a person who has never sat at our dinner table, values my wife and knows my family life better than I do. This is wrong and goes beyond boundaries»
