So you might have heard that Jay-Z and Roc Nation are teaming up with the NFL.
The other day there was a meeting with Jay-Z, Roger Goodell and other people part of the media to discuss the partnership!
Some people questioned Jay's involvement especially since colin Kaepernick still does not have a job with the NFL! He said
“Everyone’s saying, ‘How are you going forward if Kap doesn’t have a job?’ This was not about him having a job,” he explained. “That became part of it. We know what it is — now how do we address that injustice? What’s the way forward?”
“I think that we forget that Colin’s whole thing was to bring attention to social injustice, correct?” JAY said, according to Rolling Stone. “So, in that case, this is a success. This is the next thing. ‘Cause there’s two parts of protesting. You go outside and you protest, and then the company or the individual says, ‘I hear you. What do we do next?’
“So for me it was like, action, actionable item, what are we going to do with it? Everyone heard and we hear what you’re saying, and everybody knows I agree with what you’re saying. So, what are we going to do? So, we should — millions of millions of people — and all we get stuck on [is] Colin not having a job.”
But it was another part of the meeting that has people talking, apparently during the meeting Jay-Z mentioned talking to Colin Kaepernick before the announcement! That's when Colin's Girlfriend took to twitter to call Jay out!
Nessa did an interview on the matter and gave Jay credit to his contributions to music and the culture but wants to hold him accountable!
“The disappointment in Jay-Z isn’t in the partnership. The disappointment is wrapping it in Social Justice.”
“I don’t mind you doing a business deal - but I do mind you wrapping it in social justice when you’re working with an organization that denies someone an opportunity.”
“Am I gon Play Jay Records? If they’re regularly scheduled to play....I’m not gonna go out of my way to discredit him & his work, but I will hold anyone accountable & I don’t care if it’s your favorite idol."
Some believe that Colin is pretty much confirming that he didn't talk to Jay because yesterday Colin posted this video to Twitter!
