A hot topic of discussion this week has been JAY-Z‘s announced Roc Nation partnership with the NFL. In the past three years since former NFL player Colin Kaepernick‘s protest became national news, JAY has firmly been one of Kaep’s biggest supporters, going as far as to wear his jersey in concert and criticize the NFL on his more recent The Carters album.
These positions all made this week’s announcement of JAY’s sudden football deal all the more surprising. But Jigga being Jigga, he clarified his position on Kaepernick’s protest and the state of the NFL in general directly when asked about it in the clip below.
How do you feel about JAY-Z’s position?
