Colin Kaepernick’s TV Personality Girlfriend Torched Rap Icon Jay-Z After Video With NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell Surfaced; Jay-Z Replied

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his girlfriend Nessa Diab were ready to take on one of the biggest names in hip-hop culture. In 2019, Diab was less than happy with legendary rapper Jay-Z and comments regarding her boyfriend and his attempts to bring change. Kaepernick’s girlfriend shared her disgust following the surface of a video involving Jay-Z and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

She took to her Instagram while captioning the post, “We will never turn our backs on @kaepernick7 because your idols decided to work with the same organization that is actively keeping Colin unemployed…But what is disgusting and disappointing is Jay-Z let them use him. Whether Jay-Z knew it or not (I don’t doubt his intelligence-so I would think he knew) he helped the NFL bury who he said is an iconic figure, Colin Kaepernick.”

Diab also added that the rapper failed to see the contradiction in his comments regarding Kaepernick and his absence from the NFL. She believed that keeping Kaepernick out of a job is not helpful in the interests of the NFL and Jay-Z. The heat from her social media posts seemed to have spurred the rap icon to respond.

The legendary rapper eventually responded to Diab’s comments through a meeting. He met with some media members and NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, to share his thoughts. The Grammy Award-winning artist believes that the call for change was not for Kaepernick’s employment status.

But it was about things outside the four corners of the football field. He believes that the world has moved on from the kneeling part. Jay-Z called for a widening of perspectives on the issues that require attention.

He admits that while the former Super Bowl finalist had the right ideas, Kaepernick failed to make his message heard. Jay-Z declared his aim to rectify things was to draw upon the NFL’s attention and resources efficiently.

There was a growing divide regarding the former Niners QB and his absence from playing in the NFL. While Jay-Z might look to bring change without Kaepernick, his claims appear perplexing for some individuals like Diab. However, since 2019, the landscape seems to have shifted for Kaepernick, with a comeback appearing to be a possibility.
