Yesterday, Colin Kaepernick's girlfriend Nessa was among those who denied JAY-Z spoke to the unemployed QB before he committed to a multi-year partnership with the NFL to help improve their on-the-field product and their off-the-field initiatives.
She added to that today on Instagram, arguing that the NFL used Hov for PR and suggesting that Hov willing let them use him.
We will never turn our backs on @kaepernick7 because your idols decided to work with the same organization that is actively keeping Colin unemployed all because he peacefully protested against social injustice in black and brown communities, specifically police brutality. So really, how can Jay-Z and the NFL utter social justice in their partnership while keeping Colin unemployed because of his social justice work? •
It’s typical for the NFL to buy different PR looks to cover up their dirt-that’s nothing new. 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. •
Don’t tell me there’s a “master plan and wait for it” because the ONLY reason anything would ever change is because THE PEOPLE are loud and clear and won’t let the league buy their loyalty with their disingenuous moves. The people are letting the league and anyone who works with them know that they aren’t buying the bs. •
Thank you all so much for showing Colin so much support and love. I know for myself, I can’t thank y’all enough for loving my family.

What do you think of all of this?
