Jay-Z insists he and Colin are on the same team in moving forward for the cause.

Jigga sat down with the NYT this weekend ahead of Super Bowl LIV and re-defended his

, which many saw as a betrayal of Kap and everything he stood for. Jay also took a lot of heat at first, but he seems okay with it for the bigger picture.,"As long as real people are being hurt and marginalized and losing family members, then yes, I can take a couple rounds of negative press," going on to insist he is still fighting for people of color -- only now, from a position of strength and influence.

Case in point ... Sunday's broadcast will apparently include a PSA-type video -- one in a series, per NYT -- that aims to tell the stories of black men and boys killed by cops.

I don't have to kneel to stand with you. -Jim Jones

Ya right money hungry.

Jay-z owes kaepernick nothing. Kaepernick didn't do a dam thing for black people. All he did was bring attention to himself. What kaepernick did was done by rosa parks,king,x. So Jay-z your not betraying anyone

Okaaaaay.

Whatever

Who cares

NFL is full of sh*t. Kap kneeled and got banned but you got men out here beating women and killing animals and the NFL says nothing. Hell, they extend contracts for abusers. This is why I don't watch this bullshit anymore. I'm not wasting my time on hypocrites and fools.

I infiltrated the corporate dudes...

I fucked so many dudes out they publishing JayZ

I'm the type a guy to interior decorate the watch AskAboutMe JayZ

When it comes to money JayZ all about jayz better ask about me...

Lol!

It’s a business-man.

Jew Z.

Sure he is ...Money talks

Duh! Yeas! JayZ has SoldOut! As he’s whispering to himself, “Someone was gonna get some NFL 💰, why not me?”

Kap had a chance to try out. But he threw it away with that publicity stunt changing locations last minute.

Are you going to talk about AmberHeardIsAnAbuser or not?

Losers.

Interesting take Jay

Kaepernick betrayed himself. People seem to forget that he quit. He was offered a contract and he refused it. Said it wasn't enough and he quit. How can you betray someone who quit?

2 phony scumbags

Jay-Z is wise and understands the landscape of his future and his brand... that other guy doesn't. Proceed Jay-Z, proceed.

Stop with the 'betrayal of the black race' BS! Was Kaepernick7 betraying the black race when he lived as and under white privilege all those years before he reverse Michael Jackson'd and suddenly became black? OneDropRuleUnconstitutionalThusNotLaw

Jay-Z is taking action and working for change. Kapernick is waiting for his next Nike commercial.

Great job JAyZ!! Guy was wrong and is washed up.....what is there to defend

Kraepernick is not important.

Oh and Jay Z is a ho ..

kaep is a revolutionary far too great for the NFL/his legacy supersedes football/they don’t deserve him. He fights for those who will never speak again. Because of him we can stand up and fight against injustice. Sacrifice is truly the greatest honor. godsplan

I think it’s time for Kaepernick to Move from 🏈

Ya he is betraying Kaepernick but who cares! Looks good on him...

True or false? Kap is a better football player, than JayZ is a rapper?

the political correctness gets confusing at times, doesn't it TMZ? stupid story

WGAF, handle your business Jay-Z

Both are clowns

No one cares about either of these wastes of air.

Fuck colin kaperniek

Kap got cut because he sucks, it's not a racial issue

I care about Kap.

Kap chose his fight, you have yours. A person shouldn't have to explain him or herself, just live

SMART HAPPY KETO COFFEE W NOOTROPICS!

no one cares about KAP.. He got his $ and then blew his audition.. let him go away already..
