JAY-Z’s recent alignment with the NFL has created division among both his fans and peers. Some believe it’s a slap in Colin Kaepernick’s face while others applaud the Hip Hop billionaire for the bold business move.
According to a recent Instagram Live post, Freddie Gibbs falls into the latter category. The Madlib collaborator hopped on the social media platform over the weekend and fully backed the Roc Nation boss.
“Imma ride with JAY-Z,” he says. “Straight up, man. Fuck Colin Kaepernick. All y’all niggas march for Colin Kaepernick and he took a settlement and didn’t tell y’all what he got or nothing. You know what I’m saying? He settled. So, let it go. Y’all hatin’ on JAY-Z for trying to own something in the NFL. Y’all some muthafuckin’ crabs.”
Last week, Roc Nation announced the company was partnering up with the National Football League for the Inspire Change initiative, a campaign created in the wake of Kaepernick’s national anthem protests. Hov’s label will also serve as the NFL’s “live music entertainment strategist,” which includes consulting on productions such as the Super Bowl halftime show.
But it appears Jay wants more. The Hip Hop mogul is reportedly planning to become a co-owner of a NFL team, although the name of team hasn’t been specified.
Sources told TMZ Sports Hov is not only a “huge fan” of the NFL team but also wants to continue to be a “change agent” for the professional football league.
I agree with Freddie fuck Kaepernick hes washed up
Nah he sound dumb
Freddie says all the right things, on and off wax.
Freddie Gibbs is ALL wrong.. he’s a black man against his own best interest.
U 2 *iggas below me are dumb as fuck…what’s the reason behind the fuck Kaepernick? Tha fuck is yaul movement? Fuckin clowns
I never understood why people thought kneeling at NFL games would actually fix the police brutality issue. With that being said it’s your right to kneel as you please. But eventually you have to get to some tangible action otherwise what is the point? That is what jay is doing here and all the crabs are mad.
exactly! inb4: KnEEling WaSNt aBoUt FIxinG the IsSUe, iT wAs aBoUt BriNgiNg AwAreNeSs to tHe iSSue!
– said every person who pretends that we haven’t been have this conversation LONG before colin took a knee.
we been aware, we all just have different hot takes on the same damn issue.
It’s the typical saying. Can’t beat em. Join new.
its cool that this is your stance, but since you have this strong of an opinion, keep that same energy when you start to get backlash from people all over social media who comes to kap’s defense and attempts to “cancel” you. do not backtrack! stand by your position gangsta gibbs. i’d be disappointed if you back down and apologize for simply stating your opinion
Freddie is idiotic. Support Jay Z that’s your business– but the matter was legally settled with a nondisclosure agreement. That means legally if he talks about it he gets SUED!!!
Freddie, stick to your lane, bro.
NFL paid Kap. Jay can’t also get that NFL money?
At least Freddie is speaking some actual sense here unlike the retarded sheep who follow any stupid ass moment that has any kind of a “buzz” on social media. At least with someone as powerful and with as much influence as Jay being on the board of one of a NFL team, then he can really make his vice be heard. Kap’s heart was in the right place but that taking a knee thing didn’t do a goddamn thing….FACTS
It’s funny because Kap ain’t even African American, he’s Afghani American or some shit
Get off the internet and clean your filthy house,dicknose. Everyone hates you
The natural response to the truth in this world is anger.
Deep thoughts there Professor Cockmouth stay woke!
And insults are the natural response when one has no valid argument to present. Your the reason everyone thinks Americans are retarded…
Nah bro. Everyone across the globe thinks Americans are retarded due to this race baiting, horse shit. You’re a poor kid from Uganda. You see Kaep complaining about black people being killed, when he has never been killed or even profiled by a. I’m, and is worth 30 mil. What would you think? If you weren’t a brain washed, dindu retard.
Did you really just say “when he has never been killed”? ???
Yep… it was said and with confidence too!
Another great analysis from Dr.Picklethroat! Thanks for taking the time to educate a retarded American like me. I’ll be forever grateful.
Another excellent analysis from Dr.Picklethroat! Thank you for taking the time to educate a retarded American like me.I’m forever grateful.
So what! What everhis ethnicity, he put ALL out there on the line for African Americans when he didn’thave to
And then there are stupid mofos like this dumb negro Gobbs who’s s too stupid to see who is for him andwho’snot. #ImWitKaep
I feel so bad for those NFL players. They are treated like slaves! They are forced to practice more than once per week! They work HUNDREDS of hours every single year! And some of them are only compensated a few million dollars. That’s true oppression. Haha. Professional sports players claiming they are treated like slaves is a massive insult to the overwhelming majority of us who work 4o hours a week for 40 years straight, just to live a middle class life. I’m not complaining, I love my life, but it’s ridiculous any of these fortunate dudes could look at the rest of America and think THEY are being unfairly treated by their team owners… It’s an insult to actual oppression.
I agree sir.
Haha! I love this guy! Freddie is doing his thing
Well, Kaep has admitted several times, that he has never been a victim of police brutality or profiling. He’s worth 30 mil, lives in a gated community and has 3 cars worth 300K plus each. It’s also hilarious that black men killed by other black men in Chicago alone last year than black men were killed in the ENTIRE country by police. Armed or unarmed. There were more murders in Chicago so far this year, than there were people killed in mass shootings all across the US so far. I do t see anyone taking a knee for poor, underprivileged people of color killing and being killed in one city alone. Fucking hypocrites.
Lie, the White Los Vegas shooter shot OVER 600 other white people in just one shooting, add in the other Caucasian shooters in schools, public events, work place shootings and domestic ID TV white on white shooting. But like previously stated civilian shootings are irreverent on this discussion about state sanctioned police shootings and more so in a discussion about the RACISTBASTARD OWNERS response to a segment of their organization distress.
It’s not a LIE. Idiot. I’m talking about PEOPLE KILLED. As of August 5th, 2019, there have been 255 people killed in mass shootings. There have been 308 people killed in Chicago alone as of August 5th 2019. I guess your math is just as weak as your reading comprehension. There would logically be more people SHOT in Chicago and one more city, say detroit, than in all mass shootings in the US. We were talking DEATH. Thanks for reinforcing the false narrative, proving my point, and letting everyone know how stupid you really are. Hahahaha
Youre retarded lol. 83%of white murders are on on other white people. You kill who’s around you. braind dead house slave bitch lol you wish you were white lol. And the house slave bitches to white men that liked your shit. Niggas out in chicago killin eachother isnt the same you retard. They arent paid by my taxes, they didnt take an oath to serve and protect me. Now Go suck a white mans dick you dumb fuck haha
Where is this proof of “state sanctioned” shootings, gun foul hat guy? So you’re saying shooting someone who is armed and a convicted felon is “state sanctioned?” Hahahaha. It’s called Self defense. It pre dates modern law. Literally in the Old and New Testament. LOLOLOLOL. What an ass clown.
Another savage realizes his numbers are off and goes silent. We need more of this silence. LOL.
More black people were killed by other black people in Chicago last year, than blacks were killed by cops across the entire country during the same time frame. No one takes a knee for that shit.
Yada yada yada…what about black on black crime argument is not relevant to this discussion…but nice try though
It is totally relevant, idiot. The protest of Kaep, a guy worth 20 million that admits he’s never been harassed by the police, is against police brutality towards blacks. More black people are killed in one statistically proven scenario, than black people are killed by cops in a year across the ENTIRE country. He is taking a knee for something that separates the country, that he has never experienced himself, that is a statistical joke. He is not tackling a more SERIOUS issue that affects more people across the board because it doesn’t fit the narrative. You are very slow, I’m thinking you can’t spell GED, let alone acquire one… its not a blavk on black crime argument. It’s a THIS DISCOURSE affects your people (the ones you pretend to care for) less than this REAL protest would.
Nice. So you’re OK with black people getting killed, as long as the killing is done by other blacks. When it’s first responders trying to keep society safe, going by rules we overall agreed upon, then that’s a problem. You do realize that less than 1% of police shootings are deemed irregular by an independent shooting bird inquiry. They are ALL investigated, right? Now they PURPOSELY make sure to have black people in on the investigation. LOL. You’re life sucks because you’re stupid. Not because of whitey.
How quickly people forget. If it wasn’t for Kap taking a knee to bring awareness about police brutality, Jay Z wouldn’t even have thought about this move. The right thing to do is to help facilitate Kap getting on some teams roster, if that’s what he wants.
Wow. How stupid are you? So if Kae hadn’t pulled that nonsensical publicity stunt, a billionaire wouldn’t want to invest in a NFL team? LoL. Wow. Congrats.
Kaep is a shit Val player though.
Not only would Jay z not have thoight of it… If mot for Kaepernick’s actions and great sacrifice to bring attention to state sanctioned murder of black people the 32 racist bastatd owners would ..NEVER have made an offer of any kind to Jay z or any AA.
State sponsored murders of blacks? What about all the whites and Latinos killed, is that state sponsored as well? Who is sponsoring the murders in south Side Chicago, that are black on black? There are more of them a year, than cops are shooting black people, nation wide, while being “state sanctioned” in a year. IF YOU KEEP REPEATING A LIE TO YOURSELF, YOU CAN ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT! People who know how to count know the difference. LOL. There are more people killed in South Side Chicago so far this year, than ALL people across the US were killed in mass shootings. NUMBERS DON’T LIE. they don’t use fiction as an excuse for their shortcomings and failures.
32 racists basterds that pay mostly African American players millions of dollars to play. Those owners also had to work for someone else before becoming owners. Last time I checked the owners are not in charge of police departments.
Kaepernick is just a lil bitch! Period!
I for one agree with Kap and JayZ neither of them did anything wrong or immoral. Kap used his platform to highlight his concerns. white people got their knickers in a twist. So Kap stood up/kneeled for what he believes in. The NFL blackballed him for what they believe in. Jay Z is doing business, probably to make changes from the inside, because that’s what he believes in. Now you got white boys in this forum calling people ‘dindus’ and ‘savages’. I don’t think you people believe in anything but strife and conflict. Its plain to see that’s all you really came here for.
I have experienced profiling 1st hand in the US and I’m not a US citizen. I just visit as a tourist from time to time. Pretending its not an issue just furthers the issue more. That’s what a lot of you are doing here. Probably because that’s what you want.
Nah, not all of us. I think just think Kap went about it wrong though, posing for GQ covers and trying to be a star before he took a knee makes it hard not to think he took the knee just for attention. Maybe he had a change of heart though, who knows. I wish him the best and hope he can inspire the change that he wants. No reason to hate the guy, if anything, he got people talking.
Jay-Z saw an open business opportunity and a chance to make something real happen. He’s a smart dude, and as much as I love football, the NFL is a sick and greedy place so why not take advantage. The NFL needs a new identity and why not a mad successful black man. Wish Jay the best as well.
The whole BLM thing is statistically incorrect. I also don’t believe you were here on vacation from Hogwarts, minding your own business, doing nothing wrong, and some cops just profiled you. They all have mandatory body cams on when approaching anyone. Of what you say is true, contact ANY lawyer and get paid. Kaep doesn’t give a shit about the youth being murdered in the inner cities, the opioid crisis or l other SERIOUS issues facing Americans of all colors. He also has admitted on several occasions that he was never profiled or harassed by the police, it was a protest about what he “sees” and “hears.” He lives in a +4000 square foot mansion in a gated community, and has been a millionaire since he left high school. Dindu and savage are terms in modern speech in the US applied to ANYONE. It is not a race thing. The “Idindunuffins” has probably been said more on the show cops by methed out white trash than any other demographic out there. You’re speaking on shit that you are not involved with, and to tell me someone came here on vacation from the UK and got profiled is a joke. Unless you were driving around smoking weed in a car, switching lanes without signaling. Is the steering wheel in the back seat or some shit out where you’re from buddy? Shout out to the Loch Ness Monster. A real savage and dindu.
We are all missing the point. Kaep was on the bench back then. He is a sub mediocre player. No one would hire him for his skills or talent, period. The BLM thing disappeared after the election, strange huh? You have this moron and TI, who was arrested with machine guns and silencers, championing the war against oppression and racism? GTFOH.
Lmaoo tell these clowns man! Kneeling or not ain’t changing nothing. Anyone who watch football know kaep is BUNZ
Do you realize that Kaep kneeling literally lead to Roc Nation and this initiative? And, even though YOU, may not hear it – across the country local programs were started as a result of the public demonstrations
Programs teaching black kids that all cops are racist, and no matter how hard you study and go to school, the odds are stacked against you and you can’t make it. Even though people illegally come to this country and become millionaires without knowing the language or having docs to legally work? LOL. We also teach all of these kids to disrespect cops regardless, because they’re all racist…
Isn’t this guy facing Raaaype charges in the EU?
You’re right I’m talking on things I’m not ordinarily involved in. I am however talking on my own experience and after talking to family and fiends in the US who are directly involved. That’s just my anecdotal submission, take it for what you want. You’re reply confirms what I said. You’re only here for strife and conflict. Yelling “I’m no listening” solves nothing. Your statistics mean nothing if you cherry pick and obfuscate to make an already predetermined point. That goes for both sides of the argument. I’m sure most of the police in the US are good rule following law abiding law enforcement officers. You still have a minority who are not, and this is the problem. Arguing the statistics doesn’t solve the problem. What happens in Chicago between black criminals should have no baring on what happens between police and blacks in general. I’m amazed people come here with this BS argument. One does not justify the other. Black people are not a monolith. But that appears to be your thinking. Many Black people I’ve met in the US DO NOT SUPPORT the BLM movement, but they still feel what Kap was correct in his criticism of police because they live it and know it to be true. What exactly are you trying to achieve when you deny what other tell you is their experience. Is it that you wish people to not speak on it? Does it make you feel bad inside if they tell? What is the problem here?
