Sean Combs waited until the smoke cleared before stepping up to defend his friend, rap mogul Jay-Z, two weeks after the NFL announced a lucrative deal with Roc Nation. Commissioner Roger Goodell announced a partnership with Jay-Z and Roc Nation earlier this month. Jay-Z and Roc Nation will direct halftime entertainment and create a social justice campaign for the NFL.
The public backlash was swift after sports journalist Jemele Hill called out Jay-Z for not including quarterback-turned-activist Colin Kepernick in the deal with the NFL.
Some accused the 50-year-old rapper of backstabbing Kaepernick, who settled a discrimination suit with the NFL for a reported $10 million.
Sean Combs, affectionately known as “Puff” or “Puffy”, defended the rapper on social media.
“Hov is one of the greatest to ever do it, he has been there more than anybody from the hip hop culture, including me,” Puffy said.
“He always has been so selfless and fights for other people. We as a people can not be divided and conquered at this time!!”
Others in the industry also praised the father-of-5 for his benevolent efforts, saying he left his drug dealer past far behind him.
Puffy said he watched the backlash against Jay-Z with sadness in his eyes. He said people should give the rapper a chance to do good things with his new platform.
“I was just watching everything last week but it hurt me to my heart because I know this man personally. He’s one of the most genuine and intelligent black leaders we’ve ever had. We cannot go against each other, there’s not enough of us. I applaud Jay Z and I applaud the NFL for bringing him in.

Another celeb defending Jay Z. What’s new? They are going to stick together to fool black ppl. As if what Puffy say is regular food listen to anyways.

Puffy trying to prove there is honor amongst thieves/sellouts.
EACH AND EVERY BLACK IN ENTERTAINMENT LOOK AT THEMSELVES AS A INCLUSIVE GROUP THE REST OF US ARE “niggas” THE MAKE MONEY OFF OF….
Let’s all just sit back n watch. Let’s see how this play’s out!?
I wonder which one is more spiritually darker and more selfish jay or diddy. Tough call.
When I think about the amount of people Diddy has fucked over, he’s the last person I’d want defending my ethics.
My Grandma told me there would be days like this , where the popular and masses follow suit with what’s popular. I’ve said it before and will say it again. It’s funnt how Jayz was the Celeb that started the whole cancel the NFL and now that he’s been cut a check , now he’s the one saying fuck with them again.
It wasn’t a typo……….. He looks just like his father!!!! Big bad W
He’s one of the most genuine and intelligent black leaders we’ve ever had.

Did he just say…you know what.. I’m so sick of these entertainers that think of themselves as gods just cause they got money and foolish fans.
Lmao pot defending the kettle. Bye sean combs, worry about your sleletons falling out the closet. These people think theyre god, leader? Who tf has jayz led? Except beyonce to perdition? He’s not a black leader, he’s not even lead camel. Stop this nonsense, unless you stan jayz you know what he is and seeddy isnt the one to change my mind.
Yup and Its not just entertainers, this youtuber got into it with one of my coworker because she thought we would represent her for free because shes got a couple of million of followers, meanwhile, that means absolutely nothing because even celebrities are into the influencer game so we expected our deposit and the contract signed. Lil miss oppulence on ig lost her shit at the thought of having to shell $5000 and i found put she tried to get an indie brand to give her free makeup palette for swag bags for an event she was having. These mofos think theyre gods amongst us mere mortals.
“Hov is one of the greatest to ever do it. He always has been so selfless and fights for other people. We as a people can not be divided and conquered at this time!!”
———————————————————
Stfu you clown! I can not stand this fool. Wicked, demonic narcissist idiot. Of course he had to defend him, they’re cut from the same cloth. Get permanently lost. Ugh!
Dear Diddy,
Leave Lori Harvey alone!
We may be in trouble.
Somebody tell me…Where are these guys leading us?
Leader?! If Jay Z is a leader, I need to know where the hell are we going!?
Straight into the pit of Satan’s stomach.
Am I the only one who sees little to no connection between Jay/ the NFL and how it will help Black people?
Tweedledee and Tweedledum!
I don’t see the average Black person benefiting at all by what Jay does.
I doubt 1 more every day Black person gets hired or raised from the ghetto.
Straight to the lake of fire.?
They gone learn.

I can go there alone and first class. Count me out!
I was starting to support Diddy again…until this Lori Harvey mess. Now he speaks on Jay Z’s simple ass. They’re both money hungry jokes who don’t respect women or their communities. I’m done with these two old heads!
We ARE in trouble!
you sound dumb as hell. Jay has done more in his lifetime for others than you probably will ever do in this life and your next life.
JAY Z IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR KAP’S BAD BUSINESS DECISIONS.
1ST ONE IS WHEN HE QUIT THE 49ers WHO WERE ACTUALLY PLAYING HIM EVEN IF IT WAS B/C THE GUY THAT TOOK HIS QB POSITION GOT HURT BUT HE WAS PLAYING AND PLAYING WELL THEN HE QUITS LIKE AN IDIOT BY OPTING OUT OF HIS LAST YR OF HIS CONTRACT THEN GETS SALTY AND ACTS TOTALLY SHOCKED WHEN NO OTHER TEAM HIRES HIM. REALLY? YOU’RE INVOLVED IN A NATIONAL NFL PROTEST AND CALLING THE NFL OWNERS ‘MASSA’ BUT THINK ONE OF THE MASSA IS GOING TO HIRE YOU. TOTAL IDIOT.
2ND BAD DECISION WAS TAKING A $10 MILL SETTLEMENT FROM THE NFL WITH NO JOB INCLUDED OR ANY MONIES FOR ANY BLACK INJUSTICE PROGRAMS, JUST $$$ FOR ‘HIS’ POCKETS AND NOW IT’S ALL JAY Z’s FAULT. GTFOH!!!!
JAY Z DID A NFL DEAL AFTER KAP DID A NFL DEAL, A DUMB DEAL BUT A DEAL THAT HE THOUGHT WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO SIGN AND TAKE THE $$$ FROM SO NOW EVERYONE IS BLAMING JAY Z. SMH!!!……..JENNY JONES!!!
Leader?
say it again for those in the back of the room can hear you!
Jay-Z made a song called, Tom Ford. Tom Ford nipped the ghetto connection before his line turned into a Tommy Hilfiger. He made it clear that his line is upscale, created and marketed to the rich and wealthy. Ford said that his products are over-priced because they’re made for a niche market not for mainstream buyers.
ALL THAT IS TRUE BUT HE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WITH THE NFL UNTIL KAP WAS CUT A CHECK WHICH IS WHAT SEEMS TO BE LOSE WITH THIS BACKLASH AT JAY Z. HE FOLLOWED KAP BOTH TIMES. WHEN KAP WASN’T FOOLING WITH THE NFL AND AFTER KAP TOOK A $10 MILL SETTLEMENT CHECK FROM THE NFL. IT’S CRAZY THAT KAP CAN TAKE A CHECK BUT JAY CAN’T. ATLEAST JAY’S CHECK COMES WITH SOME PROGRAMS FOR BLACK INJUSTICE; KAPS ONLY COMES WITH MONEY FOR HIM AND HIS LAWYERS. BUT THAT’S O’KAY. SMH……JENNY JONES!!!
How do you know what I’ve done? You don’t know me. That makes you dumb as hell!
I support any black man who is married to a black woman and is in the house raising his three kids like Jay Z does.
lol…
WELL I’M SO SICK OF PEOPLE BEING ALL ON JAY’S NUTS WHEN HE AND BEY WERE CUTTING CHECKS FOR BLACK LIVES MATTERS AND PAYING LAWYERS AND BAIL MONEY FOR THOSE LOCKED UP PROTESTING BUT NOW HE’S A SELL OUT AND BACKSTABBER WHEN THE CHECK COMES HIS WAY. YOU CAN NOT PLEASE NUCCAS!!!!………JENNY JONES!!!!
P Diddles is headed to the next anus.
I think these guys are getting richer, but don’t see Jaquez or Laquita coming along.
Lead camel. You may have broke the internet in my opinion. ???????????????????????????????????????
Aye Sis!!! U the only one on this post that seems to get it….so many ppl just hate Jay-Z for no real reason, that they look for a reason to blame him for Kap’s situation. Jay can bring ppl(blk ppl) in to make money off the NFL. Ppl that may have never had an opportunity, IF he wasn’t given this position. But of course, these mf’s don’t WANT to see a bigger picture. Jay is not the reason Kap is out of a job. KAP IS THE REASON HE IS OUT OF A JOB!
Well said
Married yet cheated ???…..but ok?. Just cause he married to “black” woman (whom identify as creole?) dont meant sht especially if he fkd over her like he would any other broad no matter the color and from Beyonce claims “a becky.” So be careful who u support because of what u see and Not what you know. Jay is a scoundrel just like puff the magic dragon…they both are for themselves FIRST! Dont let the fake woke fool u!
Black LEADER???? SAY WHAT? Look here Shawn & Sean…EAT ONE!
A snake will always defend a snake. I see it every day.
#DirtyRottenMurderousCheatingDrugdealerScoundrel
Lawd YOU SAID NOTHING!
A dummy and a follower that Chile is!!
He ain’t do SHAT but put an easy notch under his belt after Being called out..Fawk Jay and his followers
You sound dementedly bitter??
I gave a black man a complement for being married to a black woman in the house raising three little black kids and you come to me with Stan ??
I’m a grown black woman and a very few black men are married raising black kids so don’t the fuck tell me who to support.
You sound like an immature child who doesn’t know the reality of life.
Silly child minded troll GTFOFH with that ??
there’s nothing else to say to you????
how about mr combs pay all the people he has stiffed. how about that. for that matter how about jay z pay back the people he stiffed. they use services and then try to pay half. maybe the have stopped doing that but i doubt it. plus, just because you have a payment plan doesnt mean that you dont owe them. if you owe a million and they settle for less you still owe a million, they just let you slide.
i think dupri has done more for the little guy then combs. combs has helped a lot of businesses but its not like he grabbed a little guy and pulled him up.
on second thought i bet jay paid puffy.
Everyone over 40 knows
these two
Were shady from day one!
But this 2019
We are supposed to have forgoten
This one right here……….lmao
ford said that about his policy of not dressing politicians. he said they should dress on the level of their people.
yeah, i cant believe diddy got involved. usually he is the smartest person in the room. he got too many skeletons to be getting involved.
all jayz will do is make the players shut up. its that head slave mentality. if any player gets out of line jayz team will rip him in the press. the players should try to avoid him.
Have you seen the donations and the things that Kap has done for the community? The black community at that. Most of it was when he wasn’t even employed. If he doesn’t donate ONE MORE RED CENT OF HIS MONEY…..he has done quite more than what the average man who has more money than him will EVER do in his lifetime.
https://www.ninersnation.com/platform/amp/2018/1/31/16956016/colin-kaepernick-donations-full-list-of-organizations-one-million-dollars
he was trying to blackmail them.
Where is Jayz list at? Okay he bailed some people out of jail. Donated to black lives matter. What else has Jayz done?
im not over 40 and i know some people still wont sit in a room with either of them. I think people will do business with puffy before jayz.
Coming from a man who won’t come out the closet!? FOH https://media3.giphy.com/media/xUySTBEFBBBUKF4CpG/giphy.gif
I can’t!!!!!!?
Mr. Combs is cut from the same clothe!
I was thru with him when I read he made the Indian woman CEO of revolt tv. Not that I have watched or will watch!
There wasn’t ONE BLACK TOP INDUSTRY FEMALE EXEC TO RUN HIS COMPANY?
A complaint launched in 2018…
“The ex-employee wrote to Revolt’s board “from a place of genuine concern on behalf of myself, as a young, educated black woman, for the people currently employed at Revolt who are fearful of losing their jobs, and in an attempt to preserve the reputation and perception of this company.”
In a bombshell letter, she alleged, “I’ve witnessed Roma say that black women intimidate her,” and that at a May brainstorming session for the Revolt Music Conference, when it was suggested that rapper Meek Mill host a talk on prison reform, “Roma responded, ‘Maybe the conversation isn’t about prison reform, maybe it’s about how to stay out of jail, black boy.’?”
The memo adds, “In my own discomfort, I spoke up, saying that her comment was not only insulting but would also be disrespectful to Meek as he’s not a ‘boy’ .?.?. She then proceeded to propose .?.?. ‘Maybe that’s it .?.?. Maybe it’s a conversation on how not to be black.’?”
Agreed
Nice gif, Chick! ?
The P-A-I-D “WOKE kneeling players” deserve accolades for getting paid for kneeling about injustice vs Jay being condemned while standing and getting paid by the SAME people! *Fake sarcasm* Pot meet kettle!
correction everyone over 30.
lol you on the wrong path if thats all it take for you to hop on someone side. Cause Jay Z is a cheater and probably used Beyonce for status, he aint no good black man, what happen to the rest of his kids? the ones who were visible until he married Beyonce.
Dont buy into the lie black men dont take care of they kids. You obviously need to fix your surroundings, And Jay Z got other kids that he dont take care of, so you might as well add him to the list of black men you dont like.
But Kp was benched prior to the kneeling though? he was not playing and was not going to make the final roster, he was about to get cut, what are you talking bout, pre season? If a team is playing you during pre season , they are deciding whether or not to keep you. You wrote that like you knew what you were talking about but you dont. Every player in the league know if you get any playing time in pre season, your azz is on the choping block. KP was Bout to get cut, but that kneeling saved his job cause the league aint want to look racist.
but she wrong, he was benched the whole season before all this started. ? Lol so he said f–k it, i might as well stand for something before they fire me, and it just happen to benefit him cause dumb azz ppl like yall fall for anything, Kp and JAy z are both full of shyt. And yall about to let the media turn all this around and make Jay Z look like saint. ? yall are so basic its ridiculous.
like what, bail ppl out of jail and recruit them to satan?
jay z is the reason police even start shooting niggax in the first place. Him telling ppl to talk shyt to the police, that aint work for nobody but him cause he be having 30 off duty cops with him, nkr di he even drive
to hell
Most business owners have this rep.. lol
Black folks can’t afford Tom Ford he wasn’t worried..5,000 suit? Niggas still wearing stacy Adams..
Where u going with half white Kap?
Yall dumb enough to follow.. aint no gun put to our heads
Their union is a business deal. There is no real marriage.
The better they make their image the more their followers and “fans” aka weirdos….fall deeper down their rabbit hole. Everything they do is about more money. I’m sure they both hate each other but play nice for the TV.
The truth of the matter is that Jay Z was always ahead of everyone else, you don’t become a billionaire by being simple. This site has too many simpletons that dare to think outside of the box. All you will ever do is criticize and hate. It kills you to see someone that looks like you- that has taken it this far, smart man. SELF-HATE IS WHY THEIR IS NO UNITY WITHIN THE BLACK RACE. I applaud Jay Z and his wife for changing the game, and doing it as long as they have…..Same people criticizing Jay( their own kind) are crickets when it comes to Trump…..smh
Right. When you begin rapping about Andy Warhol paintings and Margiela’s you done removed yourself from the average black person and we can’t relate.
I swear, if we don’t stop looking at these effin celebs to be our damn saviors! They don’t give a shit about the average Joe because they aren’t one anymore. All they want from us is our money in the form of music sales, concerts, gear, etc. Other than they, they all think like ASAP Rocky…..” I can’t relate”.
THANK YOU!!!!
“May” be?? LOL Any man that could shoot his own brother, I don’t respect or fcuk with. I live in the same city where his brother currently lives and Jay is a foul ass n*gga.
Yeah, I don’t see this as a big Black power move.
When your lifestyle requires you to have bodyguards…you’re in a new territory. We caint relate.
???
Backstabbing? Lol After asking over 30 times, there is still not ONE person that can tell me what CK’s ” 3 year movement of kneeling has changed? Or why is it acceptable for *woke kneeling players* to accept a check from the EXACT SAME massa, Jay is? We don’t need ANYONE to make us aware of what we have experienced daily for decades, give us a solution or have a seat!
Right. I never got that. The people that were let out of jail….were they in there legitimately or were these people the victims of mistaken identity and were wrongfully jailed?? I mean, how is that helping a black community if that person was supposed to be there due to their own actions? Does his getting the men out of jail only showcase his pseudo power that, OF COURSE none of us would have? If anyone can explain what getting someone out of jail does to enrich a community, that’d be great.
There’s a difference between doing things that really matter and doing shit just so you can say you did shit.
Says the guy who hasnt EVER paid an artist on his label in FULL yet https://media3.giphy.com/media/11YdnfyG6qvuWk/giphy.gif
AND who put some of his artist’s on LIFETIME contracts so they couldn’t further they careers!
I still wanna know more ab these 5 kids Sandra keep talking ab… So Jay got 2 xtra kids??
I still wanna know how JayZ stopped a “movement” that wasn’t moving?
Let your anger go. Stop being dependant on other people to save you. Stop being victims.
Who cares stop being a victim.
Move beyond race. How pathetic!
I’m not mad at him I think it’s ok for black people to be in high places for a change.
Everyone has been diverted by the Trump bashing. STOP, look over your shoulder @ the real vultures making millions off of the everyday man.
Lol I’m not angry, neither of their decisions have yet to benefit nor effect me.
why yall was mad at him again?
*crickets*
It was trending at the time….. now they all mad at a chicken sandwich !!
Name one artist ..????
Lol!!
no they dont. the reason why most business owners are successful is because people want to be in a room with them. thats how they make deals.
Where did I mention Kap? What’s wrong with him being half white? He can’t help being born biracial.
NO YOU DUMB ENOUGH TO NOT COMPREHEND MY COMMENT!
You are not the only one! He is in charge of music for ONE party! The NFL is not a life force and will not promote change!!! Music and sports, that’s all we know how to listen to huh! He wanna make power moves? Put his ass on the board at an Ivy league school, put his ass in charge of handing out more scholarships in art to these schools so our babies get in and don’t have to face prejudice. Put his ass on the board at a fortune 500 company where we can get more jobs. Hell, tell him to build a school for at risk youth a la Lebron James. Anything other than the Nigger For Life league.
Rachel was in a more impactful position than Jay is. She was with the NAACP, that nigga with the NFL!!
I care about what I care about, as you have the same right not to be concerned!
This was someone’s workplace experience, who voiced a concern for herself and others too intimidated to say anything, just like any other whistle-blower!
Just maybe, it made the work environment, just a little better, healthier, less stressful for somebody!
Now fuk off!
Fuck you.
Black families the least married in America and black women are running 80% of the families.
And your sorry ass ass says move beyond race re-read my first line.
I really think some of you are mentally ill. Everybody and their grandmother knows their marriage is a business deal you’re not informing me of anything I don’t know!
And he still doing more than the average black male he’s in the house raising his three kids y’all are so used to being fatherless you don’t know what it means to be protected by one.
Right…
More than half you all asses mad at Jay are eating popeyes and sitting on go for NFL football season.
That’s not what his comment implied. He basically said Black folks ain’t nobody giving you shyt…we gotta do it ourselves. STOP POINTING FINGERS ABD PLAYING VICTIM.
Somebody gets it!
Bitch, let’s stop the assumptions before I go hard in the paint. My father has been in my life since day one and has been married to the same woman for 40 years. FOH with your community college ass guesstimates. It’s too bad that your surroundings have your mind warped about black men. You weak asf. All the BLACK men in my family are husbands to good black women and here you are acting like they don’t exist while you dick ride a celebrity who wouldn’t piss on you if you was burning like the Amazon.
Keep stanin’ for these fake niggas with your weak ass. ?
Actual he started way before this…water wells in Africa….The Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund…Sean Bell’s children education has been taken care of….
Fuck off pressed azz mammy hoe.
???…..Got ‘eem. ?
You got nothing you just wasted a whole lot of words telling the world you are a mammy. ?
And obviously a white female showing a white hand you white trolls are ridiculous???
Damn bitch….what’s the lottery numbers for tomorrow since your dumb ass know so much.
Stupid hoe. Go suck an ashy penis

This Natural Hair Movement is not fitting for everyone…just saying

He has three kids with Beyonce and, allegedly, a son in Trinidad and another son in New York.
Wow! I didn’t know ab them… Maybe one but not 2 tho!

Now this is a hunch but I bet Yawnce for the first time is carrying their baby #4..she been laying REAL LOW since that courtside mean muggin
Its part of Black American culture to play victim and blame the White man. Non- American Blacks don’t have this mentality.
That is why ALOT of people look down on American Blacks and y’all deserve it.
Take responsibility and make better choices. Stop blaming other people for your failures in life.
