Jay-Z is baffled by the overwhelmingly negative response to his lucrative new deal with the National Football League to provide halftime entertainment and launch a social justice campaign. Friends say Jay-Z, 50, believed using the USA’s biggest sports platform to advance a worthy cause – social injustice – would be well received by everyone. He was wrong.
The aging rap mogul has come under fire for undermining the work done by NFL free agent Colin Kaepernick who was blackballed after he took a knee during the National Anthem to bring attention to police brutality.
The Wall Street Journal reports Jay-Z was “shocked” that his new deal with the league was being interpreted by some as backstabbing Kaepernick. The father-of-5 reportedly called Kaepernick a day before he announced his joint partnership. But Kaepernick’s girlfriend, Nessa, said that was a lie.
Eric Reid, the Carolina Panthers safety and former teammate of Kaepernick’s, took offense after Jay-Z said “We’re past kneeling.”
Calling the rapper a “sell out,” Reid said, “For one, when has Jay-Z ever taken a knee? … Yes he’s done a lot of great work; a lot of great social justice work. But for you to get paid to go into an NFL press conference to say that we’re past kneeling? Again, asinine.”
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills said: “I feel like Jay-Z really discredited Colin and myself and the work that’s being done in our communities.”
And businessman Dame Dash, who founded Rocafella Records with Jay-Z in 1995, said in an interview, “Everybody knows Jay ain’t shit.”
The NFL is now walking back reports that Beyonce’s husband will become part owner of a NFL franchise. According to CBS News, there are no plans in place for Jigga to become an NFL owner.
The NFL assumed Jay-Z’s influence within the Black community would entice more Black people to buy tickets to games or tune into football coverage on television. But they were wrong.
The NFL’s much-hyped deal with the former drug dealer has turned into a PR nightmare for the league.
If he had said he would do it ONLY if they gave Kap a job I’d say he had good intentions. He didn’t so what the fawk did he expect? Le sigh. https://media2.giphy.com/media/26AHpY2EgchRJTwUU/giphy.gif
Father of 5??? Lol
That picture of Jay and Goddell speaks volumes.
Jay: “ I’s a good negro boss”.
Goddell: “Yes Jay you are, keep me informed on the field negros. They can get out of line sometimes”.
With that being said I would hope his intentions are good. But he is a former crack dealer and only he knows what happened to Cathy White. Jay is an opportunist at heart by any means necessary so I don’t know why folks are so surprised.
Bruh shut your fat ass lying lips up.
Jay-Z, 50
^^^^^
54
LOL ohhhhhhhh k
Morning Sandy! … and Jay-Z has always been a wishy washy opportunistic camel… I am surprised he backed out, he only cares about getting a purse
I think he is 50 if I’m not mistaken
The shade
He was never going to be a owner so it’s nothing to walk back smh
Exactly!

This backlash is what he deserves
He didn’t back out, it was never an option as it was a direct conflict of interest with his steak in Roc Nation. He’d have to choose one or the other.
What would be the conflict? Serious question.
Since Roc Nation represents athletes, he’d be an owner and an agent at the same time.
??
Ms. Sandra, it would of been nice to tell us when Dame talks about Jay Z. Nobody has time to watch the whole video.
Elaborate because you’re making no sense…. where is the conflict?
You’s shock? https://media0.giphy.com/media/5BWVeEbJsaB4UZAzSz/giphy.gif
So what is next.
What is Eric and Collin’s next step?
3 years ago they took a knee. Collin got a settlement and a Nike endorsement and Eric still plays in the same league he knelt against.
Black men are still entering the league and playing so again what is next ?!
Yeah, he kinda brought this on himself. Any “deal” that didn’t include Kaepernick (or at least ensure that he got a shot to play in the league again) was always going to be suspect. You’d think JayZ would have known that.
You cant be an owner of a team, and also an owner of the agency that’s representing an athlete who’s trying to negotiate with that team. Definite conflict of interest.
Kap took a settlement, he quit on himself. Kneeling does nothing when you get up off your knees and go catch their ball and cash their paycheck. Unless we create our own league, the only other option is to infiltrate theirs in positions other than player.
Cuz you know Dame is long winded
Bye demon (8) your day is here https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/776fc673f0dffd9a78a9d91097c354d51f5f6fa023aa27e1a852a81744db9b6f.gif
1) “undermining the work done by NFL free agent Colin Kaepernick”
What “work?” I honestly don’t know what Kaepernick accomplished except for getting paid by Nike for his unfocused grandstanding. To this day he and his mindless followers can’t articulate how refusing to stand for the flag at a football game furthered any cause.
2) I don’t know any Blacks boycotting the NFL because some wannabe “woke” mixed-race football player raised by white folks decided to go militant. On the other hand I do know of people who stopped going when the NFL basically sanctioned all the inane kneeling. The NFL needs to worry about them. Same with Nike and discontinuing those flag shoes because Kaepernick told them Blacks would be offended. If they’re depending on that one guy to represent all Blacks, they are clueless.
3) The NFL was dumb for extending that commissioner’s contract. His lack of leadership is what allowed this stupid issue to go haywire. Notice the NBA and MLB didn’t have this issue. That’s because their commissioners told the players point blank: “You will stand for the flag, else you can go elsewhere. Do your protest thing on your own time and your own dime.” Period. Not that hard.
4) Jay-Z considers himself a business. Everything he does should be seen through that lens. I do not know why anyone would look to him for some kind of grand moral leadership. That is not his lane. He may pretend otherwise for PR purposes, but no one should be surprised that his actions stem with one main goal in mind—money. Once you accept that, you can just accept his talent for what it is, hope he produces good halftime shows, and leave the moral leadership for others who actually give a damn. Jmo
Im confused and tired. We will never get what we’re looking for, because we don’t have a real clue about what we need/want. I guess we’ll just keep protesting, marching, and kneeling until we figure it out.
Jay-Z’s ownership (even if minor) of an NFL team and Roc Nation’s business ties to the NFL could be deemed an unfair advantage against other agents and players. So Jay would have to sell his stake in Roc Nation before acquiring ownership of a team.

The NFL didn’t do anything to Kaepernick. I don’t know why Blacks want to take on his personal frustration as some kind of burden for the Black community. His protest was unfocused anyway. If he wanted to do something about police brutality, he should have been appealing to political leaders, including the former President who was in office when a lot of the incidents with police occurred.
He knew. He just went for the money.
Lies on top of lies.

Who in their right mind thought these white ppl was gonna let a black man become a team owner. He’s nothing but a pawn they hoped would appease blacks.
?????
Homegirl about to show that pole what she working wit ?
Father of 5? Who are the other two children? Do tell!
Lawd jenie ???
The Trini girl with the son is one
Chile ….. they were (demons) warned ….. but what do demons do ???? Disobey ….. oh well !!!!
And the older guy that looks like him. I think he’s in his early 30’s now.
They weren’t kneeling against the league though. They were kneeling to bring awareness to the murder of black men by police. White ppl just happened to be offended that they knelt during the anthem.
??
This ninja is neither shocked nor baffled. He don’t give af ?
You’re right!
And his grandma wife is 8 years younger than he is. So this BS she feeding to her stans that she’s in her 30s is the top of the line BS. Heard her with my own ears years ago on a TV interview say Jay is 8 years older than her.
Goes to google Cathy White
Exactly
One of my favorite gifs lololololol
Say it ??
Jay Z has no one else to blame for this mess. His roll-out was terrible because he has no outsiders on his staff anymore. He only had a few things to do and a few things he should not have done and everything would’ve been fine, but he took things for granted. Oh well.
This is what happens when you put these false idols above all and rely on them to make decisions for you. Kaepernick, JayZ, etc. should not be idols. Use your own head.
Now essentially no black person except players and coaches can do deals with the NFL all because of Kaepernick and JayZ. This is weak. Real weak.

Falls da fugg out!!
They put that nonsense out there to appease the people that Stan for the fact that he’s rich. Imagine truly believing that man could afford something worth billionS
They had the audacity to use his platform in the press release and didn’t include him. Like…he’s the reason they even asking your ass to do this.
You can always count on Jen to come through ?
Father of 5? I thought Jay only had 3.
????
Not a bag but a purse LMAO. I see what you did there.
You know sandy petty there’s a grown man claiming to be jayz son and they are said he father a little girl with some chick that lives in the islands now or something like that

We don’t have time for this phuckery in 2019 *side eye* Phuck Jay, phuck Goddell, and phuck the NFL as a staff, half time show, and as a mf crew *in my Pac voice* I’m so unbothered by this foolishness. I haven’t watched a game in two years and will not watch this season either. *lights my sage stick*

Shade shade shade-u went in on JayZ Sandra dang, the hate u have for him and Beyoncé really shows in your commentary!
Beyoncé like dayum dayum dayum. Now l gotta go on tour n bail his azz out the same way l bailed his azz out when he cheated on me.??????
I thought the chick on the Island had the son…who look just like Jay Z and favor Blue Ivy the last time the pic circulated…and his mother is decease now.
I saw the guy that was in the media about being Jay’s son but no DNA test was provided or taken.
I think the little girl people were talking about belongs to Swizz Beats.
Jay-Z is baffled by the overwhelmingly negative response to his lucrative new deal with the National Football League
^^^^^^^^
Only thing he is baffled over is the masses BEEN buying his high priced ass bullshit for a long LONG time. The high priced ass tour tickets with his Creole wife… and him dolo. Those high priced Tidal subscrips. That high ass D’usse. So this time when he was tryna sell folks the BS that is that NFL deal for FREE he probably truly WAS baffled. Bc hell they been PAYING all this time. Now its free and folks dont want it.
Joke is on you Gay-Z. And its free this time.
Phuck Jay << in my chopped and screw'd voice from the start of Ether. Nigga FUKK Jay-Z.
Look at Steven Carter
Jay-Z, 50,
————————————
Add a 5 to that 50. You’ll get his True Hollywood age.
Jay Z loves the idea of people believing that he’s this big business man but in reality Jay Z don’t own much of anything. His percentages be embarrassingly low. Look at the mess he’s in with Tidal. He’s under investigation for faking Beyonce and Kanye’s streaming numbers. He’s a hustling snitching crook and those white elites don’t trust him because he’s just like them. And he can be bought easily. They see that. If they didn’t allow Bill Cosby too own anything, they really not going to let a drug dealer be on their level. He’s a slave to the money. He can’t retire because he’s neck deep in contracts. He’ll be 70 and still having to perform.
Well damn!!!
LOL@ “The father-of-5” Love it!
None of this sh!t means anything to me, I’m just here to laugh at those with their panties in a bunch over Jay Z…..

What happened to Dame being a Harlem ni99a that doesn’t talk about other men?!? The same guy that coined the term “Chatty Patty” in hiphop is being exactly that!!
Now this is the reality of how this wicked industry, and those who control it works!
I said this yesterday that Jays camp leaked fake rumors that he would be team owner to TMZ for damage control.Jay and Bey religiously have done this their whole careers. Alot of comments on blogs were saying Jay had a master plan to rehire Colin. I believe those comments were strategically placed by Jays camp as well.
This entire press conference and public relations roll out is Tidal all over again.
Amateurish and embarrassing and we are talking about million dollar deals and hundreds of milllions to BILLIONS in public relations value for the league. I can ASSURE you the league is rethinking this whole deal and the Executive Committee is regretting getting into business with Jay Z.
This was worth a ton of money to Jays Bosses at LIVE NATION in super bowl advertising revenue, sponsorships,and the virtual control of one the worlds biggest entertainment platforms.
For Jay this should be a lesson for a life time. There is a Huge difference between (Pretending) CREATING THE IMAGE of being a Billionaire and actually being able to make real Billionaire moves.
I understand the dollar amount which has never been released by the way (strategically) would be hard to walk away from. But your legacy and your respect should have no NO PRICE.
That there is true
I would agree! He is getting plenty of enjoyment from this, there is NO WAY he wasn’t going to have something to say .
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are getting up there in age; Jay’s being groomed to be the next deflector, the fake-conscious kneegrow who tries to dissapate movements in the black community using confusion and empty words with no actual action..
They tried for years to serve J with a court ordered dna test but he allegedly dipped and dodged them.

Another day, another spin. A mess. I don’t even know why the NFL did this to themselves–seemed to me all the Colin shat had started to kinda calm down. And Jay lol– I’m so enjoying the fallout. He’s a snake & a pos for dealing with the NFL period–couldn’t have happen to a “nicer” guy. I wonder how mad is Beyonce over this immensely public beatdown he’s taking.??
Well Nas said he was 36 in a karate class in 2001. Math says 54 yo. Im rolling with Nasir.
Maybe, Matthew Knowles should speak out on Jay’s behalf to make some sense of this now circus NFL debacle.
That part??
Im shocked your fugly behind had the nerves to lie about speaking to kaep intimidate witnesses and still think that someone beside your tired fans believe you sit tf down or kneel whatever camels do to rest. Troll
Exactly! Auntie is the “still undefeated” queen of shade.
Lol
Id llike to add, Jay should really seek out some REAL BLACK BILLIONAIRES as mentors.He has never reached out to any of them. They can teach him how to move in the mostly white and jewish business world at the BILLLION DOLLAR LEVEL.
Tone down the arrogance and form better business partners in OUR COMMUNITY to make deals with.
Id like to see a photo of Jay standing with a collective of Black Billionaires making announcements about black business objectives that can truly shape our community instead of a room full of white guys pandering for our dollars.
I can 100 percent confirm that pr agencies hire people to positively comment on and spin stories. Yes there are huge offices spaces with people in there whose sole purpose is to comment favorably towards somebody.
Facts have you seen the staff at the Tidal and Roc nation offices… its like a flea that fell into a cup of milk… guess which is which..? Lol
It’s called shade. You KNOW how well Auntie does shade.
I think the funniest part of it all is that they had to come out and say Jay didn’t get to buy part of the team for 5 percent. He’s basically a glorified booking agent or talent scout for the NFL.
ALLLLLL OF THAT!
Not sure if it is true or not, but I heard Jay really isn’t a billionaire. Just more BS PR stuff.
I’m stuck at Jay Z letting himself be photographed gazing in the eyes and smiling in the face of that NFL bigot. Business is one thing and that’s bad enough but to project this friendly token black image is surprising even of Jay Z. He looks incredibly BOUGHT AND WEAK in that photo.
#TEAMDAME
#TEAMKAEP

And businessman Dame Dash, who founded Rocafella Records with Jay-Z in 1995, said in an interview, “Everybody knows Jay ain’t shit.”
I LOVE Dame and his fearless realness.
Speak!
Yeah he’s been 50 for a long time. It’s like him and his wife refuse to age, at least on paper anyway.
Poor Tink played finally himself..They knew he would take the bait..This man has that account for a reason and it’s NOT bcuz he’s a smart entrepreneur nor the MJ of rap! The facade is being exposed.. reptiles focus exclusively on staying alive, and they need to eat to do so. Snakes eat each other more than you may realize and on their playground Jay is nothing more than a garden snake…Next!
He is definatley NOT. This is one of the points I was making. If thats his GOAL to be one then seek mentors who made it.
They NEED Matthew Knowles. But they cut him off. Tell you one thing, with Matthew Knowkes there would never been a deal with profiling Barney’s and definitely not with NFL (unless they hired Kaep).
Amen.
Whatever camels do to rest…
****DEAD****????
YES!!!!!!!
NO PRICE!!!!!!!!!
That is a great reason to kneel!
Eric has shined a light and awareness of the murdering of black men by police for 3 years …
“Whatever camels do to rest” Lmao …#Hot tears and done!
Lmao…….I don’t want to see him perform now. And I sure as hell ain’t gonna want to see him TRYING to perform at 70.
Smoke and mirrors. 80 percent of his wealth is in stocks, he don’t have the cash . Him and Beyonce took out a 56 mil dollar mortgage on the 88 mil house they bought in Cali last year . A high end real estate agent said that was the biggest mortgage ever taking out on a home in Cali. He said normally someone who has the money they claim to have, would have purchased the house outright. Not to mention they were outbid on 2 other homes before buying this one. The reality is that it’s some nfl players who have more cash than Jay Z. Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees to name a few.
NFL aint the NBA. The Owners are mostly families, that aint hurting for money and or need partners to co own. The Jay part owner thing was always a black twitter rumor….like that HARD (roof of mouth cutting) DEEP FRIED, ALL CRUST, NO meat POPEYE’S Chicken sandwich is better than Chik Til A rumor y’all running with.
Steven Carter?
Go to the corner…..????
Woooooh…dame dash cleared it OUT didnt it..
But, But, But they are all taking money from the NFL – Jay with his new deal, players with their lucrative salaries, etc.. What a bunch of whiners and they continue to discriminate against each other. Jeez, Jay needs to get sophisticated, forward thinking Blacks behind him and leave these babies in the dust.
Note: hopefully he won’t concentrate on that demeaning, abusive rap music for half time shows. It’s a sport, people pay and want to be entertained.
Oh, this SHT gotta stop. So what if Jay made a deal? He can’t own a football team because no (white) owner is going to sell it to him. He’ll have to wait for a franchise to open up.
Can’t believe Jay fell for this and let himself be used. Jay showed a vulnerability in his armor.
The Williams Sisters already own part of the Miami Dolphins. They are the first blacks IMO to own a club.
Fess up! You went back and put it in the turkey slider didn’t you, Missy?
stop throwing shade sandra u know good n well jay only has 3 kids and furthermore yall dont know what plans jay had he is a grown ass man and can do what he wants with his billions
The NFL assumed Jay-Z’s influence within the Black community would
entice more Black people to buy tickets to games or tune into football
coverage on television. But they were wrong.
No way are black people going to sit in the stands and pay money to see a game. They sit at home and watch for free!!! The closest black people get to a game is at the tailgate.
He doesn’t reach to black billionaires because in his mind he’s competing with them. Also Jay and Bey both are into tokenized success. They like the pedestal of being the only or most wealthy black in the room.
DAME IS JUST MAD B/C JAY Z DUMPED HIM FOR SIGNING CAM AFTER HE PUT OUT A DISS RECORD ABOUT JAY W/O TALKING IT OVER WITH JAY FIRST. DAME WAS WILDING BACK THEN BUT IF JAY WOULD FVCK WITH HIM AGAIN HE’D GO RUNNING BACK WITH THE QUICKNESS………JENNY JONES!!!
He got 2 outside children so I’ve heard. Both boys and before Bey.
Nah I didn’t lolololol I did end up cooking a roast instead lololol …. will be eating the leftovers tonight ….. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2145db16962f0a5c9c1c4f89aeb34f66827be524b90bb7f89934f136211fb7ed.gif
This!! First sentence… Yes.
WELL I’D RATHER SEE SOMEONE SHOWING THEIR FACE WITH AN NFL BIGOT THEN HIDING BEHIND SO CALL BLACKNESS TO THE PUBLIC BUT STILL DOING BUSINESS AND TAKING MONEY FROM THE NFL BIGOT. I APPRECIATE KNOWING WHO I’M DEALING WITH SO I CAN DEAL WITH THEM ACCORDINGLY ESP IF WE HAVE TO DO BUSINESS………JENNY JONES!!!!
If anyone knows, it would be Dame. What happened between them?
????You defeated Popeye’s chicken sandwich!????
If sandra says that mf has 5 kids he got 5 kids, youre a fan shes in the business, settle down, angry.
I love dame
Kaep took himself out of the NFL when he took the buyout.
Facts
As usual you tell no lies
BUT THERE WHERE A ZILLION BLACK FOLKS TALKING ABOUT I STAND WITH KAP BUT GOT MONEY FROM THE NFL OR OFF OF SUPERBOWL WHICH WAS AN NFL EVENT WHEN IT CAME HERE TO ATLANTA SO TO ME THAT’S SOME FAKE TRYING TO SAVE FACE STAND WITH KAP BS. AND WE CAN……..JENNY JONES!!!
But that image of him giggling white that evil looking white dude will forever live on. And he didnt even get a piece of a team. Tapdancing fof what? Crumbs? Illusion of power? Yikes.
So true!
Jay doesn’t have billions. They are paying him to shut folk up! Easy money. Although all money ain’t good money, this is up Jay’s alley. He is a business!
You know him and his wife are the great black hope. He’s probably waiting on those black billionaires to reach out to him. I know mo ibrahim would never and neither rabiu nor alakija give a damn about him or his pony. And they’re the ones always mentoring young black business owners….
I thought Jay was mad at Dame for helping Karrine “Superhead” Steffans.
And even w/being a glorified booking agent, he undermined Jermaine to get that. Which insane, b/c he already’s rich beyond words. So why not let Dupri do his thing.
Jay isn’t a billionaire. He has riches, not wealth.
They deserved to be dragged too
My thing is dont be fake dont be offensive either, if youre not down with kaep dont be but if you are be it. Anyone who is supposedly team kaep but still involved with the nfl is a sell out too. It just so happen that jayz was loud in front of us and behind the scene with his fake support, telling folks not to perform and sheit only for him to now be in the front with the ennemy, its lame and there is no amount if what about-ism that can explain it
That’s sad if he doesn’t claim or acknowledge them.
Yes! She is the Queen of it!
EVERYONE NEEDS TO PUT KAP IN THE SAME BOAT WITH JAY B/C HE SOLD HIS SILENCE AND ANY BARGAINING LEVERAGE HE HAD WHEN HE SIGNED HIS SETTLEMENT DEAL WITH THE NFL. HE TOOK THE MONEY AND NOW IT’S EVERYONE ELSE’S JOB TO DO HIS JOB BIDDING FOR HIM. HE WAS AT THE SAME TABLE WITH THE SAME VULTURES THAT JAY Z WAS AT AND DIDN’T WRITE HIM A JOB AND SOME MONEY/PROGRAMS FOR BLACK INJUSTICE INTO THE DEAL BUT NOW THAT’S ALL JAY Z’S FAULT. BEY-0TCH PLEASE!!!!………JENNY JONES!!
so jay is worth 1 billion he isnt trying to shut anyone up and again its his money and can do what he wants black ppl sit around complaining trying to tell other black ppl what they should be doing when they are doing nothing to change anything nothing but commenting on ig and twitter dont even know what jay got up is sleeve but ready to “cancel” him like they been working hard to change anything. Furthermore, i dont see nfl players quitting but expect jay to turn down a deal
That’s crazy. He should just take the test and if the kid is his, provide financial support and find a way to get to know him.
first of im not angry by any means secondly she can say whatever but the FACT remains he has 3 kids
I keep hearing the same thing about Kylie Jenner.
YUP!! we have other stuff to spend our lilttle money on…
I think JayZ was intimidated by Beyonce’s father from the very beginning. I think he drive a wedge between the two. He wanted to be totally in control of the business that is Beyonce. And that wouldn’t happen w/Matthew around. Also, Matthew didn’t help his cause by cheating on Tina. But I believe even before then, he was angling to oust Matthew from the picture. Remember he grew up w/o a father, so Matthew was a no go.
Jay is being paid to shut the masses up. They hired him to produce the entertainment for the NFL, why? They look to him as an influential savior. But he has done nothing for me so I care less about his deal. I just hope that with this platform, light is shed in a dark place. Obviously, they thought enough to choose Jay out of all the prominent black leaders in the US. I’m not mad at Jay. He told us he is a business! Enough said.
My question is was Damon Dash trying to wife up Beyonce? Damon said every time he tried to talk with a girl Jay-Z would say “don’t talk to her” and then he’ll go and marry or wife her. So that leads me to believe Damon was trying to wife Beyonce. Listen to Damon on the TMZ website.
And when Solange had him hemmed up in that elevator.
At the Billion Dollar level, you know who is moving in specific strategic ways. Those true Billionaires see right through Jay as an illusionist, something like the Great and all Powerful Wizard of OZ ….that is until you pull back the curtain. Forbes is Not respected or even read at that level its known as a glossy Celeb Rag.
My point was you can see by Jays actions and who he surrounds him self with that he is not what he pretends to be and is comfortable pretending in the celeb world.
Jay and Bey are like parable of the Emperor with no cloths on. Its shame that so many people look to them as the great black hope as you said
Finally ppl see JIGGA BOO BOO FOR WHAT HE IS! He is no shrewd businessman he was just getting over on his black friends making ppl think he was smart! He has been exposed now. I hope ppl continue to keep this same energy against this Joe Camel looking clown!
My guess is Bey won’t let him.
Lol……sounds damn good to me. You have given me an idea for Sunday’s dinner. A roast with potatoes and baby carrots. That’s the ticket. Thanks Hun.
Over some white rice …. that’s what I’m eating tonight …… and I have some leftover lasagna for tommorrow … .Saturday I may buy something out lololol
“Everybody knows Jay ain’t shit.”????????????????
Especially if you live in a colder climate…
Ikr. I thought it was 3.5? Has paternity ever been established for that son he has in the islands?
It’s about time that he acknowledged his age after years of lying about being 39 yrs old. He and J Lo were born in the late 60’s and her ass just turned 50 last month. The both of them are only a few years older than Diddy and Mariah who were born in the early 70s.
It’s sad that artists like Patti, and Gladys who are well in their 70s have to keep performing to keep the lights on. The music industry is a cold one.
I would have dug that top pic more if his nails weren’t dirty.
Ummm. He could have tried all he wanted. Beyonce was not getting wth DD.
Cant stand a man with dirty or long nails. the ultimate turn off for me.
Tidal keep fukking up my phone with it’s slow streaming. I was on the $20 tier and I’m glad I ended up getting rid of it because the tech support wasn’t worth a damn. I was impressed at the time with him doing a streaming company.
On the run part 3 tour coming soon.

Right lmao
Lolololo rofl!!!!
I saw the pic of his staff and it was all white swedes.
Yeah I heard her mother is the one that reported the figure to Forbes.
I will list some bulleted items and then pose some questions for all to consider.
*Colin had been taking a knee before it was on the news
*Colin had no issues with the NFL while playing
*Colin’s issue was with police brutality
*Colin used his NFL platform to protest this issue
*NFL is like we ain’t got nothing to do with this issue; you’re hurting our bottom line; we are a business
*NFL says chill while you’re at work; after work “do you”
*Colin is like naw, Imma keep doing it.
*In the meantime, the original issue is distorted; it’s now hating the flag hating military personnel, needing black owners, etc.
*NFL says you’re hurting us and essentially bans Colin
*Colin sues NFL for collusion
*For reasons unknown to me, he agrees to a settlement
*Despite his allegations against the NFL, Colin is still willing to play in the NFL
Questions:
*Why did Colin agree to a settlement and not see his lawsuit to the end?
*Why hasn’t Colin said anything publicly about Jay Z?
*Could it be that in his settlement with the NFL he agreed to remain silent on all issues related to the NFL?
*Why does Colin still desire to play for a league he says banned him for kneeling but chose to accept a settlement versus letting the case play out?
*Why has the narrative changed from police brutality to Colin playing in the NFL again?
they really not going to let a drug dealer be on their level. THIS.
If he wanted to do something about police brutality, he should have been appealing to political leaders, including the former President who was in office when a lot of the incidents with police occurred.
?????????????? ??
Second that! He always been real o.g!
How u know who he reached out to.
But dame DID discover cam ..like he say jay aint shit cause he always wanna be FIRST to do something..
Why black folks act all innocent when shit like this happens? Now we’re all “RIGHTEOUS” and never did nobody wrong. like jay z aint group up in a project building with piss filled hallways. Goodam. Aint nobody perfect.
It’s baffling to me that he doesn’t see how grimy this makes him look. It’s a bad optic, no matter how you slice, dice, mince or chop it.
lol sooo true! the next deflector lol
A better publicist blacks in entertainment need..
I believe the roll out after calling people out is why many paused ….. It seems like a lot of distrust.
We don’t need anything from them. Just need them to stop with the lies. Seen this happening , what’s new not shocked. https://media1.giphy.com/media/2xIOiAPXonois/giphy.gif
she was stupid for letting that cheating mess go public. i would never let the world know my man cheated on me especially if i’ve been singing feminist crap my whole career. bey’s work ethic is admirable, but that move right there, not smart.
Revisit the Aaliyah situation and how she ended up with Dame. I posted about this a couple of days ago. Dame wasn’t allowed around Bey because of how shyt went down with Aaliyah. They were all friends even Aaliyah and Bey
I’m no business head but from what I read, she took over Colour Pop Cosmetics and marked her cosmetics by 3x the amount.
But to think that the media keeps running the narrative of her being a billionaire.
“Why hasn’t Colin said anything publicly about Jay Z?”
He did. How did you miss it?
Could it be that in his settlement with the NFL he agreed to remain silent on all issues related to the NFL?
Is that a rhetorical question? You know gag orders are standard in settlements, right?
“Why does Colin still desire to play for a league he says banned him for kneeling but chose to accept a settlement versus letting the case play out?”
If you got fired and your job offered you a severage package, would you not take it?
If the package was more than what you’d win after legal fees, missing other work opportunities for court, and giving your attorney 1/3, would you not take it?
Did you not write above his issue wasn’t his employer but police brutality?
Have you never wanted to go back to a job you love after being wrongfully terminated? This is not a rare phenomenon.
“Why has the narrative changed from police brutality to Colin playing in the NFL again?”
… You really don’t know the answer to that? ?
The aging rap mogul ?????
I did not see where Colin directly commented on the Jay Z deal with the NFL. If you have a site you can point me to, I will gladly check it out. I did see where he supported comments Eric Reid made. To me, that’s not commenting on it. I agree in most NDA, you are not able to comment on the case. I do wonder if part of the NDA was to remain silent on all issues involving the NFL, not just his case. I would not want to work for a company or business that I view as racist, biased, discriminatory, etc. If I agree to a settlement, I personally would not want to go work for that same company or business again. That’s just me though. I don’t know why the narrative has changed other than we as black people have focused on Colin being back in the NFL. I’m interested to know your view as to why it has changed.
She probably would have. Jay Z wasn’t Beyonce’s first choice, and vice versa.

LOL!!!!!
I hope that isn’t true. This was before her. The guy does look like Jay, but so does so many other people. I think we all have a twin. I use to get picked on just because people thought I was my two of my cousins. My family genes are strong.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AUTOMATIC turn off and disqualification girl.
Live Nation 360 Slave Deal, Failed J Hotels, Brooklyn Nets less than a percentage of 1% percent,Barney Department Store, Barclays Gentrification, 5 failed 40/40 Clubs, Tidal Fiasco, NFL Fiasco
Finally the fact that he is a classic narcissist who went out of his way to be photographed and interveiwed and put out massive press releases for the world to see him with several well known white popular culture Billionaires.
They will study this article in Universities as a text book example of throwing Shade on a Doctorial Level.

Lol lol
They need to study narcissism as a mental illness for gun control.
1. Narcissism
2.Schizophrenia
3.Bi-polar
4.Borderline personality disorder
Word!!!
I agree, its crazy, I promise if Black Men where running around the US committing Mass Shootings in White Grade Schools, High Schools, Universities, Post Offices, and Places of employment GUNS WOULD BANNED FOR EVER. LOL LOL. A long time ago.
But I read some place about a Federal Law that has already been signed where gun manufactors have limited number of years to organize and get set up to implement new technology that would have Biometrics worked into the guns handle so only the original owner could use them. It reads your finger print and palm print.
And this effects you’re daily life how?
Facts
Right!
We all should write letters to NAMI for research on evaluation for this on-going pattern. Call it self-awareness for protection from automatic rifles. A complete medical and development history form updated for gun owners. Thank you for the information on your research .
lol
Yes it is….. but I would pay to see them perform any day. But Jay-Z, no ma’am.
Jay is 55 according to Star of the former show Star n Buckwild. Star says he saw Jays drivers license back in the day.
Gurl……You have hit all of my good spots. Who doesn’t love a good lasagna? A good roast with gravy over some white rice with a side veggie is the ish. #Drooling
My crockpot is heating up now chile

Well said
Tea
Oh my god i forgot about all his failed business ventures, he buries things so fast when they tank
https://media3.giphy.com/media/1d6ov2lJGIM1y/giphy.gif
Lol now that you cant convince us that this move was somehow in favor of black people, you’re using the we cant have anything card. What did jayz figure out that is so treat and we’re not letting him be? Ill wait.
Dame is suave and beyonce was pretty gorgeous in her hey days, i wouldnt be shocked if dame was plotting on her but didnt make the move since she was supposedly 15 at the time… jayz loves to tell how he saw her at a party and just knew, dame was the one at that party with him. So maybe. I know they had hella beef over rachel roy too
Dre Day eazy e dancing
So did i. Actually another time she called on tv to stop a girl from getting surgery to look like her (seemed staged) and the girl was 23 at the time when beylala was supposedly 17 but she slipped up and said we’re the same age while talking to ole girl.
I just asked a question baby. That’s all
This situation reminds me of this video. Cut it out Jay.
https://media0.giphy.com/media/iLrf99U278f9C/giphy.gif.
lmaoooo opportunistic camel
What hate? I simply reported the news.
I told you what he said about Jay-Z.
Hey, Ashland. ??
I keep telling folks that bill is not liquid cash but folks get caught up in that net worth lingo. Even Epstein was worth $576 mill and only $56 mill was cash the rest was properties and other assets
I forgot about Cathy chile?????
Yeah, but for at least two decades the media was running with that 39 age.
I’m glad I had the pleasure of seeing Gladys Knight perform at Foxwoods casino back in ’04. She put on a good show with her brother Bubba who still had it.lol! Brian Mcfight I mean McKnight was her opening act.
I think they settled out of court for back child support ?
Wow! I hope he is actually in this guy’s life. And if he paid back child support, it means the child is his. Sad situation all around.
Not a single fact. Where’s the receipts that he was paid to shut the masses up? Or does it just sound provocative and ‘deep’?
But if it’s PUBLIC knowledge and all over the world wide web, how is he burying anything?
#nocriticalthinkingskills
He is being paid. Again Jay is a business. Of all the people they could call on, they chose Jay. He accepted. That speaks volumes. Jay isn’t a savior and that’s probably how people see him. I don’t, but I get it.
I appreciate it. Truly, I didn’t feel like typing a response to explain what should have been the obvious lol.
Everything you said supports why you asked the inquiries initially. Also, I agree that I wouldn’t desire nor try to work with an organization that I felt was racist, I had to file a grievance, AND I won a settlement against. Kap, and others who don’t see or understand this, get a side eye from me.
Hell, you don’t hear much from Brian McKnight anymore, at least I don’t. I was through with him when he went all vulgar on me. I had not listened to him since. So the Brian McFight thing? Has he been fighting and I missed it since I cut him loose? Do tell.
Let’s clear something up, It is FACTUAL that Beyonce outraged MANY, MANY Leo’s, their wives, friends, family members, haters, racists and tax payers with her formation video. They (Leo’s) and some of the public even felt that they shouldn’t have to work security for her if her implication of them were theyre racist that don’t care about black lives. (GOOGLE THE OUTRAGE)
That video was released on 2/6/16; the next day 2/7/16 she performed the song at the Superbowl which incised more hatred towards her and her political views being a musician.
Fast forward to 8/16 when Colin sat down during their first preseason game in protest and in their 2nd one he bowed a knee. If the Carter’s jumped on the bandwagon of publicly bringing awareness of police brutality; is wasn’t AFTER him. Call them hypocrites all day long but Colin brought public awareness of police brutality AFTER them!!
This month is August, he just reminded the world of his 3rd year anniversary of him protesting against policy brutality this week but her video that showed police officers with their guns drawn on black people for nothing came out 3 years ago this PAST March!!!
It’s business so get out of your emotions black folks.
He’s all over the blogs now talking about his children. He accused his niece of sleeping with her cousin, and his sons have made some not good remarks about him too. I saw videos on Youtube about it.
Chile…….Thanks for the info. He is something else I see. I guess I’m going to youtube. Thanks again
No prob… Talented man, but a mess. His old music was so nice.
It was. That is why when he changed up on me with the vulgar mess, I was like what the hell!! Now I don’t even care if he is back to the old Brian McKnight or not. I am done with him. Enjoy your weekend.
You enjoy yours too.
Really confused after trying to read this sh!t you just wrote. I need you to re-read this slowly and try again, cause this made no sense.
In the mean time I will try to address what I was able to comprehend.
Never was my job or position to “convince” you or any one else on how this move would favor black people. Exactly where did you get that assumption from in my post? I’ll wait!
So, explain to me exactly what this move is supposed to do since you’re convinced that it don’t favor black people?
“you’re using the we cant have anything card.” WTF..lol. You’re just making sh1t up now…lol
You didnt understand it but you answered it that makes sense. Dummy
Say It Again! Dame!
I didn’t “answered” I responded to the post. Even bigger Dummy!
and All Business ain’t good business.
Why you see the nails KERN! LOL
Jay z is supposely a billionare, but he can’t get his nails done, that speaks volumes in who he pretends to be, If it does not come out in the wash, it will come out in the rinse. He’s so forthcoming with his past indiscretions concerning his drug life, adultery, and how many people he has back stabbed. He will do anything to stay revelant, I mean how many more concerts can he continue to stand by his wife as a performer. if it wasn’t for Bey he would be washed up. His new look is not very appealing. He needs to get a life and quit riding on other’s tail.
