The topic of conversation remained focused on Jay Z and his new business venture with the NFL and this week, Diddy decided to weigh in with his thoughts.
Diddy took to Instagram with a clip of Jay Z during his NFL press conference with a lengthy caption that read:
Hov is one of the greatest to ever do this, he’s been there more than anyone in hip hop culture, myself included. He has always been selfless and fights for others. As a people we cannot be divided and conquered at this time!!
I am so proud of @kaepernick7 and the attention he was able to provide and the efforts he continues to deploy. I will continue to support him in any way possible.
I’m also proud of my brother JAY Z for showing how it should be done! It’s time to play chess, not checkers, I believe he will do incredible things.
I was watching the whole thing last week but it made my heart hurt because I know this man personally. He is one of the most genuine and intelligent black leaders we have ever had. We can’t compete, there aren’t enough of us. I applaud Jay Z and I applaud the NFL for bringing him in.
It’s not just about the NFL, it’s about how black and brown people are treated every day across this country. We need to come together and make the tough decisions, no one will do it for us.
I believe in taking action, taking steps in the right direction and I support all my brothers who are here to ACT.
Together we are unstoppable. #BLACKEXCELLENCE!! Happy Monday!! Be awesome!
