Nessa Diab Says Jay-Z Cut Deal Without Consulting Kaepernick
What Happened Between Jay-Z And Colin Kaepernick?
Nessa Diab, wife of Colin Kaepernick, is supporting Nicki Minaj in her feud with Jay-Z and Roc Nation, revealing behind-the-scenes details of the NFL’s partnership with the company. Diab allegedly claims Roc Nation helped the NFL spin the narrative after Kaepernick’s protest, using Jay-Z as a shield to deflect criticism. She asserts that Jay-Z never consulted Colin before finalizing his NFL deal and debunks rumors about Kaepernick being offered opportunities to return to the league. In a lengthy video and tweet, Diab mentioned Nicki’s recent statements about dealing with alleged tactics from Roc Nation. Diab said she saw the same kind of manipulation when it came to Kaepernick, including efforts to discredit him in the media. Diab highlights the lack of transparency in the 2019 NFL workout and emphasizes the importance of Kaepernick’s grievance to protect his career and others who protested.
Diab also addressed a major rumor: that Kaepernick was given opportunities to return. She insists he has never been offered a coaching or playing job by any NFL team, despite what critics claim about supposed workouts or tryouts.She blamed unnamed individuals for spreading untrue stories about Kaepernick not wanting to return or asking for high contracts.
When it comes to the 2019 NFL workout in Atlanta, Diab revealed why Colin pulled out: the NFL’s waiver would have forced him to give up future legal rights. They also refused to make the workout public or allow his team to film, raising red flags about transparency. Jay-Z, and Roc Nation have stayed silent so far on Nessa Diab’s claims. What she said has reignited conversations about how the NFL manages player activism, the role big entertainment companies play in sports politics, and the ways public narratives are created and controlled.
Nessa Diab said she isn’t looking to bring up old arguments again. Instead, she wants to point out ongoing issues and deeper systemic problems that still shape fairness and accountability in pro sports.
