New York rapper 50 Cent is showing his support for Colin Kaepernick. The hip-hop veteran hit up social media this week to share a hilarious shot of himself photoshopped onto the Black Lives Matter activist’s body.
Fif went to Instagram last night with a pic of himself kneeling in a pic taken from Kaepernick’s San Francisco 49ers days.

In October, comedian Amy Schumer raised eyebrows after sharing some seriously woke words against the NFL and revealing her support for Kaepernick.

The same week, reports emerged about R&B superstar Rihanna backing out of performing at Super Bowl LIII in support of Kaepernick.
“The NFL and CBS really wanted Rihanna to be next year’s performer in Atlanta,” the insider reveals. “They offered it to her, but she said no because of the kneeling controversy. She doesn’t agree with the NFL’s stance.” Kaepernick, who once admitted to having a crush on Rihanna, was the first NFL player to kneel during the national anthem in protest of police brutality and racial inequality.

In September, reports emerged about rap star Cardi B possibly wanting her own set at next year’s Super Bowl halftime show.
Our sources say Cardi is in negotiations to perform her song with Maroon 5, “Girls Like You” — and the main issue being discussed is whether or not CB gets a solo set. We’re told she’s getting a lot of offers to perform in early February … so she’s trying to make the best deal possible. Super Bowl LIII is being held in Atlanta, and some fans were hoping the NFL would give props to the ATL’s hot music scene. (TMZ)
