Over the past few hours, both Puff Daddy and Tip lit up their Instagram pages to show support for NFL free agent/Black Lives Matter activist Colin Kaepernick but also explain saluting JAY.
A few days ago, music manager Wack 100 went to Instagram and didn’t hold back on checking JAY’s former business partner Dame Dash for trashing JAY’s NFL partnership.
In a new interview, Dame said JAY’s true motivation for linking up with the NFL centered on money.
“I mean, everybody knows JAY ain’t sh*t. If you ask anyone in the industry, it’s a common knowledge that JAY ain’t sh*t. … He’s about the bag. We all know that. He’s self-preserving. Period. It’s just that the people he does it to don’t have Beyoncé next to ’em. They don’t have that kind of power, but this dude here, everyone’s looking.” (No Jumper)
