New York rapper Joey Bada$$ is riding behind Colin Kaepernick. The hip-hop newcomer has weighed-in on the San Francisco 49ers quarterback’s publicized stance against the national anthem.
In a recent interview, Joey spoke up on the importance of Kaepernick taking a controversial stand in an effort to raise awareness of social injustice.
“I think Colin Kaepernick is really important because we haven’t seen an athlete step up and really address these social issues – racial injustice issues – going on in the world since Muhammad Ali. I think the fact that Colin is stepping up is really what we need. And I think more athletes should step up as well.” (106 KMEL)
A few weeks ago, fellow New York rapper Styles P applauded Kaepernick’s stance.
Recently, NFL superstar Cam Newton spoke out on the negativity surrounding CK.
