Nessa Diab Reignites Debate About Colin Kapernick’s Career After She Accuses Jay-Z & Roc Nation of Plotting On His Downfall
Even many diehard fans of Jay-Z said his claim that “we’ve moved past kneeling” never sat right with them. However, Nessa’s statement left fans divided over the role he really played in saving or allegedly “sabotaging” Kap’s career.
Some comments questioned the timeline because Kap’s protests started in 2016 and teams subsequently blackballed Kap in 2017, two years before Roc Nation’s 2019 deal to produce the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Another reply posted a clip stating that Jay-Z actually leveraged his influence to pressure NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell into setting up a workout with Kap and several teams.
Ssocial media users even recirculated rumors blaming Nessa and Kap for being the ones to sabotage his chance at a comeback. For example, the former 49ers star changed the location and time of the NFL workout at the last minute, which reportedly led to fewer teams attending than the original location.
As another response pointed out, Ray Lewis claimed that the Ravens were close to signing Kap, but Nessa’s tweet trolling him somehow tanked the potential deal. The post juxtaposed Lewis embracing Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and a scene from Django Unchained where Leonardo DiCaprio’s slaveowner character was embraced by Samuel L. Jackson, playing his most loyal slave, who was willing to sell out and sacrifice other enslaved Black people to appease his master. She tagged the Hall-of-Famer with nothing else in the post except a bullseye emoji.
“We were going to close the deal to sign him. Steve Bisciotti said, ‘I want to hear Colin Kaepernick speak to let me know that he wants to play football.’ And it never happens because that picture comes up the next day,” Lewis revealed, according to ESPN.
Nessa Diab Checks Media Outlets About Her Relationship Status With Colin Kaepernick: “Do Some Research!”
As bold as it is for fans to argue with Nessa about what she and her husband went through, one part of her statement is absolutely not up for debate. The radio baddie is without a doubt “#StillWithKap #FOREVER.”
Nessa fact-checked reports that she is a girlfriend or longtime partner of the controversial quarterback. The outspoken celebrity couple is married.
“For all the publications out there, do some research! Adjust it! I’m not Colin’s girlfriend, roommate, or whatever. I’m his wife! I know research and getting information is a rare thing nowadays, but let’s restore some integrity,” she said on Instagram Live.
“I had to reappear like I was Candy Man! I prefer not to, I really do. You’re lucky I had a baby with my husband. It gave you couple years off, but I’m good! I got lots of energy. I don’t want to have to set examples,” she ominously concluded.
Welp, the adorable family may keep their personal lives somewhat private, but put some respect on their marriage! The media maven clearly has a way with words and she’s about that action when it comes to defending her family, no matter how big the opposition is.
