MTV reporter Nessa Diab rallied behind Nicki Minaj while slamming Jay-Z and Roc Nation, comparing their “smear campaign” comparing it to what Colin Kaepernick dealt with:
In a recent Instagram story post, Nessa revealed that she and Colin Kaepernick got married, referring to herself as “his wife.” Nessa announced their marriage in a video where she went up to bat for Nicki Minaj, who’s in the midst of a public feud with Jay-Z, Roc Nation, Megan Thee Stallion and Desiree Perez.
Back in 2019, the legendary rapper and Roc Nation announced a working partnership with the NFL. Jay-Z drew criticism when he said, “I think we’ve moved past kneeling. I think it’s time for action,” about the protests by Kaepernick and multiple NFL players.
In the aforementioned Instagram post, Nessa backed Minaj and compared her situation to what Colin Kaepernick went through.
“Sadly, I knew it wasn’t even a question, because I saw it happen to Colin. And I called this out years ago. That’s why, sadly, I’m re-addressing everything over. But again, do your research, go back to the timeline. It’s all there.
And the worst part…were the smear campaigns that were happening behind the scenes to try to discredit Colin publicly. To sway people to think that Colin was okay being blackballed.”
Here is Nessa’s full statement:
Hi everyone. If you’re wondering why I readdressed previous issues with Jay Z, Desiree Perez + Roc Nation recently, it’s because I saw NICKIMINAJ sharing her experiences of dealing with similar smear campaigns from them and people questioning her.
I believe what she said, because I saw them do similar manipulative tactics behind the scenes againstkaepernick7 when they partnered with the NFL on the back of Colin’s protest. The NFL used Jay Z as a shield to smooth over the fact that they blackballed Colin for his protest.
There have been a looooot of people who think they know the story or purposely not fact checking the narratives they’re running with. Here it is again: Colin was wrongfully punished for protesting police killing Black people; systemic racism. Colin never broke a law or violated any league or team rule by protesting.
Colin was NEVER offered a single job as a player OR as a coach since his protest. NEVER! Jay Z NEVER spoke to Colin before making his deal with the NFL. He only spoke to Colin AFTER and Jay knew that Colin did NOT agree with it. The conversation was left in a very bad place. I know this FIRST hand because I heard it myself.
And YES, Jay’s team was specifically trying to discredit Colin behind the scenes to the media. It was disgusting. They could’ve left Colin alone and gone about their business dealings – but their egos couldn’t handle the backlash. So, of course discrediting Colin was part of their strategy.
Colin filed his grievance only AFTER we all realized he was being blackballed. He used his legal right to protect his livelihood and career because it was clear the league was keeping him out; which is AGAINST THE LAW.
He hoped his grievance would protect other protesters, and it did briefly. Ultimately the league pushed Eric Reid out after he set 2 franchise records his last season – never to play again. Colin, a Super Bowl Quarterback, was NOT protesting his employment. He fought so hard to continue his career because he loves football.
And when it comes to the NFL workout in Atlanta, Colin did not partake BECAUSE the NFL’s workout waiver had language that would waive his future employment rights, which is NOT a standard waiver.
AND they would not allow it to be open to the public (even though previously they said it could be). AND they would NOT let Colin’s team film it – so the NFL would have been able to misrepresent how it went.
They even tried to add that same verbiage into the CBA, only for the NFLPA to reject it.
COLIN’S DOC WILL HAVE RECEIPTS.
