Jay-Z and Beyonce “sat” with Kaepernick at Super Bowl 54.
No, not literally, but when Demi Lovato sang the national anthem at the beginning of the game, Jay, Bey and Blue Ivy remained in their seats, a few rows back from the field.
It was a clear display of solidarity for the former quarterback who famous kneeled during performances of the anthem to protest police brutality. They were the only ones in their section seated during the “Star-Spangled Banner” — even the family’s bodyguard was standing at attention. Moments later, DJ Khaled came through to show The Carters love. (TMZ)
Hot Takes:
- People were too quick to criticize Hov for his involvement with the NFL.
- He’s really having his cake and eating it too. Taking money from the NFL while protesting it.
- Don’t take it personally, Demi.
