NESSA

‼️‼️‼️📣📣📣 @NICKIMINAJ exposing the smear campaign tactics that Jay-Z, Roc Nation, Desiree Perez did to her behind the scenes, is VERY similar to what I was told they did to @Kaepernick7 when Jay purposely co-opted Colin’s protest by siding with the NFL to help “their image” after they blackballed Colin for his protest. I called them all out YEARS ago and so many people were scared to say it publicly, but would tell me how they agreed with me privately. Smh Roc Nation apparently took $5 million a year over 5 years to bury the growing protest, AND specifically help them “move beyond the controversy around teams' unwillingness to sign Kaepernick.” Desiree even said "We love that everybody wants to be on the stage, that we've completely changed the conversation to fighting for it versus boycotting. We've come a long way." She got her pardon by Trump - no coincidence the NFL owners are his buddies and also donated millions to his campaign. I still don’t watch that league or whoever is performing at whatever game they have playing. #stillwithkap #FOREVER
