Nessa Diab is standing ten toes down for her husband Colin Kaepernick and Nicki Minaj’s anti-Roc Nation crusade, claiming the protesting pro player suffered “similar smear tactics” to the rapper’s allegations. The Hot 97 star also clarified her relationship status because she’s officially Mrs. Kaepernick.
As previously reported, Nicki Minaj seemingly picked up where Kanye left off in his beef with Jay-Z, accusing Roc Nation of career sabotage. While the Queen of Rap sparked some side-eye in her $200 million mission to collect her Barbie bucks from the music mogul, she also gained a new supporter. Nessa entered the chat with “similar” allegations of conspiracies against Colin Kaepernick.
The Nessa Off Air star took to X, formerly Twitter, to call out Roc Nation and CEO Desiree Perez for accepting $25 million to “bury the growing protest” Kap famously started by kneeling during the national anthem before NFL games.
Nessa went on to claim “Jay purposely co-opted Colin’s protest by siding with the NFL” after the league “blackballed him” for the peaceful protesting. She said that she “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.” However, she credited Nicki as one of the only people willing to “expose” similar allegations against Roc Nation. Or what Nessa called in her caption on Instagram, “THE SAME OL’ BLUEPRINT.”
“@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,” she wrote on Wednesday.
“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,’” she continued, quoting an ESPN article she included as a screenshot.
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 added from a report by Nola.com, also screenshotted in the post. 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,” she continued.
