JAY-Z and Roc Nation raised some eyebrows when they announced a partnership the National Football League last August. Many felt it was a slap in Colin Kaepernick’s face, who’d fought tirelessly to bring awareness to police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem and was seemingly blacklisted by the NFL for doing so.

But on “Flux Capacitor” from Jay Electronica’s long-delayed debut A Written Testimony, Hov addresses the controversy and denies he’s a sell-out.

“Why would I sell out?” he raps. “I’m already rich, don’t make no sense/Got more money than Goodell, a whole NFL bench/Did it one-handed like Odell, handcuffed to a jail/I would’ve stayed on the sideline if they could’ve tackled that shit themselves.

“You backstabbers gon’ turn me back to the old Jay/He’s not who you wanna see, he’s not as sweet as the old Ye.”
