Colin Kaepernick’s NFL workout took place over the weekend, but Jay-Z is reportedly upset at Kap for turning the workout into a “publicity stunt.”
A source close to the situation told Complex that Jay feels “disappointed” with his actions and believes he turned a “legitimate workout” into a publicity stunt. Kaepernick passed on a workout hosted by the NFL and organized his own after the league blocked media access.
Some speculate that the move was that so his stellar workout was captured on camera so that the NFL could not publicly dismiss his efforts as a bust.
“Our biggest thing with everything today was making sure we had transparency with what went on. We weren’t getting that elsewhere so we came out here,” Kaepernick told reporters. “We appreciate what y’all do. We appreciate y’all being here today. We appreciate the work y’all do for the people and telling the truth.”
