She revealed she’s revisiting old claims because Nicki Minaj’s recent X posts struck a nerve. Nessa said Nicki “shared her experience of going through different smear campaigns and what happens behind the scenes” involving Jay-Z, Desiree Perez, and Roc Nation. This reignited Nessa’s fire, as she explained, “Sadly, I knew it wasn’t even a question because I saw it happen to Colin, and I called this out years ago.” Furthermore, she urged fans to “do your research, go back to the timeline, it’s all there,” insisting she’s not new to exposing this alleged sabotage from Colin’s NFL protest days.Nessa Stands Firm On Her Claims Against Jay-ZNessa didn’t hold back on Hov either, sharing more allegations on how Jay-Z allegedly threw Colin under the bus. She claimed smear campaigns tried to “discredit Colin publicly, to sway people to think that Colin was okay with being blackballed, or [Colin] was asking for a lot of money to play again.” However, Nessa shut that last rumor down, emphasizing that Colin was never offered a job following his protest.Additionally, Nessa made accusations over Jay-Z’s 2019 NFL “Inspire Change” deal, alleging that he never consulted Colin before signing the agreement. “Jay-Z only spoke to Colin after he made that deal, and he was okay with it and knew exactly what it would do to Colin,” she said, adding, “You know how I know? I was there. I heard the conversation.” Nessa’s claiming Jay-Z’s move was a calculated play to boost the NFL’s image while leaving Colin sidelined.

Nessa Diab Tweeted THIS About Jay-Z And Roc Nation On XOn July 16, Nessa lit up X with a post accusing Jay-Z, Roc Nation, and Desiree of orchestrating smear campaigns against her partner. Her tweet read:“@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.”Additionally, Nessa alleged Roc Nation pocketed an alleged $5 million a year for five years to “bury” Colin’s protest movement and shift the narrative from his blackballing. She even shaded Desiree’s 2021 Trump pardon, hinting at alleged NFL owner ties.RELATED: Listen! Nessa Diab Reveals Colin Kaepernick Is Applying Pressure And Still Eyeing That NFL Comeback!
