Almost everyone in attendance at Hard Rock Stadium during Super Bowl Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, February 2, stood while Demi Lovato sang the national anthem, but Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce remained seated.
The move puzzled former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick because when Jay attended a press conference in August 2019 to talk about his and Roc Nation's multiyear partnership with the NFL, to enhance the NFL's live game experiences and to amplify the league's social justice efforts he said: "I think we've passed kneeling. I think it's time to go to actionable items."
Kaepernick famously chose to start kneeling during the national anthem in 2016, to call attention to the issues of racial inequality and police brutality.
Many believe that got him blackballed by the NFL, even though he was/is good enough to at least earn a backup role on one of the 32 teams.
Kaepernick reacted to Jay and Beyonce sitting Sunday In an Instagram Story re-post of a friend who tagged him, He shared an image from a TMZ story about Hov and Bey's actions during the anthem with the words, "I thought we were 'past kneeling' tho?" written on the picture.
What do you think of Jay sitting during the national anthem. Is he being a hypocrite?

Future says he's sick and tired of his alleged baby mama talking about their sexual encounters with anyone who'll listen ... and now he's suing her.
The rapper just filed suit against Eliza Seraphin, the woman alleging Future fathered his SEVENTH child with her, for defamation and invasion of privacy.
According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, Future claims Eliza's sharing intimate facts about him from their private sexual relationship in order to gain clout and squeeze money outta him.
Future doesn't address whether he's the father to Eliza's child, but he says they had a sexual relationship from 2016 to 2018 and claims he never would have slept with her in the first place if he knew she would kiss and tell.
In the docs, Future claims Eliza gave a vivid description of his genitals during an interview on Rah Ali's Onsite on Stationhead and then blasted it out to her Instagram followers.
In the suit, Future also claims Eliza is spreading lies about him on social media -- like the time she claimed he hired someone to murder her because she wouldn't get an abortion -- and claims it's hurting his brand and causing substantial emotional distress.
Future wants a court to stop Eliza from trashing his name publicly and he's going after her for damages.

(CNN) -- A Detroit man is recovering after a woman he was kissing bit off his tongue, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office.
Youlette Wedgeworth, 52, and the man were engaged in a consensual kiss on January 28 when the incident occurred, police and prosecutors allege. She had asked him to not put his tongue in her mouth. When he did anyway, she bit it off, Prosecutor Eric J. Smith told CNN affiliate WXYZ.
CNN has attempted to reach Wedgeworth for comment.
Police responded to the incident and found the man bleeding from his mouth and missing about 1 inch of his tongue, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
"I believe this is the first case of this nature in my 27 years in the prosecutor's office," Smith said in the statement.
Police were able to recover the man's tongue in his apartment bedroom. He was transported to an area hospital and Wedgeworth was taken into custody without further incident, the prosecutors office said.
There was no immediate word of the man's condition.
Wedgeworth was charged with aggravated assault, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
A pre-trial conference is scheduled for February 19.

(CNN) Joaquin Phoenix urged the film industry to dismantle a "system of oppression" in an acceptance speech at the British Academy Film Awards on Sunday.
Phoenix, who won the award for best leading actor for "Joker," criticized the lack of diversity among the nominated creators and performers this awards season, saying the issue could no longer be ignored.
Phoenix said that while he felt "honored" to be in attendance and appreciated the support from the BAFTA organization, he was "ashamed" that actors of color were not afforded the "same privilege."
"I feel conflicted because so many of my fellow actors that are deserving don't have that same privilege. I think that we send a very clear message to people of color that you're not welcome here," Phoenix said. "I think that's the message that we're sending to people that have contributed so much to our medium and our industry and in ways that we benefit from."
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts stirred controversy last month when it was revealed that no people of color were nominated in the four film acting categories. This year's list of Oscar nominees -- predominantly male and white -- earned similar criticism.
"I don't think anybody wants a handout or preferential treatment, although that's what we give ourselves every year," Phoenix continued. "I think people want to be appreciated and respected for their work."
Phoenix acknowledged that he views himself as "part of the problem."
"I have not done everything in my power -- not all sets I've worked on are inclusive," he added.

On the 33rd episode of People's Party, Talib Kweli and Jasmin Leigh sit down with rapper, actor, producer, director, writer, sports league founder, and all-around legend among legends: Ice Cube. The conversation covers a multitude of subjects and starts at the beginning -- with the story of Cube growing up with aspirations of playing pro-football before transitioning into one of the most respected, prolific lyricists of all-time. The trio discusses the origins of Ice Cube classics like "Boyz-n-the-Hood" and "It Was A Good Day," the booming growth of the BIG3 basketball league, and emcees who had the most impact on the development of Cube's pen-game.
Later in the episode, Cube is asked if there is such a thing as a good cop, and they discuss police force gang mentality and bullying within the department to escape accountability. Cube also sums up why so much of America loves Trump, how he balances family-friendly entertainment while still maintaining his gangsta-rap persona, and stories surrounding the making of "Janky Promoters," and the Friday franchise. They also discuss how Cube's group Westside Connection was formed as a response to some of the East Coast backlash to West Coast rap dominance of the airwaves at the time, and reflect on how he feels about beefs of the past with Common and B-Real of Cypress Hill.

Azriel Clary has fully removed herself from R. Kelly's corner -- she's now cooperating with investigators in his federal sex crimes case in New York, according to sources with direct knowledge.
We've learned Clary has provided info about her experiences with the singer, and this time around, we're told she's not playing the role of supportive GF.
We broke the story ... Azriel was considering flipping on Kelly after cutting ties with him, and following a nasty fight with Joycelyn Savage while she was moving her stuff out of his condo. However, Clary was afraid ... because she'd allegedly lied to federal agents several times in the past to cover for Kelly.
We're told Azriel's no longer fearful of speaking out against Kelly and cooperating with the feds ... because she's finally fully disconnected from him and his team and wants to take control of her life.
There have been repercussions to her decisions ... our sources say she and her family have received death threats and been the target of online harassment since she left R. Kelly.
We're told prosecutors are monitoring the threats, along with those of the other alleged Kelly survivors ... but Clary's not letting it intimidate her.
As we reported ... Azriel has now moved back in with her family. Our sources say she's also focused on trying to help other women who've been in a similar situation ... whether with Kelly, or anyone else.
Helping the feds in their case against him is just the first step.
Kelly's lawyer, Steven Greenberg, tells TMZ he's not surprised by this development. He says, "It's not news to me. I've suspected it all along, but you can't get in the way of love... Rob's love for her."

Things have been rocky as of late for Antonio Brown.
Over the past ten months the former All-Pro wide receiver was traded by the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Oakland Raiders, only to be cut six months later after a series of bizarre off the field incidents.
Brown was subsequently picked up by the New England Patriots, who released him after only one game on the heels of sexual assault claims by his former trainer, Britney Taylor.
Brown has also feuded publicly with the mother of three of his four children Chelsie Kyriss.
On January 24, the NFL free agent was arrested and charged with one count of felony burglary and battery following an alleged physical altercation with a moving truck driver at his Hollywood, Florida home. Brown was later released after posting $100,000 bond.
The incident appears to have given Brown the wake up call he's needed.
Last week he publicly apologized to the police department in Hollywood and today Brown offered a mea culpa to Kyriss via his Instagram page.
"First and foremost, I will love to Thanks the most high “God” for allowing the “God” thats in me to really look deep into myself, Mainly because greater the spirit thats in us,than the spirit thats Of the world," Brown wrote. "And me being a “God” fearing man first, Truly understand That I owe my wonderful Kids and the mother @chelsie of my wonderful kids, The world Biggest Apology, for my Public out breaks through social media, and for the hurt that I may have took them through while on my Emotional roller Coaster that were all are face with in Life."
Let's hope this is a sign of better things to come for Brown.

Boosie Badazz can stop sweating it out in GA -- he's avoiding any jail time in his drug case.
The Louisiana rapper pled guilty to misdemeanor possession of marijuana. In exchange, prosecutors dropped charges of possession of a controlled substance and failure to maintain lane ... this according to docs from the Coweta County D.A.'s Office.
It's a nice deal for Boosie, who gets 6 months probation and a $1,000 fine ... but no time behind bars. The judge has already signed off on the deal.
It could have been a lot more serious. As we reported. Boosie was busted last April after cops pulled him over in his Dodge Charger for swerving lanes and almost hitting another car. During the stop, cops found weed, a gun and more than $20k in cash.
Boosie was never booked for the gun -- it's likely he was licensed to have it.
He'd previously served 5 years in Louisiana for drug charges, and could have been hit with a year in a Georgia jail if convicted on all charges.
