Jay-Z reportedly turned down
a request to perform during halftime at the 2018 Super Bowl. The aging
rapper declined the offer to show solidarity with unemployed quarterback
Colin Kaepernick, who is currently blackballed by the NFL for taking a knee during the national anthem.
In related Jay-Z news, the 47-year-old rap mogul and his wife Beyonce Knowles
are on an art buying spree. The power couple reportedly shut down a
Meatpacking District art gallery so they could shop for artwork by a
particular artist named Sadie Barnette.
Barnette has an art exhibit titled “Compland” at the Fort Gansevoort
arts and culture complex, featuring artwork depicting the late pop icon Prince. The title of the exhibit refers to both Compton and Oakland, according to W magazine.
Barnette’s father, Rodney Barnette, founded the Compton chapter of the Black Panthers in 1968.
