Carolina Panthers player Eric Reid isn’t feeling Jay-Z’s partnership with the NFL.

Jay-Z’s decision to partner with the league via his Roc Nation entertainment company has drawn harsh criticism. Reid initially showed his disapproval by posting retweets of other people’s critiques. Many believe Jay-Z’s willingness to work with the NFL is suspect since he’s been a vocal supporter of Colin Kaepernick.

Sports Illustrated reports Reid eventually explained his position after a follower accused him of being a hypocrite since he is an active player.

“Eric I rock with you but you are actually signed and playing with a team. Saying anything about any partnerships seems kinda weird. If you felt that strongly you didn’t have to start back playing,” the person tweeted.

“You & some others seem to misunderstand that we had no beef with the NFL until they started perpetuating the systemic oppression that we are fighting by blackballing Colin and then me,” Reid responded.

“Nah I won’t quit playing but I will be a royal pain in the NFL’s a** for acting like they care about people of color by forming numerous disingenuous partnerships to address social injustice while collectively blackballing Colin, the person who brought oppression and social injustice to the forefront of the NFL platform.”

Less than an hour later, Reid pointed out the suspicious timing of the Roc Nation deal.

“Interesting timing on the partnership with Jay-Z on the heels of Stephen Ross’ fundraiser for Donald Trump and the backlash his other companies are getting because of it. #PayAttentionFolks,” Reid, who Kaep once praised as a "social justice warrior," wrote.

He also retweeted journalist Jemele Hill's criticism of the deal and accused Jay-Z of prioritizing money over the movement. 

"Jay-Z doesn’t need the NFL’s help 2 address social injustices,"  Reid wrote. "It was a money move 4 him & his music business. The NFL gets 2 hide behind his black face 2 try to cover up blackballing Colin. #NeoColonialism."

On Thursday afternoon, Kaepernick gave Reid a shoutout for his support and expressed gratitude toward his other supporters.

“You never turned your back on me or the people, even when the NFL tried to silence your voice & the movement. You’ve never flinched or wavered. I love you, Brother! Let’s get it,” he wrote. “And to the people – I see you, I hear you and I love you! Thank you for having my back!!!”

Kaep's girlfriend, Nessa Diab, has also demonstrated her disdain for the partnership. 

Earlier on Thursday, the Hot 97 host shared an editorial from Hill about Jay's decision, writing, "I never thought I would see this headline in my lifetime. I can’t put in words the disappointment and disgust #IMWITHKAP FOREVER." 

Just a day prior to this announcement, Kaep commemorated the third anniversary of his first protest.

“Today marks the three-year anniversary of the first time I protested systemic oppression,” he wrote. “I continue to work and stand with the people in our fight for liberation, despite those who are trying to erase the movement! The movement has always lived with the people!”

Jay-Z and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell held the press conference to announce their collaboration on the same day. Hov believes his new partnership is an extension of those protests and evoked Kaepernick’s name to defend it, according to ESPN.

"We forget that Colin's whole thing was to bring attention to social injustice. In that case, this is a success. This is the next phase," the “APE***T” rapper said during the conference. "There [are] two parts of protesting. You go outside and you protest, and then the company or the individual says, 'I hear you. What do we do next?'"
