P Diddy recently showed his support for long-time pal Jay Z, and clapped back at those criticizing him for his NFL partnership.

Jay Z previously announced his partnership with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell earlier this month. Roc Nation will provide music, entertainment and social justice efforts for the league, according to TMZ.

This deal caused some backlash, as many believe Jay turned his back on former 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick. The rapper has publicly supported Kaepernick in the past, however Jay Z has stated that he is trying to turn Kaepernick’s kneeling protest into a “tangible change” for people affected by police brutality.

Diddy took to social media to come out and shown his support for both Jay Z and Kaepernick.

“Hov is one of the greatest to ever do it, he has been there more than anybody from the hip hop culture, including me,” he said. “He always has been so selfless and fights for other people. We as a people can not be divided and conquered at this time!!”

When it comes to Kaepernick, he stated that he will “continue to support him in every way possible.”

He continued to explain why he cares so much about Jay Z’s success.

“I was just watching everything last week but it hurt me to my heart because I know this man personally,” he said. “He’s one of the most genuine and intelligent black leaders we’ve ever had. We cannot go against each other, there’s not enough of us. I applaud Jay Z and I applaud the NFL for bringing him in.”

“I believe in taking action, taking steps towards the right direction and I support all my brothers that are out here taking action,” he said. “Together we are unstoppable. #BLACKEXCELLENCE!!”
