Colin Kaepernick is firing back at Jay-Z and NFL.

Jay-Z said last week, "we've moved past kneeling" to "actionable items," during a press conference with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Jay-Z’s entertainment company, Roc Nation, will be the NFL's “live music entertainment strategist.”

Roc Nation will work with the league on entertainment and social justice projects.

Kaepernick responded to Jay-Z's comments in a Twitter post on Sunday.

My Brothers @E_Reid35 @KSTiLLS @iThinkIsee12 continue to fight for the people, even in the face of death threats. They have never moved past the people and continue to put their beliefs into action. Stay strong Brothers!!! ✊�� pic.twitter.com/OQClsZXD5V

The post included pictures of Eric Reid, Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson, who have all continued to kneel during the national anthem.

Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since 2016, when he gained notoriety for kneeling in protest of racial injustice and police brutality.
