During his performance of "Bam" on Saturday Night Live featuring Damian Marley, JAY-Z wore a Colin Kaepernick jersey. It wasn't Kaepernick's NFL jersey, rather, a black jersey with "Colin K" emblazoned on the back and the number "7" on the back and the front. There were previously rumors that JAY-Z denied offers to perform at the Super Bowl.
