424. Jay-Z's Target deal: the latest letdown from rappers who can't (or won't) meet this moment
from The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo · host Dr. Omekongo Dibinga
I didn't agree with people who said that Jay-Z was a sellout for partnering with the #nfl for reasons I explain in the video. The deal with #target feels different because @target has a direct impact in our communities and #jayz could have flexed a little more to make Target bring back its DEI efforts. But, like, I said, he is not the only rapper to let us down in this moment. #boycotttarget #targetfast #fasttarget #jamalbryant #upstander #boycott #buycott #kendricklamar #snoop #snoopdogg @NFL STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com Learn more about your ad choices.
