JAY-Z took the stage at the 2017 Meadows Music and Arts Festival in Queens, New York to deliver a hot performance that featured of some of his old and new hits.
One great moment of JAY's show was when he performed his 4:44 track, "The Story Of O.J." The MC turned mogul decided to dedicate the track to football player/ activist Colin Kaepernick, as well as the late comedian/activist Dick Gregory.
Before JAY started "The Story Of O.J.," he told the crowd, “I want to dedicate this song to Colin Kaepernick tonight.” The audience immediately began applauding after he said these words. Hov added: “I want to dedicate this to Dick Gregory. I want to dedicate this song to anyone that was held back and you overcame.”
