Jidenna has joined the ranks of countless celebrities, artists and athletes utilizing their social media platforms to let Donald Trump know that his recent commentary bashing the NFL and NBA will not be tolerated.

Taking to Instagram, the “Classic Man” creator shared his own two cents on the matter, first having a laugh and reflecting that Trump really did take it there this past Friday (Sept. 22).
After the president publicly called for the “sons of bitches” in the NFL who don’t stand for the national anthem to be fired during a rally in Huntsville, Ala., and later continuing to spread his unpopular opinion on Twitter, the nation reacted accordingly, with dozens kneeling during the national anthem on football Sunday (Sept. 24), a move that Jidenna supports.

“You know you done fucked up right,” the 32-year-old begins, cracking up. “You don’t pick the blackest ass fucking sports. You don’t pick NFL and NBA. You should’ve picked hockey or golf. You can’t a start a war with people. The athletes of today are wiser than ever, they’re stronger than ever, they make more money than ever and you gonna go after us?”
After a brief pause, Jidenna dives back into his passionate commentary, adding that he is proud of those who are taking a stand against racism and oppression by way of taking a knee.

“I’m so proud of the soldiers, the comrades,” he continues. “I’m proud of what Colin Kaepernick has done in being a trailblazer. I’m proud of what I’m hearing athletes, players, coaches doing right now. It’s remarkable. This motherfucker is gonna make America great again inadvertently. He ain’t even doing it on purpose. That’s the byproduct, motherfucker. It’s physics. Every action causes an equal and opposite reaction, motherfucker.”

Russell Simmons, J. Cole, Diddy and countless others in the hip-hop community have taken to social media to react to Trump’s divisive comments about the NBA and NFL respectively. Take a look at Jidenna weighing in on the matter below.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.

Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French. Viewers immediately spotted the mistake and took to social media to flag up the glaring error.  Sky Sports with a huge mistake as that is Axel Disasi, not Noni Madueke,' another added, while a third described the gaffe as a 'howler'.
