Last week, it was announced that JAY-Z, Roc Nation and the NFL entered in a partnership together. Roc Nation will reportedly help the league in the social-justice arena. The company will also produce Super Bowl events. By the end of the week, it was reported that JAY-Z would most likely become part-owner of a team.

TMZ caught up with Cardi B over the weekend and asked about Jay and the NFL. she said:
I feel like he didn't [make] an NFL deal without an agreement. I feel like he went in there like, "Alright, if you guys want me to work with y'all, y'all need to bring my people in here. Y'all need to do things my way." I feel like he's gonna change it.
