The new Madden video game became a hot topic Thursday morning after one Twitter user pointed out that Colin Kaepernick’s name was reportedly pulled from one of the songs on the game’s soundtrack.
Twitter user @jeanclervil pointed out that Kaepernick’s name was pulled from YG’s song “Big Bank,” which features Big Sean, Nicki Minaj, and 2 Chainz. On the record, Big Sean raps, “Feed me to the wolves, now I lead the pack and sh*t. You boys all cap, I’m more Colin Kaepernick.”
In the clip shared on Twitter, it sounds like Kaepernick’s name was pulled from the song. The tweet even caught the attention of Kaepernick’s girlfriend Nessa Diab who said, “Oh!!!! @EAMaddenNFL who told you to edit Colin’s name out??? @nfl? @NFLPA Curious minds want to know. Thanks Jean for the info!!! If you guys see more shady stuff send it over.”
