Jay-Z was the musical guest on the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live" and he took to the stage in a modified Colin Kaepernick jersey.

The rapper rocked a black Nike jersey and only turned around to reveal his support for Kaepernick midway through the performance.

Jay-Z dedicated a song to Kaepernick at a New York City concert in September. He's also reportedly turned down an offer to perform the Super Bowl LII halftime show, which some have interpreted as a sign of loyalty to Kaepernick. Since becoming a free agent, the quarterback has been ignored by NFL teams after taking a knee for the national anthem to protest racial injustice in America.
