Jay-Z took a moment to address the controversial remarks made by Houston Texans owner Bob McNair during the first stop of his "4:44 Tour" in Anaheim on Friday night.

McNair compared the NFL players protests to "inmates running the prison" at a recent league meeting.

"(They're) injuring themselves on the field, giving it all they got," Jay-Z, who has been a vocal supporter of Colin Kaepernick, told the crowd. "That's how they look at you. That's exactly what they think about you. We got so much further to go.

"The truth is ... whatever you believe in - God, Allah - whatever you believe in, we come from one source, which means we are all brothers and sisters at the end of the day."
