Radio veteran Charlamagne Tha God is more than impressed with Amy Schumer right now. The hip-hop personality has applauded the comedian for dropping tough criticism toward the NFL over its national anthem drama.
Charlamagne went to Instagram this weekend to salute Amy for going public with her words.
Heading into the weekend, Amy raised eyebrows after sharing some seriously woke words against the NFL.
This week, reports emerged about R&B superstar Rihanna backing out of performing at Super Bowl LIII in support of ex-NFL player and Black Lives Matter activist Colin Kaepernick.
“The NFL and CBS really wanted Rihanna to be next year’s performer in Atlanta,” the insider reveals. “They offered it to her, but she said no because of the kneeling controversy. She doesn’t agree with the NFL’s stance.” Kaepernick, who once admitted to having a crush on Rihanna, was the first NFL player to kneel during the national anthem in protest of police brutality and racial inequality.

Last month, reports emerged about rap star Cardi B possibly wanting her own set at next year’s Super Bowl halftime show.
Our sources say Cardi is in negotiations to perform her song with Maroon 5, “Girls Like You” — and the main issue being discussed is whether or not CB gets a solo set. We’re told she’s getting a lot of offers to perform in early February … so she’s trying to make the best deal possible. Super Bowl LIII is being held in Atlanta, and some fans were hoping the NFL would give props to the ATL’s hot music scene. (TMZ)

A few days prior, buzz developed about the NFL possibly targeting Cardi and Houston rap star Travis Scott to pull through as halftime guest performers.
Maroon 5 will be headlining the Super Bowl LIII Halftime show, a source confirms to Billboard. While special guest appearances for the performance have not yet been finalized, Cardi B and Travis Scott are on the short list, Billboard has also learned. A rep for the band declined to comment. In a statement, the NFL said, “It’s a Super Bowl tradition to speculate about the performers for the Pepsi Halftime Show. We are continuing to work with Pepsi on our plans but do not have any announcements to make on what will be another epic show.” (Billboard)

Amy Schumer was detained on Thursday while protesting against Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, reports said.
The Trainwreck actress joined demonstrators at the #CancelKavanagh event at Capitol Hill, which occurred a day before the Senate will begin voting on Republican President Donald Trump’s pick. The protest comes hours after the FBI sent the Senate Judiciary Committee a report following its week-long investigation concerning allegations of sexual assault against the judge, which he has denied.
A recording of Thursday’s protest shows Schumer and a few other ladies, including fellow star Emily Ratajkowski, were standing outside against a wall while police surrounded them. CNN reports that Schumer was seen “being arrested.” MSNBC also aired similar footage, saying in a tweet that Schumer “was detained with other anti-Kavanaugh protesters at the Hart Senate Office Bldg. atrium on Capitol Hill.”

Ratajkowski wrote on Instagram that she herself was “arrested protesting the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, a man who has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault,” adding “Men who hurt women can no longer be placed in positions of power. Kavanaugh’s confirmation as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is a message to women in this country that they do not matter. I demand a government that acknowledges, respects and supports women as much as it does men.”
Capitol Police did not comment and there is no record of Amy Schumer’s arrest.
