New York (WBAP/KLIF) – Mariah Carey has angered a legion of fans after posting an Instagram photo with embattled former NFL QB Colin Kaepernick, with the caption, “Such and honor to meet Kaepernick.”
Kaepernick created a firestorm of controversy in 2016 for his “take the knee” stance on the football field during the National Anthem to protest police brutality and criminal injustice.
The furor heightened after Nike featured Kaepernick as the face of its latest ‘Just Do It Campaign.’
During a chance meeting at a New York radio station recently, star singer Mariah Carey became seemingly angered a number of MAGA supporters, calling the photo “disappointing” among other things. Others said that they would be deleting Mariah. Still some other Carey fans posted messages in support of the photo.
