Jay-Z And The NFL To Give Money To Group Who Cut Dreadlocks, Professed All Lives Matter

The controversy over JAY-Z and Roc Nation's deal with the NFL continues. The Crushers Club is one of two groups working with at-risk Chicago kids that will receive part of a $400,000 donation from Roc Nation and the NFL as part of the previously announced "Inspire Change" initiative. The organization came under intense scrutiny on social media for a photo posted on social media that shows Sally Hazelgrove, president of the Crushers Club cutting a young man's dreads off. The group is also know for encouraging the phrase "All Lives Matter".
