"Each person that performed Jazmine Sullivan, Her, and the Weekend all slaying their performances and making Black Excellence shine and us all proud," Tina wrote, before referencing the amount of backlash the rapper faced for teaming up with the NFL. 

"Today Jay I salute you and your Latest venture in selling 50% of your Champagne Co to LVMH," she continued.

You are a true man who has admitted publicly when you’ve made mistakes in a very brave and classy way ! I love you so much!!"
