When asked if his decision to sit down was intended to convey a message during a Columbia University Q&A session, Jay Z clarified that he was simply watching the performance and not making any political statements. Following an agreement between the National Football League (NFL) and his organization, Roc Nation, he became involved in production.
Jay-Z went on to say that it was "important to him that every aspect of the song was perfect" and that he wanted to ensure that fans at home could truly experience the music.
