Micah Parsons’ trade request reverberated through the NFL over the weekend after he requested it on Friday, Aug. 1. The Dallas Cowboys defensive end received support from current and former Dallas Cowboys, including Dez Bryant, whose post started an online war of words with noted rapper Nicki Minaj.

And that, in turn, led to a weekend of responses, including a wild thread involving Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, entertainment mogul Jay-Z, “Queen of Rap” Nicki Minaj, and former Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant. As strange as it sounds, those characters were all joined together by the contract standoff between Parsons and the Cowboys.

The sports world and entertainment world often intertwine and have done so again, in an unexpected and wild way, regarding the Micah Parsons contract situation with the Dallas Cowboys. To call the matter messy would be an understatement and now Jay-Z and Roc Nation are involved along with Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty.
