As of late, Jay Z has been using his platform to expose injustices. He and his team, 'Team Roc,' sued the Kansas City police department for misconduct and corruption. The lawsuit reportedly came after Detective Roger Golubski framed a black man for murder after the man's mother refused to continue having non-consensual sex with him.
After the lawsuit, The Washington Post published a call to action letter from Team Roc, which asked the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the allegations. Following the investigation, Officer Golubski was charged with sexual assault, kidnapping, and framing an innocent person with a crime.
