JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s decision to sit during Demi Lovato’s performance of “The Star Spangled Banner” at Super Bowl LIV caused waves in conservative media, but apparently it wasn’t meant as an act of protest. TMZ reports that Jay addressed the incident during an event at Columbia University on Tuesday. According to the gossip outlet, Jay said he was focused on the audio and other technical aspects because Roc Nation serves as the producer of all performance elements of the show.
