Erykah Badu Takes a Knee for Colin Kaepernick at the Soul Train Awards

At the Soul Train Awards last night, host Erykah Badu, the baddest baddie there ever was, told the audience during her opening segment, "I know I usually do a big elaborate musical number, but right here I feel I need to do this."

Badu's move was met with raucous applause from both the crowd and the internet:

Kaepernick's organization also tweeted at Badu:
