Coco Jones had everyone singing her praises after her rendition of the National Anthem before Monday night’s National Championship game.

The R&B singer held the spotlight for a moment before kickoff between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish and gave an incredible account of herself.

Jones’ performance was nothing short of amazing, amazing to the point where we had to rush to social media to see what everyone else thought.

Of course, they agreed that Coco’s version of the anthem was one of the best they’d ever heard.

“Coco Jones. That’s the post.🎤,” a user shared.

“Coco Jones 10/10 National Anthem,” another noted.

“That was one of the best National Anthems that I’ve heard in a while. Great job by Coco Jones!” said a third.

“That was one of the most beautiful renditions of the Star Spangled Banner I’ve ever heard. Put Jones on the Mount Rushmore of anthem singers,” another post read.

Who Is Coco Jones?

Jones is a popular R&B artist who has been nominated for multiple Grammys and has won one. In 2024, she won the award for her hit song “ICU,” beating the likes of Chris Brown, Robert Glasper, SZA, and Victoria Monét.

The 27-year-old is also the daughter of former NFL defensive end Mike Jones. Her father played in the league for nine seasons, representing the Arizona Cardinals, New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams, and Tennessee Titans.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts.

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.

African American Players Who Showed Up To NFL Draft With White Girlfriends

Commissioner Roger Goodell took the stage Thursday for the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, and many players showed up, ready to hear their names called.

Many women online noticed that some players in the NFL Draft who were Black did not have the same color girlfriend on their arm.

Some of those players included Caleb Williams, who hit the red carpet at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit with girlfriend Alina Thyregod by his side.

Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze showed up with girlfriend Alannah Davidson.

Penn State left tackle Olu Fashanu had his girlfriend blocked by his mom from interacting with him after he was selected.

VIDEO: LeSean McCoy Gets Ripped Online For Telling A Wild Story About NBA Hall Of Famer Dikembe Mutombo Cheating On His Wife

Former NFL running back LeSean McCoy is getting dragged online for telling on NBA legend and Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo as he suggested the 57-year-old was stepping out on his wife around eight years ago.

Mutombo, an eight-time All-Star who played for 18 seasons, met his wife Rose in 1995 and married her shortly after.

Speaking on his ‘25/10Show’ podcast, McCoy recalled a story about meeting a female he described as a “baddie” in Atlanta who told him she was seeing the four-time Defensive Player of the Year, who would take her on trips to France.

He said: “She told me he not that type of dude, you know he take good care of me…He don’t take me shopping, he takes me to France. I was like who is the dude? Guess what she said his name was? Dikembe Mutombo. I was like you’re taking him over me? But I get it, yeah he’s taking you shopping from PJ to France, I said babe, keep him.”

Fans Rip LeSean McCoy For Mentioning Mutombo’s Name

Fans did not appreciate Shady namedropping Mutombo, especially given that the former NBA center has been happily married for nearly 30 years.

“1. This doesn’t violate bro code cuss that’s not his bro. 2. He violated man code cuss name dropping when the situation could hurt my home is nasty. 3. It’s nasty cuss he ain’t have to say a name at all,” one wrote.

“D. Jack told him early like bro you a house wrecker. He thought he was gon get cool points for finishing the story lmao,” another pointed out.

“you must not know his actual nickname is Shady McCoy…he will name-drop in a minute,” a third suggested.

Married or not, that’s some poor form from Shady.
