Erykah Badu opened up her night as host of the 2017 Soul Train Awards in a different fashion. Instead of the usual music number, the R&B songstress opted for kneeling in support of Colin Kaepernick and his ongoing activism efforts. When Badu graced the stage to raucous applause, she quickly got to her point and kneeled onstage at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. The arena stood in unison as Badu kneeled with most applauding and others raising a right fist in support.
