San Francisco 49ers safety and aspiring musical artist Antone Exum discussed his upcoming song “Officer Kaepernick.” Exum’s third musical release of the 2019 offseason — inspired by former Niners quarterback Colin Kaepernick — addresses social injustice and police brutality.

San Francisco 49ers backup safety Antone Exum is keeping himself busy during the 2019 NFL offseason. Along with training for a hopeful roster spot in the Niners’ defensive backfield, he is also working on his aspiring music career as a writer, producer and performer.

The first two songs Exum released this offseason arrived with little fanfare, but his third release is more likely to garner headlines. TMZ Sports recently caught up with Exum to discuss his latest single, titled “Officer Kaepernick,” which Exum described as the “soundtrack” for the followers of former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick‘s social justice movement.

When asked about the song, which he plans to release within the next week, Exum responded, “I’m addressing excessive police brutality and some of the injustices in the police force.”

“I do appreciate the good cops that we have because we do have good cops — good officers and police — but we also have some who are involved in some very unfortunate situations.” Exum continued, “Some of those instances stem from a place of fear and a little bit of hate sometimes too.”

Exum concluded his comments by stating, “I think we should move forward with love.”

On May 17, 2019, Exum released his first single, titled “Verdant Valentine.” You can check out the official music video here on YouTube. Last week, Exum posted the official music video for his second single, “Pitch Black,” which is also available on YouTube.

Exum was originally drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth round of the 2014 NFL Draft, but saw little playing time before arriving in San Francisco in 2017.

Due to injuries in the 49ers’ secondary, Exum started seven games for the team in 2018. Exum played at a serviceable level last season and was involved in one of the team’s top defensive plays of the year — an interception return for a touchdown on the Los Angeles Chargers’ opening drive in Week 4.

Given the San Francisco 49ers’ recent injury history at the safety position, Exum is likely to make the team’s final roster as an insurance piece, provided the veteran defensive back impresses during training camp and the preseason.
