According to the publication, "A source close to the negotiations has now confirmed to Billboard that Scott required the NFL to make a joint donation to an organization fighting for social justice in order for him to move forward with the event."

The rapper and the NFL donated $500,000 to Van Jones' "social justice accelerator." Scott wil reportedly work with the NFL on additional initiatives, too.
