Rice previously received backlash on Twitter when he tweeted in August regarding the Colin Kaepernick situation. Rice tweeted, "All lives matter. So much going on in this world today. Can we all just get along! Colin, I respect your stance but don't disrespect the Flag."
Rice is taking heat once again for his Popeyes ad.
