Rihanna Turns Down Super Bowl Half-Time Show in Support of Colin Kapernick


Pop star Rihanna turns down a offer to perform at the Super Bowl in support of quarterback Colin Kapernick who has been kept out of the league for kneeling during the national anthem to bring awareness to the unchecked police brutality of unarmed Black citizens in America...

Insiders tell ET
“Rihanna was the front-runner for next year’s super bowl halftime show. CBS and the NFL reached out to Rihanna first, who after thinking about the offer, decided to pass due to the NFL and the situation regarding players kneeling."
"The offer and exposure would have been great for Rihanna as she’s planning a new album and tour but she stuck to what’s right in her eyes."
Pink turned down the offer for the same reason.
