Rihanna Declined Super Bowl LIII Halftime Show Offer in Support of Colin Kaepernick

Rihanna declined an offer to headline the Super Bowl LIII Halftime Show because she supports Colin Kaepernick, a source tells Us Weekly exclusively.

“The NFL and CBS really wanted Rihanna to be next year’s performer in Atlanta,” the insider reveals. “They offered it to her, but she said no because of the kneeling controversy. She doesn’t agree with the NFL’s stance.”

Kaepernick, was the first NFL player to kneel during the national anthem in a peaceful protest of police brutality and racial inequality. The former San Fransisco 49ers quarterback, has not played in the NFL since stirring controversy during the 2016 season. He filed a grievance against the league and its owners in November 2017, accusing them of colluding to keep him off the field.

After Rihanna rejected the Super Bowl halftime offer, the NFL extended their offer to Maroon 5.
