Rihanna Reportedly Turned Down Peforming The Super Bowl Halftime Show In Support Of Colin Kaepernick

Super star singer Rihanna reportedly turned down an offer to headline next year’s Super Bowl’s halftime show because she “supports Colin Kaepernick,”

 

In reports making the rounds, it’s alledged that The NFL and CBS really wanted Rihanna to be next year’s performer in Atlanta. They offered it to her, but she said no because of the kneeling controversy.

})(jQuery);

After Rihanna rejected the offer, the committee reportedly extended the offer to Maroon 5, and the group accepted.
