NFL: "Hey Rihanna, we'd love for you to perform at the Super Bowl"... Rihanna: *click*
Rihanna reportedly turned down an offer to headline next year’s Super Bowl LIII halftime show in support of Colin Kaepernick. She declined because she disagrees with the NFL's handling of the kneeling row. After Rihanna declined, the NFL offered the show to Maroon 5. I love that Rihanna stood up for Kaepernick. It's just a shame Justin Timberlake didn't do that for Janet Jackson. Free publicity for an album (that flopped anyway) was more important apparently.
