Rihanna Opens up About Refusal
to Perform at 2018 Super Bowl.
In a recent interview with ‘Vogue,’
Rihanna confirmed the reason she turned
down the 2018 Super Bowl Halftime Show. .
It was initially reported by 'US Weekly' that the
31-year-old singer turned down the offer due to
the Colin Kaepernick kneeling controversy of 2016. .
In her 'Vogue' interview, Rihanna said that was
“absolutely” her reason for refusing the NFL’s offer. .
I couldn’t dare do that. For what?
Who gains from that? Not my
people. I just couldn’t be a sellout, Rihanna, via 'Vogue'.
RiRi said she did not want
to be of any “service to them,” as she did not
agree with their treatment of Kaepernick.
I couldn’t be an enabler. There’s
things within that organization
that I do not agree with at all,
and I was not about to go and be
of service to them in any way, Rihanna, via 'Vogue'
