Rihanna showed her support for SJW activist Colin Kaepernick by turning down an offer to perform during halftime at the upcoming Super Bowl game in Atlanta in 2019.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Rihanna was the frontrunner for next year’s Super Bowl halftime show. CBS and the NFL reached out to the Bajan singer first, before they contacted rapper Cardi B.
A source tells ET that “after thinking about the offer, Rihanna decided to pass due to the NFL and the situation regarding players kneeling.”
The source continued, “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.”
Pop singer Pink also declined to perform due to the unemployed quarterback’s ongoing legal issues with the league.
Cardi B is currently in negotiations to perform at halftime alongside pop/rock band Maroon 5.
Interesting.
Rhianna is my girl. Has been for years. I applaud her for doing this. Meanwhile, ya’ll girl Cardi is BEGGING to perform.
Rihanna doesn’t ever have to sing one note and she will be alright. She is an international fashion Icon.
Queen Rih… all money or exposure aint good (clapping) You go gyal
Cardi want a check by any means necessary chile smh
Good for her. You’ve got the league basically blackballing a black man for silently expressing his views, but at the same time they want to hire black entertainers for their SuperBowl. I’m glad somebody had the courage to say no to the NFL and their money.
She’s willing to sell her soul for a check SMH
Rihanna is a real black queen, okay? She has standards and morals and really, never has to step foot on a stage again if she doesn’t want to. She’s set for life #queening
but she has to.. Cardi time soon be up, she better get it while she can.
What a great feeling to know that money isn’t everything to some, great job to both professionals for having standards and morals.
her life, her decision. gorgeous lady, talented businesswoman.
Right! She dont give a fawk about the cause smh
FACTS!!!!
If you stand for nothing you’ll fall for anything
Yes, my Boo’s Ri Ri, Colin, and Pink too ???
Good for RiRi, I applaud her and mad respek to her!!
I know the bat signal was shone so the trolls are going to be swooping in soon. I have yet to talk to a single white person who understands what this is all about. It has been twisted around and has become an affront to the flag and veterans!! WHAT THE FAWK!!!?? Same as BLM which should have been Black Lives Matter TOO. You have to stand for something!!!
This is why i love Rhianna!! Shes just so dope classy and gangsta!!! A real one! Natural and all!!! Yea they can have that hoodrat vile mouth cardi booboo ..she is nothing but an industry puppet? …and When The industry and ppl get bored of her antics her fall will be as quick and hard as her rise!! Sicc of the industry using illiteracy s3xual propaganda and ignorance to sell music that is pure garbage!! I use to like the bird but now its Like bish stfu!! Go raise yo child.. go stalk noset…and his groupies..
Because they’ve always used US for entertainment and money making purposes….and made it known with that blackballing that their modern day “servants” better not step outta line or else
#TeamWeKneel
I still don’t watch the NFL fugg em
Somebody talk to Cardi! Do not do it Boo!
https://youtu.be/qlj3H1S9ASI
Right…where’d this girl go??
She’s a bird. She gonna do if given the opportunity. She is NOT turning that money or exposure down for the cause.
I always liked her I stand alone disposition. She has that I don’t need no one attitude that’s not fake.
Robyn’s island still is very much is influenced by coloziners. Not like they turned over control hundreds of years ago. It was just in the late 60’s/early 70s. They still celebrate damn British ass Boxing Day. She kinda doesnt have a real dog in the fight. Glad she didnt do it though. But if she would have I wouldnt have been mad.
Alecia Beth AKA Pink is a prime ass example of folks who speak up about Trump…. but dont shit happen to them bc of cave demon priv. Glad she didnt do it either tho. Bc she has been mad vocal against him.
NEXT!

She must’ve just been trying to shoot her shot…cause she no longer standin with Colin
Beto O’Rourke is one white politician who understands it well. Somebody asked him if he thought the NFL protesters were disrespecting the flag, and his answer was totally on point.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbiaVIa85KA
Im done with her over the topic. LAST YEAR she said she would NEVER do it. Unless Kap had a job. Fukk her
https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8098042/cardi-b-halftime-perform-super-bowl-colin-kaepernick
It was actually earlier THIS year. 2018.
Yasss. Great move.
No. Stop. They are in talks. She has not agreed. Hold on!
Pop singer Pink also declined to perform due to the unemployed quarterback’s ongoing legal issues with the league.
__________________________________________________________
NO…Pink didn’t turn the NFL down for this reason, she turned them down because the Negotiations (MONEY) took too long, not because of Colin Kaep.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I use to like her as well… I am all for people being who they are and are not afraid to show it like the K Micheles, Rihanna, Amber, Cardis of the world because they remind me of me I have always been in my own lane and not afraid to be me etc but at the same time I had to really sit and think about being a fan of certain people vs being down for my people and I had to let Cardi and Amber go do to recent things they have said in the media… some things I can not and will not ignore because being a fan will never put no money in my pocket so fuk em
Yessss stand for something or fall for any and everything literally
Yes ma’am!!
“:However, a second source involved in the conversations says that the NFL approached both Rihanna and Pink — who was tasked with singing the National Anthem ahead of Super Bowl LII back in February — to perform at halftime early on, but because the negotiations took so long, both women decided to move on.
The source adds that Kaepernick was not mentioned in those early discussions.”
Says both.

Fact she is in talks is enough for me
This desperate broad just looking for a Fuckin boyfriend or a rich mtf to scam
Yeah because she gotta keep that money flowing in to keep her man happy and pay for the 3 lambo’s and Bentley truck her dumb ass bought that she can’t legally drive. smdh
Thank you for sharing this!! This man is deep and evolved, WOW!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And help with child support with all her step kids chileeeee just too much going on smh
Once Amber opened her mouth that did it for me! I liked her so much better when she sat around and took pics all day. I cringe when I here that woman speak.
Agreed… I am a Libra and I use to love my 2 Libra ladies… Amber and Cardi as well as Keyshia Cole I still like Keyshia she aint did nothing too crazy lately so im still a fan lol
Who?
Exactly!!
!!!!!!!!! Can she hurry up and go away….I got a son out here and she is driving the stock prices of these little girls down the tube….
Cardi is saying well l played coretta scott king in a movie so l can do this as well
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
She is going for those coins sis… Don’t believe it just watch…
Ok…she’s negotiating price
? @ driving the stock prices down
Great exposure for Rihanna ? She doesn’t need the NFL for that. Cardi was just taking pictures with Colin and thanking him for what he’s doing lol she’s going to cross over and be a Latin artist mark my words she just lays up with black men and calls black women roaches even though we made her famous.
I don’t think they get paid to perform
Yes! @rihanna ??
Right, but it cover the cost of the performance…that’s what I’m talking about.
Told yall she would turn it down
Congratulations to Rihanna and Pink for their principles and courage to decline the NFL offer!
Congratulations to Cardi B and Maroon 5 who I know will speak up in support of Colin when they perform.
NFL will not get around social accountability for their Jim Crow policies and employment discrimination against Colin Kaepernick.
They can’t say it, but it’s definitely part of the reason why. His impact is such that his plight will influence any artist either declining or accepting the offer as a statement or platform to support him.
Cardi has some “speak up” under her sleeve.
I don’t think she should do it for her safety.
FAKE SPIN:
No one’s checking for RIRI’s low energy performance at a SUPER BOWL. Only BEYONCE and the real “PERFORMING” types need apply. The KAP issue is dead. NFL ratings are back up, there are less than 5 players who still kneel. Nothing to see here folks.
See that’s the thing about Riri. She’s self made and is making just as with her makeup as she did with her music. She doesn’t need handouts at this point.
Congrats to Cardi and Maroon 5 on the superbowl performance. No shade but with both of these entertainers being non black I think it fits perfectly. I would feel some way with a black entertainer performing at the halftime show with all this racial ish going on. It’s too soon.
Rhi seems to march to her own music. Doing her own thing.
At any rate, HUGE ups to her for this.
Ni let me see what Cardis gon do. I know she aint black, but her husband is.
They know.
she gon do it and twerk on stage! and stick out her tongue! (rolling my eyes)
The NFL has dropped its conduct policy on kneeling players. Players are free to do as they please without repercussion. Kap won this round.
Rih is gorgus…dass all I got
She was never asked #FACT
The Writer Wrote this: The NFL and its players union have announced a “freeze” on a new league policy on football players who protest during the national anthem. The two agreed to the delay as they try to resolve the contentious issue.
Didn’t Jayz Refuse to Perform as well?
When are wealthy, old white men like Dump and his corny, senile pencils want write any longer as going to wake up and realize that black men kneeling peacefully isn’t
un-American but that presidents (Dump) standing next to and lusting after authoritarian leaders is?
beyondfake would never do this
Never. She needs all the promo she can get to sell those albums and tour tickets so she can pay her Sony debt.
Yet another reason why I lubs me some RiRi.
At least someone has morals and integrity in the industry! Bravo Rihanna!
Cardi can do it…at this point she is a pro and coonin and shucking…I can see Atlantic’s business plan with her. They will expose her to the masses until they use her up…this girl has attacked people at events left and right and the crowd still goes wild about her…
careful the beehive gonna get u
Hahahahah.
It sure was, and right on point. Many knows exactly what’s
going on but refuse to acknowledge it.
Stupid! That’s great publicity. No one cares about Colin. He made his choice.
I used to defend Rihanna to the Hilt, about Performing But since she has Joined the so called big girls, and been able to cross over the 140-Million Gross on Tour, That is right up there with the Likes of Usher, Jayz, Beyonce , Mariah, Mary J , the Big Entertainers. And Eminem is one of the Biggest Sellers of Music with Diamond Albums, and Rih was able to do a Joint with him called
“Live Your Life” which has over a Billion Views, and Double Diamonds, Plus Many more Platinum in Sales Therefore Defending Negativity isn’t at all necessary, because you see the proof is in the Pudding.
1,621,288,491 Views, and this Single is one of Eminem Biggest selling Singles,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelHwf8o7_U
Rihanna doesn’t need the publicity. And only racist and coons like yourself don’t care about Colin.
The Players Union got this, and there is something there for them to see, you hide and watch. Oh and Rihanna sold the 02 Arena out ten (10) times on one of her Tours, and if she wasn’t able to Perform then they must have had a Pity party for her, and paid her anyway, and its all in her Goody bag.
And if you can do that well you don’t have to ever get sweaty , and dripping sweat all over the floor, and shaking like a bytch in heat like Bey does. Because there’s people who will pay money to see Rihanna strut, her long legged as across a stage just to “Breath”
on a Mic, go and tell your friends.
Off Topic,,,Think on these things,,,,Rihanna net worth is 230-Million
Not bad for a chic who came from the “Bottom Up” and isn’t able to drop it like a shake dancer on stage, (Beyonce)
And just so you’d know it’s Impressive that Rih helped Mac raise 50 Million toward Hiv/Aids Charity, and She worked with The UK to help them to help raise money for schools all around the World where they raised a Billion Dollars to help , that is amazing to me. Not to mention that she have Raised Million for her GranGran Cancer Charity.
Just like no one cares about you.
Colin is making the statement that no matter how good you are, what you make of yourself in this country, you can and will be treated like a common street thug!
Like the Black professional tennis player tackled to the ground, on his way to the French Open to see Serena play, or Jamie Foxx tells a story of driving in an affluent hood and being stopped, and how things could have easily went south and deadly!
Colin, John Legend, Tyler Perry, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Jamie Foxx, my cousins, my black doctor, your brother, son or nephew and can die at the hands of a trigger happy executioner [police officer], in the middle of a moment!
Kudos to Rihanna and Pink!
I am proud of Rhi Rhi for taking a stand!
RIGHT!!! Is this “dontgetblocked” person white, but using a black person’s profile picture?!
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!!!
Cardi probably like forget what folks saying… I got a child to take care of!
Let ’em know how it’s done!!!
Yeah sometime you do have to cut the Rih hate
with truth, facts, and Numbers, Wink, Wink.
Off Topic, Bill O Let the Man Talk….

That baby would be fine regardless… If anything the check would be blown on some materialistic gift for upset
yea…yes she is ?
I most likely believe that he or she is white. If not, it’s a mentally disturbed coon.
???
I second that?!…Some people just want attention ?
Clearly she does because she declined.
Her loss.
You sound like a six year old. LOL!
And that’s why YOU’RE responding to MY post.
So black people are monolithic. We ALL support Colin. NOT! You’ll find the average…educated, well-employed black person understands there are rules at work. He broke the rules and got fired!
Because every single black person supports Colin. We all think alike?? If not we’re mentally disturbed coons? Do you see how stupid you sound??? Or are you too stupid too realize it???
Here’s a note to all of you sheep. Not every black person supports Kaepernick. In fact, most educated, experienced, and employed people don’t. The NFL has rules. He broke them and got fired! The same would happen to most people at their jobs. A workplace is NOT the environment to express your political views…EVER! I’m black and I don’t support his method of protest. If I did the same, I’d expect to be fired from my job. COMMON SENSE PEOPLE!!!
Stfu. I’ve seen your pathetic a** coon rhetoric all over this blog. Your opinion holds as much weight as Trumps opinion on BLM. Now go take your medication clown.
Y’all sure that’s the reason or that’s the publicized reason and she just don’t want to perform fat?
It’s not a platform or statement if they scared to say it. Rihanna ain’t fooling me. She don’t want that lifelong fat footage of her wobbling around that super bowl stage.
These hypocrites online know damn well they follow the rules at work. If the anthem was part of their jobs they’d be standing. Online they act tough and call standers names
I have a new found respect for her. I never really listened to her other than what I hear on the radio, now I’m truly a fan. Good for her I never expected Cardi to do the right thing
Applause! I go to work to make money not protest!
Honestly, there are better than Rihanna to perform at the super bowl. Eff hair boy.
I respect it ??
At what job are you forced to stand for the anthem?
All money ain’t good money and my Rhi ain’t pressed fo’ THEY MONEY! I LOVE THIS CHIC!
Oh shudup!
You mad… Why? Stop tryna make an INVALID point! (Rolls eyes and turn up the corner of my lips at your KEVIN HART AZZ)
AWWEEESHUDUP!!!
Good move!
Someone’s mad. You’re calling me Kevin Hart while you make all them buckeyed faces just like him? It’s not an invalid point wacko, it’s something I wondered. Just think, it’s one thing to talk at some events fat, but Super Bowl half time????? Them pictures will be EVERYWHERE.
FOREVER.
Love football, NFL should probably figure out what the audience wants in a halftime show. These scheming r&b singers aren’t viable halftime entertainment for football fans. Maybe I should try to partner w/the NFL to help them figure it out? Pink?? Plz! It’s laughable all the way around … like destiny’s child at the NBA halftime

So, what I have to comment now is that for all the kneeling, when Trump asked for names of unfairly treated citizens to pardon, how many of the kneeling players accepted names & contributed a list of people to Trump for pardon? I say get off your knees &,sit, if you can’t stand and make a difference.

¬hing more. Thanks for sharing it publicly
¬hing more. Thanks for sharing it publicly
Her entire career is a handout & intellectual property theft/RICO crime.
& self made like Vilie? Self made doesn’t include label backed RICO crimes &,intellectual property crimes
No. I wouldn’t. I have never stood for a pledge or anthem. When I went to school it was mandatory and I sat K-12. And standing for the anthem was a part of my job as well, I sat or removed myself.
I just left my job because they wanted to me change managers and that move was not conducive to my career goals. Working directly under the VP benefited me, working under some BS Asst. Director did not. They had me in front of the in house counsel trying to thinly veil 1) get me to agree 2) stay long enough to train my replacement. I declined, stood up for myself, asked who was gonna check me boo?! and had 3 offers within 3 weeks all with at least a 6% increase in salary and bounced (and I didn’t even take the one that offered the most money). Plenty of people have real integrity and are not desperate for a check they lose their values on the altar of direct deposit.
Well who do you think would be a good half-time preformer?
Good for you. You have foresight and had leverage because of your job skills. Integrity is rare. Then there’s being in a position to gamble. A lot of internet politicians don’t even have jobs so if they got one they wouldn’t rock a boat.
I bet Bacalis ain’t gone turn it down!!! She don’t give a damn about black folks cause she calls them roaches! And she ain’t black.
“Who” I think fits, would be considered intellectual property & isn’t public but is why I used the phrase “partner with “; meaning the league would have to compensate me for my IP to help them figure it out. Something some of their alleged invitees don’t understand about IP. However, I can leave it at they have it wrong thinking Pink/etc is it lol
I heard they went with Maroon 5
I think that’s a bad choice. U still haven’t told me who would choose
There actually isn’t anyone out now that’s better.
We came to Win to Fly!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n71KUiWn1I
Maroon 5 has me bored before the game even starts. It’s better than the other r&b singers but shows that the team putting together the show is bored too… worse, belcalis gon’ be there most likely performing the song they did together. lol, I can’t wait to miss it. She not even the type of stripper super bowl ticket holders tip. Lol.
That sure is a good Question, thanks for asking them!
Exactly.
Good That Jayz gave her , that first Real Break,,,she was only 16 in 2004 when she met with Jay Z, then president of Def Jam, at the company’s midtown headquarters, according to John Seabrook’s recent book, “The Song Machine.” After hearing her sing a ballad and what would become her first hit, “Pon de Replay,” Jay Z offered her a contract and then refused to let her leave until the details were settled and she was signed to the label.
“There are only two ways out,” Jay Z told Rihanna, according to Seabrook. “Out the door or through this window.” She said she was flattered and chose the door, signing the contract in the middle of the night.
And as we all know the rest is history.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
What’s with all the IP talk? I’m confused.
No argument from me… I agree with you!!!
I said what I said. Get well soon love.
?me2. Have a great night!
Why I see Amy Schumer say she’s boycotting the game for colin? & that the black players should sit down & let white players play (&get all the contracts) bc of the kneeling protest??? Lol, who’s ready for an increase in unemployed black men? I understand why so many people felt like colin should just sit down or opt out his contract… some athletes care about American injustice but they also want to play &,collect an income from playing
Good for you Rihanna. I am so proud of you??
