Rihanna reveals why she ditched the 2018 Super Bowl Halftime Show: ‘I couldn’t be a sellout’.
Axar.az reports citing foerign media that the renowned singer could have performed on the most viewed TV event in the US, but decided to turn down the offer and here’s why.
Robin Rihanna Fenty, the Barbados-born singer whom we all know simply as Rihanna, revealed why she turned down the offer to perform at the NFL Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2018.
Speaking in an interview with Vogue, Rihanna disclosed that she refused to perform at the most-watched US TV event as a sign of support of Colin Kaepernick, the first US football player to protest racism by refusing to stand during the US anthem. The NFL player opted to kneel in protest against police brutality and racial inequality, sparking massive criticism and even a brush-off from US President Donald Trump.
“I couldn’t dare do that,” Rihanna said about her participation in the halftime show. “For what? Who gains from that? Not my people. I just couldn’t be a sellout. I couldn’t be an enabler. There are 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.”
