Performing in the Super Bowl is today a hard candy to refuse for any musician on the planet. The NFL party is one of the most watched sporting events on a planetary level and having a few minutes as a center of attention during the break can catapult you to the top. Despite this, Rihanna would have rejected the juicy offer.
At the end of last month, the organizers of the American football final announced Maroon 5 as the band that would perform in the LIII Super Bowl, which will take place on February 3rd at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The reason for the singer of Bridgetown not to sing in the final was not motivated by money; It was a matter of principle.
As revealed by the US magazine, Rihanna would have decided to reject the offer and support the case of Colin Kaepernick, the NFL player who was suspended by the league after having kneeled during the US anthem as a protest against the racism.
The singer of Barbados would've become the preferred name for the organizers of the Super Bowl to play in the final's halftime. Reasons were not lacking. Despite the fact that almost three years have passed since her last album (Anti, 2016), the singer from Bridgetown is one of the biggest pop figures. However, and after his rejection, the NFL decided that it would be the band of Adam Levine who was in charge of putting the music in between.
