According to a series of reports, global music superstars Rihanna and P!nk were out at performing during Super Bowl LIII before they were in.
And it largely circulates around Colin Kaepernick.
“The NFL and CBS really wanted Rihanna to be next year’s performer in Atlanta,” an insider source relayed to US Weekly. “They offered it to her, but she said no because of the kneeling controversy. She doesn’t agree with the NFL’s stance.”
Another source told Entertainment Tonight, “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.”
But another source told ET both the Fenty Beauty ambassador and P!nk initially backed out because negotiations took longer than expected.
Rihanna’s refusal to grace the Pepsi stage — regardless of actual reasoning — was apparently a direct result of Maroon 5 (and potentially Cardi B) landing the gig.

Hopefully this is TRUE,if more POWERFUL/RICH celebs of COLOR stand against the oppressors,real change will eventually happen. Wrong is WRONG no matter who does it,in this case it was the contradictory sick minded “Amerikkka 1st” owners in the league who FORGET who fans PAY to see. If it weren’t for Kap,many Americans wouldn’t even know the anthem had racist lyrics in it!!! Plus the anthem/flag wasn’t for anyone non white,when the flag & anthem were created,BLACK FOLKS were still slaves and the anthem/flag was never changed to INCLUDE US. #CommonSenseAintCommon
Wow. You’re really as stupid as old Kaeporcryte. No refuge could save the hireling & slave/From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:/. This lyric that is supposedly racist, refers to the Americans bombing the brits and their slaves during a battle. If you knew your history, the Brit’s and the East India Trading Company are who imported 90% of the slaves to everywhere on earth. Not one American ship brought slaves to the U.S.. 85% of those slaves were sold to the British and Portuguese by tribal warlords and royal families FROM AFRICA. the Americans fought a war to create and rid the U.S. of the Brits. At the time, slavery was commonplace across the globe. Actually, the last countries to abolish slavery were in Africa and the Middle East. Politics have nothing to do with a song that’s over 100 years old. Kaep the slave was making millions of dollars and threw that away. He’s lucky there is the SJW/PC wave going on and Nike broke him off. He was making millions. He could have kept quiet, kept getting paid and started a foundation for PRISON REFORM instead of going along with that BLM bullshit that doesn’t make sense statistically on any level. BLM was created and funded by George Soros’ cronies, and is one of the main reasons Trump got elected. There are 650,000 Black me. In prison I. The U.S. as we speak. 75% of them are locked up due to “mandatory minimums” and forced plea deals. That’s more black people than killed by other blacks, more than the total of slaves imported or exported to anywhere from Africa. Statistically more blacks kill other blacks a year than are killed by other cops. I don’t see anyone kneeling for Black on Black crime (which is really just crime), or the prion slavery matrix. They’ve got you on the names my friend. Anticipate yourself from mental slavery. They’ve got 99% of the populous looking at 1% of the problem which is a drop in the bucket compared to what’s REALLY going on. Be safe. Respect. Peace.
I will skeptically look this up.
Wrote a whole paragraph of fictions and facts gumbo mixed with a pinch if truth…go drink bleach, that 3rd verse of the anthem had more than one line you reptile
Here is the third verse: And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Again, you are retried. So is Kaep. What other than the slave mention, which was commonplace at the time, is “racist” in that verse. I also love the way there is no response to any of the above facts, or an intelligent argument. The song refers to killing brits and their slaves in the third verse. That verse has actually been dropped for well over a half a century, Kaep at first said he took the knee for BLM, not the racism in the song. Once confronted with the fact that BLM was bullshit, Kaep switched up his little woke dialogue. Jackass. Learn history and how to read.
Nice arguments to the historical facts listed above. What is the diction listed above? Please tell me how many AMERICAN ships brought slaves over. I would also like to know exactly who sold the majority of said slaves and who captured them. That “whole paragraph” took under a minute to write. It’s called a college education. When confronted with facts, instead of bullshit that’s regurgitated from other illiterate idiots, all of a sudden all of these excuses for present savage behavior become invalid. Shut that happened to someone’s great great great grandfather who BTW is actually under 10% of your genes by then is horseshit. Keep smoking blunts, working at Arby’s and eating McDonalds, bitch. It’s “the reptiles” fault. Hahahaha
Please point out the other racist shot in the listed and joyed 3rd verse, which BTW has been disontinues for well over 50 years, and is unknown by 99.9% of the populous and obviously by you and racist ass Kaep. It’s easy to spot out random bullshit like your buy Kaep and go mumble rap when confronted with FACTS.
Hilarious. Kaep is actually the racist in all of this…
Some White people will always justify shit through guilt avoidance, Kaep is a racist? Did you bang your fucking head? Oh I get it you were being sarcastic, because only a fucking idiot would think that way.
Immediatly jumped to “White people this, white people that” Yeah you are clearly not on the racist side here. smfh. Btw not all blacks are in sunken place like you, not all blacks are still connected to the matrix like you ans not all blacks are democrates. PERIOD!!!
Any negativity on here with a bunch of half ass facts and long ass paragraphs is a russian troll just trying stir up some stupid ass argument. Let’s not fall for it and look at the agenda behind the paragraph. It’s everywhere, on fB and twitter especially. Gyfoh with someone having time to write a story sitting behind a desk fucking with our society. Can’t wait tilll we go to war and see who the real pussys are…
The only ones coming up with stupid argument to push an agenda are idiots talking about russian trolls, dummy.
Russians have TONS to gain by posting on a Hip-hop site’s comment section. They’re actually doing all of this to target YOU in your mom’s basement. Fucking jackass.
Lmao because if someone has a different point of view from you they’re russian trolls? You’re dumb bro, you’re dumb a.f. but the day the FBI and CIA share this proof of Russians involvment in American elections etc. I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong, and you were right we should’ve been looking out for Russians on comment sections.
What?! Shut the fuck up I just lost all respect for this bitch. Chris come smack this hoe
I heard that since BLM was discredited and shown to be a falicy, and since there actually isn’t anything racist in the unknown, disocontinued 3rd verse of the national anthem, Kaep is now saying he is taking a knee due to Netflix cancelling Luke Cage. Hahahaha. That actually happened and exists, unlike the rest of his bullshit protests, which he was getting paid for all along. BTW, his “woke” ass isn’t protesting child slave labor, right? Hahahaha. Fuckery that clown. His bullshit is helping to fill the prisons with young black men who don’t know any better. Sad.
