Seems like we won't see RiRi at the Super Bowl anytime soon.
It’s worth remembering that Rihanna is just one of many artists who have distanced themselves from the NFL in support of Kaepernick. She also happens to be signed to Roc Nation, so her disappointment in the move carries even more weight. She hadturned down a chance to perform at the last Super Bowl halftime show, and the development hampers any speculation that Jay-Z's deal might make it more possible that she would take the gig in the future.
Jay-Z addressed the controversy at a press conference Wednesday, and even claimed that he had spoken to Kaepernick before the deal was done. That claim has since been refuted by those in Kaepernick’s inner circle, which doesn’t bode well for the partnership moving forward.
