Rihanna says she 'absolutely' rejected the Super Bowl halftime show to show support for Colin Kaepernick.
It was widely reported that RiRi rejected the SB 54 halftime show -- the biggest entertainment event in the world -- because she believed the controversial NFL QB was being blackballed."I couldn’t dare do that. For what? Who gains from that? Not my people," Rihanna says ..."I just couldn’t be a sellout. I couldn’t be an enabler."
"There’s 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.” At the time, Rihanna wasn't shy about her displeasure with the shield ... and she even mocked the league in a video she posted while on an airplane during the Super Bowl.
