Cardi B Reportedly Turned Down Her Super Bowl Performance Offer In Support Of Colin Kaepernick

Cardi B has reportedly declined an opportunity to perform at halftime during the Super Bowl in February out of solidarity with a boycott in support of Colin Kaepernick’s ongoing fight against the NFL, according to Page Six, which wrote that a source close to the “Money” rapper “doesn’t want to do it unless they roll out the red carpet for her.”

She was reportedly invited to participate alongside Maroon 5 for their hit “Girls Like You,” which, obviously, will not be happening anymore.

Cardi is the first artist to officially decline a Super Bowl performance this year. Last week, it was reported that Travis Scott is set to perform, along with Maroon 5, but Jay-Z is actively trying to persuade Scott to drop out.
