The NFL announced this week Rihanna will headline the Super Bowl halftime show. She confirmed the news gleefully on Instagram with a photograph of herself holding a football.<\/p>\n
This makes Rihanna a sellout. That is at least according to Rihanna in 2019.<\/p>\n
Three years ago, Rihanna confirmed in a Vogue profile that she turned down an opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbsolutely, [I did],\u201d the singer responded.<\/p>\n
Rihanna added she would never participate in an NFL event and enable its racism.<\/p>\n
\u201cI couldn’t dare [perform for the NFL]. For what? Who gains from that? Not my people. I just couldn’t be a sellout. I couldn’t be an enabler. There are 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Strong words from someone about to perform for the NFL and provide it a service.<\/p>\n
