Cardi B said she declined an offer to perform at Super Bowl LIII on Sunday in part due to her support of former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Cardi B said she had "mixed feelings" regarding her decision.
"This is how I feel about the NFL. You've been seeing what's going on in this country. You guys should sympathize, you guys should understand why [Colin Kaepernick] took a kneel," Cardi B told Sports Illustrated on Saturday. "They should make a change. You have a lot of colored people that work for you guys [the NFL] that make you guys a lot of money, and just as a human being, you should have sympathy and you should take actions for what's going on in this country to minorities.
