Cardi B Says She Turned Down Super Bowl Halftime to Support Colin Kaepernick

Add Cardi B to the list of performers who turned down an offer from the NFL to perform during the Super Bowl LIII halftime show in a sign of support for Colin Kaepernick.

Per Jonathan Landrum Jr. of the Associated Press, the hip-hop artist explained her mixed emotions in turning down the gig before ultimately deciding it was the right thing for her to do:

“My husband, he loves football. His kids play football. It’s really hard for him. ... He really wants to go to the Super Bowl, but he can’t go to the Super Bowl, because he’s got to stand for something.
