Rihanna said that she declined an offer to perform at next year’s Super Bowl LIII halftime show to support Colin Kaepernick, the out-of-work quarterback who protested during the playing of the national anthem.

The singer was asked by Vogue if a 2018 Us Weekly report about her turning down an offer from the league over Kaepernick was true.
