Vogue interviewRihanna has confirmed she turned down the chance to headline February’s
Super Bowl halftime show in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick.
In 2016, quarterback Kaepernick started to kneel for the pre-game national anthem in protest at racial injustice in the United States. He has been out of the
NFL since leaving the San Francisco 49ers in 2017, and he later settled a case with the league in which he alleged he had been blackballed by team owners for his protests.
