Cardi B Won’t Be Performing At The Super Bowl In Solidarity With Colin Kaepernick

While performing at the Super Bowl is rumored to have been a major money move for Cardi B, the rapper has reportedly said no thanks.
One of her reps told Page Six that while there wasn’t a "solid offer" for the rapper and new mom to perform at the Super Bowl, "there were talks about it.” But the rep made it clear that “[Cardi] was not particularly interested in participating because of how she feels about Colin Kaepernick and the whole movement." The rep also shot down rumors that Cardi B would have said yes if she had gotten her own set and a million-dollar payout.

The movement Cardi B’s rep says swayed her decision is #TakeAKnee, formed by Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who protested racial injustice and police brutality against people of color by kneeling during the National Anthem.

Since then, numerous athletes have followed Kaepernick’s lead by kneeling at games, while many artists, such as Rihanna, have turned down the offer to perform at the NFL’s biggest game. (Well, except Maroon 5 and Travis Scott.)
Maroon 5, with whom Cardi B collaborated on the hit single "Girls Like You," is set to headline the performance. Event organizers have reportedly had issues securing other guest performers before signing on Scott, a move that's drawn criticism from big stars, including Michael B. Jordan and Jay-Z. The latter also turned down an offer to perform at the Super Bowl last year and addressed his decision on a verse in “APESHIT.”

Cardi B’s refusal should come as no surprise, given that back in February she reportedly told TMZ she will not perform at the Super Bowl until Kaepernick is hired again. Given that has yet to happen, it’s safe to say football fans won’t be hearing “I Like It” during halftime anytime soon.

This is extreme. How are men who dedicated their whole lives to become the best at something supposed to provide? It seems unreasonable to expect men to become beggars for moral reasons.

lol What exactly do you mean by that? White people sacrifice other white people to appease black anger all the time. This unity that you guys believe whites have is a fairy tale. Yes, they are able to move in ways that blacks can't sometimes, but that has nothing to do with unity and everything to do with the fact that their group is in power which gives them leeway we don't have.

To say that whites are unified in this era where the majority of high level conflict in the country now is between whites is ridiculous.

What about white subgroups? Jews? Italians? There are specific ethnicities that do seem united.

If you whittle a community down small enough, you may find one where the unity is there, but that's true for blacks too. Don't get it twisted though. When the Mafia was truly in power, Italians were largely killing other Italians. Even in recent times, lots of people within the Italian community has problems with all those Jersey jackasses that they felt were making them all look bad.

You're right. After I made that post I actually caught wind of a post of a Northern Italian politician saying racist shit about darker skinned southern italians. Every group's unity falls apart at some point
 
Weren’t like 90% of black celebS at the super bowl last yr after claiming their support for Kap? Let that lil retarded nigga get his money

Yeah, ironically, the primary insult the northerners direct at the southerners is to accuse them of having black blood in them.

How would you go about it in their situation? It's hard to just organize a strike without risking your job

I didn't say they needed to strike
Nor did they need to quit
All they had to do was show some solidarity with colin. Sit on their ass during the anthem or put out a statement of support for the cause. Cats just ignored the reasons why colin did what he did and that he got kicked out the league.

Colin got blackballed for that tho. It hit his career hard and not every player can bounce back

They're risking their livelihood if they do it
