Grammy-nominated rapper Cardi B said she received an offer to perform at Sunday's Super Bowl but turned down the lucrative opportunity in support of ex-NFL player Colin Kaepernick. The Bronx, N.Y.-born artist said she had “mixed feelings” but ultimately declined the gig for Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta out of an obligation to “stand behind” Kaepernick because he “stood up” for minorities. 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,” she said. Cardi B said last year she would decline to take the stage at the Super Bowl until Kaepernick signs with a team. “I hear people saying like ‘Oh, y’all are saying all this stuff about the Super Bowl, but you’re doing all these parties,’” she said.
