Cardi B turned down offer to perform with Maroon 5 at Super Bowl halftime in support of Colin Kaepernick

26-year-old rapper Cardi B had received an offer to perform with Maroon 5 at the Super Bowl LIII but turned down the offer in support of former NFL player Colin Kaepernick
UPDATED FEB 3, 2019

Cardi B is not the person to shy away from taking difficult but necessary decisions. The rapper recently revealed that she has "mixed feelings" about refusing to perform at Super Bowl 53 in support of ex-NFL player Colin Kaepernick. However, that is not really stopping Bardi from making appearances everywhere else this weekend.

It was confirmed earlier that the 26-year-old rapper had received an offer to perform with Maroon 5 at the Super Bowl LIII. She said she initially struggled a lot to turn down the extremely lucrative offer. "I got to sacrifice a lot of money to perform but there's a man who sacrificed his job for us, so we got to stand behind him," she said in support for Kaepernick.
