Rihanna previously refused to perform at the Super Bowl
Just a few years ago, the singer refused to perform during the Super Bowl halftime show. It was about the controversy surrounding the league’s approach to black players. Its bosses have been criticized for his conduct against Colin Kaepernick, a San Francisco 49ers player, who knelt during the anthem in protest against police brutality against black citizens.
The artist collaborates with Roc Nation, Jay-Z’s label. In 2018, in one of the songs, the rapper, privately married to Beyonce, posted the text: “I said no Super Bowl / You need me, I don’t need you”. Two years ago, however, the NFL made a deal with Roc Nation, which she wanted to repair her tarnished image.
Rihanna has won nine Grammy Awards, five annual American Music Awards, 22 Billboard Music Awards and two Brit Awards. She has sold over 250 million records worldwide. Her latest album is “ANTI”, released in 2016. Since then, Rihanna has focused primarily on developing a cosmetics company, although she appeared on the screen, among others. in Ocean’s 8.
