She’s one of the biggest names in music today. So why did Rihanna turn down one of the biggest music stages and audiences?
Nicholas Hautman of US Weekly reports that Rihanna turned down an opportunity to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show as a show of support for free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
