It looks like Rihanna is standing up for what she believes in by rejecting an offer to headline the Super Bowl half-time show.

Us Weekly reports that the NFL approached the singer to be the main act at the event next February but she turned it down in order to show support for Colin Kaepernick.

He's one of the American football players who peacefully protested against police violence against the black community in America, by kneeling during the national anthem before games.

Riri has reportedly turned down the NFL offer because she doesn't agree with how the organisation handled the issue, which got a massive reaction, both positive and negative.

Now it's believed Maroon 5 will get the gig, which will take place in Atlanta, Georgia on February 3rd 2019
