“I couldn’t dare do that,” said Rhianna in an interview with Vogue. “For what? Who gains from that? Not my people. I just couldn’t be a sellout. I couldn’t be an enabler. There’s things within that organization that I do not agree with at all, and I was not about to go and be of service to them in any way.”

Another artist who has in the past turned down performing at the halftime show is mega rapper Jay-Z. Jay-Z has also been a vocal supporter of Colin Kaepernick, however, his recent partnership with the NFL may indicate a possible future performance from the seven-time Grammy award winner.

"With its global reach, the National Football League has the platform and opportunity to inspire change across the country,"  said the Jay-Z. "Roc Nation has shown that entertainment and enacting change are not mutually exclusive ideas -- instead, we unify them. This partnership is an opportunity to strengthen the fabric of communities across America."

Jay-Z’s Roc Nation actually produced the most recent halftime show that saw superstars Jennifer Lopez and Shakira perform. It is still too early to predict who will be taking the stage in Tampa for the Super Bowl 55 Halftime Show but the odds are available for eager sports bettors.
