Cardi B Says She Declined Super Bowl Halftime Offer, Will Wait Until She’s Ready

Her comments coincide with the Sept. 19 release of Am I the Drama?.

Overview

  • In a new Billboard cover interview, the rapper confirmed she turned down a Super Bowl Halftime Show invitation and said she would consider it in the future.
  • She explained she wants more hits and experience before taking the NFL stage, adding that she is unsure whether the offer came in 2018 or 2019.
  • Cardi B previously said she rejected a 2019 opportunity in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, citing her support for his protest against racial injustice.
  • Her sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, arrives Sept. 19 and includes the hits WAP and Up, which industry reporting notes will not count toward first-week totals.
  • A jury on Sept. 2 found her not liable in a civil case tied to a 2018 incident, a courtroom moment she has woven into promotional merchandise for the album.
