Wondering why, according to reports, Maroon 5 will be the headliner for the Super Bowl LIII halftime show in Atlanta?

Rihanna has something to do with it.

The “Work” singer was the front-runner to headline the Feb. 3 show, according to Entertainment Tonight. But she rejected CBS and the NFL’s proposal in order to show her support for Colin Kaepernick’s decision to kneel during the national anthem.
