Cardi B passes on Super Bowl halftime show

Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B has revealed that she was offered the opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show but chose to decline.

In a recent interview with Billboard, she explained that she wants to wait until she feels more musically and personally prepared for such a high-profile performance.

“If I get to do it, I’m going to have more hits and I’m going to eat that up,” Cardi B said, emphasizing her desire to deliver a show-stopping performance when the timing is right.

This isn’t the first time Cardi B has turned down a Super Bowl offer. In 2019, she declined an invitation to perform at Super Bowl LIII in support of former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who protested racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem. At the time, she cited her commitment to Kaepernick’s cause as the reason for passing on the opportunity.

Fans of the rapper have expressed understanding and excitement for the future, anticipating the day Cardi B finally takes the Super Bowl stage.

Meanwhile, she continues to focus on her music career, releasing new hits and preparing for upcoming projects.

Her decision highlights her focus on artistic readiness and personal convictions, reinforcing her reputation for authenticity in both her music and public persona.
