The line up for the 2019 Super Bowl happening in Atlanta on Feb 3rd has been set, Maroon 5, Travis Scott and recently added, Big Boi.
Many have an issue with all 3 acts taking the stage after Colin Kaepernick was blackballed by the NFL for kneeling for social injustice during the National Anthem. A petition has been going around of fans wanting Maroon 5 to step down, and big names like Jay Z were working to convince Travis to step down as well. Travis revealed this week he only agreed to do the show if the NFL made a joint donation to an organization working towards social justice. The NFL did so with a $500,000, in collab with Trav, donated to Dream Corps.
On Wednesday, sources say Travis and Colin spoke about his upcoming halftime performance and that the two have a mutual respect and understanding.
Colin’s girlfriend, Nessa commented on the post saying, “there is NO mutual respect and there is NO understanding for anyone working against Colin PERIOD. #stoplying”. Adding the caption,
1. Artists don’t get paid to perform at “the big game.” These performers are CHOOSING to do this for a “look.”
2. The fact that many people have told him don’t support the organization that has blackballed @kaepernick7 for standing up for people and he still does it anyways, shows more about him than anything else. 💁🏽♀️
AND! If someone wants to work with the opposition then that’s on them, BUT DO NOT have your team lie to reporters to insinuate Colin was okay with anyone working against him. PERIOD
Looks like some body is spreading fake news, but who?
