Just weeks before the release of her new album, Am I the Drama?, Cardi B revealed that she has turned down the NFL Superbowl Halftime show. This is not the first time that Cardi B rejected Super Bowl-related gigs. According to People, the UP Singer shared the real reason why she declined the Super Bowl halftime gig.
Cardi B passes on Super Bowl stage until she’s even bigger
The Grammy-winning rapper shared that she wants to wait until she feels that the time is right. This is why Cardi B rejected the Superbowl offer. “I got asked to do the Superbowl and I said no,” the mom of 3 revealed. She said, “I feel like when I finally do it, I’ll have more hits, I’ll be more seasoned, and I’ll be ready to own that stage completely.”
This isn’t Cardi B’s first time walking away from doesn’t align with her. In early 2019, the singer offered support to former NFL player, Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick famously took a kneel to protest racial injustice as the national anthem was performed. At the time, she explained that she stood with him because he “stood up for minorities.”
Since her “Invasion of Privacy” debut in 2018, the BET award winner has proved her worth. The record not only debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200, but also held for 156 weeks on the chart. It became the first album in history to have every track certified platinum or higher. With bangers like “I like it” and “Bodak Yellow”, the record earned her a Grammy for Best Rap Album. This made her the third woman ever to win in this category, after Doechii and Lauryn Hill.
Her decision to wait on the Super Bowl stage aligns with her desire for powerful and unique portrayal of her art. As Cardi B gears up for the release of her upcoming album, she shared that this album feels very different to her. “It’s a whole vibe,” she told Billboard, “I am completely confident in this album.” She added that she feels that there “isn’t anything like it is out there right now.”
As for her aspirations? The “Please me” singer isn’t about chasing trophies right now. She is all about her redefined mantra of success. For her, success will be when people say, “She delivered a great album.”
