Adam Levine's Super Bowl 2019 Drama & Controversy for Halftime | Heavy.com
The band Maroon 5 accepted the job to be the headlining performer at the 2019 Super Bowl and, along with the gig, came instant backlash.
Social media blew up with opinions that Maroon 5 should have declined the offer, in support of Colin Kaepernick, who is currently locked in a legal battle with the NFL, according to Esquire.
Kaepernick is known for taking a knee during "The National Anthem", in protest against police brutality.
Recently, Maroon 5 keyboardist PJ Morton talked to People about his opinions on the controversy and the band's decision to stand their ground.
Morton explained, "I think there are plenty of people—a lot of the players, to be honest—who support Kap and also do their job for the NFL.
I think we're doing the same thing.
We can support being against police brutality against black and brown people and be in support of being able to peacefully protest and still do our jobs.
We just want to have a good time and entertain people while understanding the important issues that are at hand.".
Maroon 5 Super Bowl Controversy Petition.
Amid the controversy, a petition was posted on Change.org, urging Maroon 5 to drop out of the Super Bowl.
In the petition, it states that Rihanna was offered the gig, but turned it down.
The petition reads, "Rihanna has reportedly turned down the opportunity to perform in front of over 100 million people at the 2019 Super Bowl halftime show.
Why? She supports Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who has been exiled from the NFL because of his decision to kneel during the national anthem … Maroon 5 has made music over the years featuring artists from all genres, including Rihanna, Cardi B and Kendrick Lamar — all of whom have publicly supported Kaepernick in his decision to protest the violent racism sweeping the United States.
Maroon 5 must do the same.".
For their performance at the 2019 Super Bowl, Maroon 5 will be joined by rappers Travis Scott and Big Boi.
According to USA Today, when talking about Big Boi and Scott's participation in Halftime, Levine said, "This is the show that's gonna have the biggest hip-hop presence that there's ever been on the show.
I can't look back and find that to have been the case before.
So, (Travis) is it.
He's the man right now and he comes in hot.".
Adam Levine Expected Super Bowl Controversy.
Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine also weighed in on the controversy, saying that he and his bandmates expected the uproar.
According to USA Today, Levine also said that he'd like to move on from all the drama and focus on the music.
Levine further stated that he wants the band's performance to honor people of color and those who feel that their voices are not heard.
Levine confirmed to Entertainment Tonight, "They will be heard – that's all I want to say because I don't want to spoil anything.".
Each year, ahead of the big game, the headlining artist(s) participate in a press conference, but Maroon 5 opted to not appear.
When this decision was made, the NFL released the following statement, "Maroon 5 has been working hard on a Pepsi Super Bowl LIII Halftime Show that will meet and exceed the standards of this event.
As it is about music, the artists will let their show do the talking as they prepare to take the stage this Sunday.".
In addition to headlining the Super Bowl, Adam Levine is also gearing up for another season of The Voice, on which he plays a coach.

Bamber hails Campbell as a 'star for the future' - Duration: 4:26.
Campbell played a pivotal role in the #912 Earl Bamber Motorsport Porsche winning the round-the-clock enduro, a pair of ruthless passes either side of the final Safety Car deciding the race in his favour
The first was on BMW driver Chaz Mostert at The Chase, Campbell forcing the Schnitzer M6 wide to grab third place
A textbook move on Raffaele Marciello to take second was then followed by a second door-bashing pass, this time on Jake Dennis in the Aston Martin at Forrest's Elbow to take the lead of the race
According to Bamber, who himself was making his GT3 debut as a team owner, the stint was a line-in-the-sand moment for Campbell
"We don't come here to come second, right? We gave him a call on the radio and said 'just go flat out at it', and he absolutely went flat out," he told Motorsport
com. "He was pushing every lap. And it was hot in the car; you could see he was exhausted on the podium
"What a talent to do that. He sort of rose the team all weekend. He led it for is
"I think he's a big star for the future, as we saw [by how he] drove today." Bamber added that Campbell's teammates Dirk Werner and Dennis Olsen played their parts as well, with the only damage on the #912 entry from the Aussie's wall-scraping move for the win
"Dirk, Dennis, and Matt, they all threw 110 per cent at it all weekend," said Bamber
"In the race we put them under tough conditions, and they got the job done. They didn't do a mistake, there's not a scratch on the car – except for the wall grind at the Elbow
"Apart from that she's all clean." It wasn't just the team boss left impressed with Campbell's charge to the finish, Werner also heaping praise on the young gun
"[The final stint] was nerve-wracking, to be honest," said the experienced German
"We knew we had a chance to win. We had a quick car at the end, with Matty we had a driver who knows this track very well
"He's young, but he races like a real professional. "We were all a bit excited in the pits there
To see all these moves he put on in the end was amazing. We were all fans of Matty in that moment and cheering
It was really loud in our pits. It was just a great race. "This is a win I've been waiting for a long time," Werner added
"What is really nice to see is that on all ends everyone did nearly a perfect job
This is how you want to win a race. You don't want to profit from mistakes your competitors make
"You want a win where you know you deserve it, and I think this is well-deserved for everyone who was involved
"

Jenas names Man City player as an example transfer target blueprint for Spurs - Duration: 2:09.
Jermaine Jenas believes that Tottenham Hotspur are one player short of challenging for the Premier League title
Tottenham are currently without star striker Harry Kane until the beginning of next month after he suffered ankle ligament damage late on in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at Wembley
Jenas, who now works as a football pundit admitted that it is difficult for Spurs to recruit a proven striker who would be prepared to come in and sit on the bench when Kane is fit, so instead should look to sign an up and coming talent
The former Spurs midfielder used Manchester City's signature of Gabriel Jesus as a prime example of the type of player that the club should be looking to target, who would be patient to be Kane's understudy yet has the potential to become a big player
q1qaa Spurs continued their impressive Premier League campaign yesterday with a late 1-0 win against Newcastle United
Jenas told BBC's Football Focus (2/2/19): They are one player away, but that one player is very difficult to find
"It is somebody to support Harry Kane and is there a better version of Fernando Llorente to come in should something happen to Harry Kane? "I am sure they are out there looking
We saw Gabriel Jesus go to Manchester City very young as a prospect, that's what they need to find, that type of player that is young and prepared to sit underneath Harry Kane, but he is going to be a big player
"

Behati Prinsloo, Adam Levine's Wife, Shows Support for Super Bowl Gig | Heavy.com
Adam Levine and his band, Maroon 5, has faced a lot of backlash amid their decision to be the headlining performers at the 2019 Super Bowl.
This is due to the controversy surrounding the NFL's relationship with former player Colin Kaepernick, who is known for kneeling during the National Anthem before games, in order to protest police brutality.
Levine has addressed the hate and hopes to move on for it, focusing on the music.
Amid all the backlash, Levine has definitely had people in his corner, his wife, Behati Prinsloo, in particular.
Ahead of her husband's big gig, Prinsloo posted a photo of the band inside the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which is hosting this year's Super Bowl, on Instagram.
With the photo, Prinsloo wrote a supportive caption that reads, "Once in a lifetime … so proud of these boys @maroon5 #superbowl53.".
Adam Levine confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that his wife will be attending the Super Bowl and cheering him on.
Just a couple months ago, Levine attended the 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to applaud for Prinsloo as she walked the catwalk after taking a break from the runway to become a mother to their children.
According to E!, when Prinsloo decided to return to the Victoria's Secret catwalk she said, "I did the Victoria's Secret show eight months after I had Gio.
I felt so empowered.
I was like, 'I can do this, I have two kids.' It was a beautiful journey; I loved being pregnant and I enjoyed getting back to work.".
Levine and his wife have two daughters together.
The couple's first-born child, Dusty Rose, was born on September 21, 2016, and their youngest, Gio Grace, was born on February 15, 2018.
Neither of their kids will be at the Super Bowl watching their daddy, but they will be watching on the TV at home, according to Levine.
.
Recently, Prinsloo spoke with PorterEdit about how she met her husband.
She recalled, "I met my husband through a mutual friend.
Adam was looking for a girl for a music video that could do some action stuff, and our friend was like, 'You should meet Behati because she's a total tomboy and down for anything,' so he emailed me asking if I could do it.
I ended up not doing it, but we kept emailing each other.
It was such a natural correspondence that we kind of fell in love over email.".
She continued, "A month later, I went to LA for a job, and that was the first time we met in person.
I remember walking in: I opened the door, and it was the classic moment where the light shines into the dark studio and everyone turned to look at me.
He had boxing gloves on and he came to hug me – it was so awkward.
Then he took me for dinner and we talked for hours and had the best time.
It was love at first sight, it was crazy." Prinsloo revealed that during their courtship, they broke up for a couple months and realized that they wanted to be together.
Soon after getting back together, they became engaged and then got married in a secret wedding.

Say What? A-Rod Joins Mr. Peanut for Super Bowl 2019 Commercial - Duration: 2:55.
Say What? A-Rod Joins Mr. Peanut for Super Bowl 2019 Commercial
Alex Rodriguez and Mr Peanut are joining forces! The Yankee legend and the Planters mascot are slated to appear in a new commercial for the snack food company that will debut on Sunday, February 3, during the second quarter of the Super Bowl.
The ad, which will focus on how far Mr Peanut is willing to go to "give fans a reliably crunchy and satisfying salty snack that delivers on their cravings in their greatest moments of need," marks the first time the animated legume will star in a Super Bowl commercial.
The 43-year-old athlete is the aforementioned fan in need.
"I've had a lot of experience coming through for my baseball teammates and my family in crunch time, but even I need help sometimes, too," Rodriguez said in a press release. "That's where my guy Mr Peanut comes in.
He's there for me when I need a crunchy snack and always has my back.".
In a teaser for the upcoming commercial, baseball's grand slam leader is seen relaxing on a couch as Mr Peanut throws nuts in his mouth from afar. "Game day's gonna get nutty," the teaser declares.
Though A-Rod has never appeared in a Super Bowl commercial before, he's no stranger to the big game.
He and girlfriend Jennifer Lopez celebrated their one-year anniversary at Super Bowl LII in 2018, and in 2011 the Yankees slugger was caught on camera being fed popcorn by then-flame Cameron Diaz during the sporting event.
Fans will need to wait until Super Bowl Sunday to watch the full ad, which was created by VaynerMedia, but Planters will be unshelling "new nutty developments" as the face-off between the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots approaches.
Super Bowl LIII airs on CBS Sunday, February 3, at 6:30 p.m. ET.
