R&B soul legend Gladys Knight will sing the National Anthem, despite a boycott by some fans of the NFL over its treatment of free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has yet to to be signed to a team. Kaepernick, a former member of the San Francisco 49ers, sparked controversy when he began kneeling during the Anthem in 2016 to protest the deaths of African Americans at the hands of police in cities across the nation.
Other performers include Maroon 5, Travis Scott and another Atlanta native, Big Boi, who are slated to perform during halftime.
T.I. recently shared his thoughts on Travis Scott’s decision to perform. The southern artist told TMZ that Scott’s decision is selfish.
“”I think every man have an opportunity…he can make a decision for himself, or he could be selfless,” T.I. said according to TMZ “And, nobody can tell someone when to be selfless.”
