Eminem kneels during Super Bowl halftime show reportedly after NFL said ‘no way’

Eminem didn’t just rap at the Super Bowl halftime show, he made a statement — one the NFL reportedly disapproved of ahead of the show.

The rapper, 49, knelt during Super Bowl LVI Sunday after performing “Lose Yourself” on the massive stage alongside Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige and Snoop Dogg.

The move was done as a tribute to ex-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who famously knelt during the national anthem at games as a form of protest against police brutality, often used against Black Americans and other people of color.
